[20:24] * Molly carefully tidies what's left of their possessions into their trunk. She's quiet, pensive. Her glass of blokners waits on the table whilst she strips down to her shift, packing her dress, corset and stockings.
[20:28] (@Morgan) are you alirght blossom?
[20:31] * Molly nods, shutting the trunk
[20:31] (Molly) Part of me feels that we should stay
[20:32] * @Morgan nods slowly
[20:32] (@Morgan) I know...
[20:34] * Molly looks unsure
[20:34] (Molly) I am concerned for them... And for Innesbruck
[20:34] (@Morgan) how would we explain our staying?
[20:37] * Molly sighs
[20:38] (Molly) We couldn't without raising suspicion
[20:38] * @Morgan nods
[20:38] (@Morgan) indeed
[20:39] * Molly smiles a little
[20:41] (Molly) Besides, it is HeinzHarold and Inga's wedding the day after tomorrow, the Rose will be in Starke next week, we are due to see Eisenfurst Fischler shortly, and I have to go to the court in Carleon
[20:42] * @Morgan nods
[20:42] (@Morgan) There is much to do
[20:43] * Molly nods
[20:43] (Molly) It might be a blessing rather than a curse
[20:43] * @Morgan looks confused briefly
[20:43] (@Morgan) being too busy to think about it?
[20:45] (Molly) Jacques' ability.
[20:45] * @Morgan nods
[20:45] (@Morgan) quite possibly
[20:46] (@Morgan) I'm not terribly keen on it, mind you
[20:46] (Molly) No?
[20:46] (@Morgan) Of all the nonsense I've seen, that particular brand is my least favourite
[20:48] * Molly smiles slightly
[20:48] (Molly) I can understand that.
[20:48] * @Morgan nods
[20:49] (Molly) Although part of me dislikes the seeds of forgetfulness and their shady operatives more
[20:49] (@Morgan) But thats... easy... to understand, combat, deal with...
[20:51] (Molly) Is it?
[20:51] * @Morgan nods
[20:51] (@Morgan) the seeds are a tool, utilised by people with agendas... given the right conditions, it can be explained
[20:52] * Molly gives this some thought
[20:52] (Molly) Perhaps.  I still dislike it though
[20:53] * @Morgan nods
[20:56] * Molly shrugs, smiling
[20:56] (Molly) Imagine how much difference that'll make (!)
[20:57] * @Morgan looks confused
[20:57] (@Morgan) what?
[20:57] * Molly laughs softly
[20:57] ** New query from Morgan (Available on submenu 'Windows')
[20:58] (Molly) My dislike of it, of that group
[20:58] * @Morgan nods
[20:58] (@Morgan) I'm sure they're all upstanding citizens...
[20:59] * Molly watches him, raising an eyebrow with amusement
[20:59] (Molly) Oh?
[21:00] * @Morgan shrugs, looking at her glass of blokners
[21:00] (@Morgan) are you drinking that?
[21:00] * Molly shakes her head
[21:00] (Molly) No, I doubt it
[21:01] * @Morgan picks it up, sipping it
[21:03] (@Morgan) I've no doubt they think they're making Theah a better place by their machinations
[21:03] * Molly smiles, climbing in to bed, shift still on which is unusual for her. In fact he can only recall her doing so a few times, always when he's been tense, angry or upset.
[21:03] (Molly) Do you think they might be?
[21:04] * @Morgan shrugs
[21:04] (@Morgan) they could just be doing it for their own gain
[21:04] * Molly smiles sadly
[21:05] (Molly) More likely, I fear
[21:05] (@Morgan) Don't fret at it blossom
[21:06] (Molly) It is just sad that men who wish to make the world a better place are so rare
[21:08] (@Morgan) and thats why those interested in the status quo never see us coming
[21:08] * Molly smiles warmly
[21:08] (Molly) That is very true, liebes herz
[21:12] * Molly looks around the room
[21:13] (Molly) Has this development with Jacques changed your desire to live here, once we return?
[21:14] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[21:14] (@Morgan) It hasn't reinforced it, lets put it that way
[21:15] * Molly nods, biting her lower lip in thought
[21:15] (Molly) Living in Sudlachenburg would please our parents more...
[21:16] * @Morgan shrugs again
[21:16] (@Morgan) thats their issue
[21:19] * Molly smiles
[21:19] (Molly) I'd prefer to have our own home
[21:20] * @Morgan nods
[21:20] (@Morgan) as would I
[21:21] (Molly) Koln is so... Stable. I don't feel we're needed there in the same way as here
[21:21] * Molly watches him
[21:21] * @Morgan nods
[21:21] (@Morgan) its in good hands there
[21:23] * Molly grins
[21:23] (Molly) Maybe we'll just stay on the Rose forever
[21:24] (@Morgan) No... I think if there's going to be all manner of nonsense occuring here, here is where we should be
[21:27] * Molly goes quiet, thinking
[21:30] (Molly) We are to cut our sailing short?
[21:30] (@Morgan) I dont recall saying that
[21:30] (@Morgan) though, I have had more of this *he wobbles his glass* than usual
[21:33] * Molly smiles gently
[21:33] (Molly) It was not something you had said. I wonder if it is something we should consider
[21:34] * @Morgan frowns
[21:34] (@Morgan) we can think about it I suppose, though I have to say I'm not overkeen on the idea
[21:36] * Molly shakes her head
[21:38] (Molly) Nor I. I wish to travel, to see the Rose how she was supposed to be, run by someone wise and strong. Someone capable. *her brow furrows*
[21:41] * @Morgan nods slowly, watching her
[21:43] * Molly looks up
[21:44] (Molly) Which she will have in your skilled hands
[21:44] * @Morgan shrugs
[21:48] * Molly watches him
[21:48] (Molly) You doubt yourself?
[21:49] (@Morgan) Its been a while since I had a hand in sailing anything, let alone commanded anythuing
[21:50] (Molly) You're good at being in charge, liebling
[21:50] * @Morgan shrugs
[21:51] (@Morgan) I'm good at shouting at people
[21:54] * Molly nods
[21:55] (Molly) That is true. But you can also be very, very gentle
[21:55] * @Morgan nods
[21:55] (@Morgan) I know, I'm a contradiction in motion
[21:56] * Molly nods
[21:56] (Molly) You certainly are
[21:57] (Molly) Are you ready to return to Sudlachenburg and be questioned by your father?
[21:57] * @Morgan smiles slightly
[21:57] (@Morgan) Oh yes.
[21:57] * Molly laughs
[21:58] (Molly) It sounds as if you are looking forward to it!
[21:58] (@Morgan) maybe a little... maybe I'm looking forward to his reaction to my newfound relaxed demeanour
[22:01] * Molly smiles
[22:01] (Molly) He will be surprised I think
[22:02] * @Morgan nods
[22:02] (@Morgan) I expect so
[22:03] (Molly) Perhaps he will think I have somehow bewitched you
[22:03] (@Morgan) That would be a little ironic, I think
[22:03] (Molly) Would it?
[22:05] (@Morgan) can you imagine the conversation? "She has put a spell upon you..." "no, but did I mention I can control flames now?"
[22:05] * Molly laughs
[22:05] (Molly) And if he disowned you?
[22:05] * @Morgan shrugs
[22:05] (@Morgan) I'm sure I could find somewhere to live...
[22:06] (Molly) Given that Innesbruck is yours?
[22:06] (@Morgan) something like that, aye
[22:06] * Molly nods thoughtfully
[22:07] (Molly) Are you to tell him?
[22:07] (@Morgan) I haven't decided yet
[22:08] * Molly nods, eyes solemn
[22:08] (Molly) I will, as always, do whatever you bid of me
[22:09] * @Morgan nods
[22:09] (@Morgan) I know blossom, thank you...
[22:09] (@Morgan) suppose we'd best get some sleep before the sun comes up to see us on our way
[22:09] * Molly nods
[22:09] (Molly) That'd be wise, yes
[22:11] * Molly makes space for him, and tries not to stare whilst he undresses
[22:11] * @Morgan undresses and slides into bed beside her
[22:13] * Molly smiles fondly at him
[22:13] (Molly) I rather think this is my favourite part of each day
[22:14] * @Morgan stretches
[22:14] (@Morgan) oh?
[22:14] * Molly smiles, voice soft
[22:15] (Molly) It is as if it is just the two of us in the world....
[22:17] (Molly) There are no titles, no responsibilities, just us, free to say whatever we wish, and to do whatever we wish.
[22:17] * @Morgan nods slowly
[22:17] * Molly watches him
[22:18] (Molly) Do you understand, liebes herz?
[22:18] (@Morgan) I want to say yes, but I have a feeling you have something deeper in mind...
[22:20] * Molly laughs
[22:21] (Molly) You overestimate me I think
[22:21] * @Morgan shrugs
[22:21] (@Morgan) I doubt it
[22:21] (Molly) It was as simple as "I love being alone with you" I'm afraid
[22:22] * @Morgan nods
[22:22] (@Morgan) fair enough
[22:22] (@Morgan) I'll confess to feeling the same
[22:22] * Molly smiles
[22:23] (Molly) I'm truly glad. There is no-one I would rather be alone with
[22:23] (@Morgan) probably just as well, given our marital situation
[22:23] * @Morgan smirks
[22:23] * Molly giggles
[22:24] (Molly) You can rest assured there is no-one else I'd wish to be in a marital situation with!
[22:26] * @Morgan laughs
[22:26] (@Morgan) I'm glad to hear it
[22:27] * Molly watches him
[22:28] (Molly) I am utterly yours **he gets a brief flash of memory, her moaning this to him mid-climax beneath him whilst they were staying in Seeufer*
[22:29] * @Morgan blushes
[22:30] * Molly bites her lip, trying to suppress a grin
[22:30] (Molly) Are you quite well, liebling?
[22:30] (@Morgan) fine, fine
[22:31] * Molly gently touches the heat of his cheek. With mock innocence in her tone, yet mischief in her eyes, she speaks quietly
[22:32] (Molly) Oh dear, you seem somewhat flushed... Perhaps you are developing a fever?
[22:33] (@Morgan) could be, could be
[22:34] (Molly) Perhaps you are wearing too many layers of clothing? *she struggles not to smirk*
[22:34] (@Morgan) I dont think thats the case, no...
[22:34] * Molly pretends to think
[22:35] (Molly) Perhaps _I_ am wearing too much and being so close is making you too hot?
[22:36] (@Morgan) could be, blossom, aye
[22:36] * Molly bites her lip to stop the smile
[22:37] (Molly) Then I'm afraid there are only two options... Either I leave the bed... Or...
[22:38] (@Morgan) or?
[22:40] (Molly) Or I shall have to remove my clothing... It's an unconventional treatment, I know
[22:41] (@Morgan) I think that might be best, aye
[22:42] * Molly stands, removing the shift slowly, watching him as much as possible. She throws it over the trunk.
[22:42] (Molly) How do you feel now?
[22:42] * @Morgan pretends to think about it
[22:44] (Molly) Perhaps I ought to come and look you over?
[22:44] (@Morgan) that might be a good idea
[22:46] * Molly gets back in. Propping her head with one hand, she lays close beside him as she places the other on his cheek
[22:46] (Molly) The flushing is subsided
[22:46] * Molly trails her fingers slowly down his neck
[22:48] * @Morgan nods
[22:48] (@Morgan) so it has
[22:49] * Molly moves her palm to his chest
[22:49] (Molly) Heartrate is somewhat elevated
[22:51] * Molly 's fingers slide lower, eyes locked to his, over his stomach
[22:54] (@Morgan) that tickles
[22:56] * Molly looks thoughtful
[22:56] (Molly) I didn't know you were ticklish
[22:56] (@Morgan) not very
[22:57] (Molly) You are lucky then!
[22:58] * Molly tickles across his warm stomach
[23:03] (Molly) I am unfortunately quite ticklish
[23:04] (@Morgan) oh really?
[23:04] * Molly nods
[23:05] (Molly) My brothers used to tickle me when I was quite young but, given the age gap, it was soon deemed inappropriate
[23:06] * @Morgan nods
[23:06] (@Morgan) I can see the sense there I suppose
[23:06] * Molly tickles up his side, watching his reaction
[23:06] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[23:07] (Molly) I think my parents just became tired of my squealing
[23:07] * Molly continues, working up the side of his chest
[23:08] (@Morgan) squealing... no, I think we're going to have to find out about that
[23:08] * Molly looks both surprised and curious
[23:08] (Molly) Is that wise, in a house full of people? *she smiles*
[23:09] (@Morgan) You raise a good point actually...
[23:09] * Molly nods half-heartedly
[23:10] (Molly) I do indeed
[23:10] (@Morgan) however, I'm sure it could be somewhat muffled
[23:11] * Molly watches his expression closely
[23:12] (Molly) Oh? How so? *she blushes, though he can't pick up her thoughts*
[23:12] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[23:12] (@Morgan) evidently you have some ideas on the matter
[23:12] * Molly blushes harder
[23:14] (Molly) Perhaps I could just try very hard to be quiet?
[23:14] (@Morgan) No, I think we need a better idea than that
[23:16] * Molly watches him. She looks both excited and nervous
[23:16] (Molly) Some of the things I heard of on the Coral were somewhat... Unconventional
[23:17] (@Morgan) oh?
[23:20] * Molly continues to watch him, trying to gauge his thoughts
[23:21] (Molly) A hand over the mouth, sometimes even a stocking as a gag is used
[23:21] * @Morgan nods slowly
[23:21] (@Morgan) interesting, interesting
[23:22] * Molly nods
[23:23] (Molly) But we _are_ newlyweds... A certain amount of noise is surely to be forgiven?
[23:23] (@Morgan) I suppose so, aye
[23:24] * Molly smiles, running her fingers up into his armpit with a grin
[23:24] (Molly) Are you ticklish here?
[23:25] * @Morgan frowns
[23:25] (@Morgan) no
[23:25] * Molly tries with a giggle
[23:26] (Molly) Are you sure?
[23:26] (@Morgan) definitely
[23:26] * Molly removes her hand
[23:27] (Molly) Most people are ticklish on their feet
[23:27] (@Morgan) .me brushes his fingers down her side
[23:27] (@Morgan) most, yes...
[23:27] * Molly arches, biting her lip
[23:29] (Molly) Are-... Are you ticklish anywhere?
[23:29] * @Morgan nods
[23:29] (@Morgan) a little
[23:30] * Molly licks her lower lip
[23:30] (Molly) Intriguing.... Behind your knees perhaps?
[23:31] (@Morgan) Not bad, but no
[23:31] * @Morgan runs his fingers across her stomach
[23:32] * Molly 's muscles tighten and she squirms, toes curling. She smiles
[23:33] (Molly) The back of your neck?
[23:33] * @Morgan looks slightly surprised
[23:34] * Molly looks surprised also
[23:34] (Molly) Was I correct?
[23:34] * @Morgan nods, running his fingers back up her side
[23:35] * Molly swallows hard, breathing changing as she tries to fight the sensation
[23:36] * @Morgan smirks slightly, flicking his fingers along her flank a little firmer
[23:37] (Molly) Such a small vulnerability in comparison to my -she shudders, eyes closing and nose wrinkling* all-over weakness
[23:38] * @Morgan tickles her harder
[23:38] (@Morgan) all over? thats unfortunate
[23:39] * Molly grins, her body trying to twist away from his maddening hands. He can see the wild thump of her pulse at her pale throat* oh! Oh yes, very very *she breathes hard* unfortunate
[23:40] * @Morgan chuckles, stopping
[23:40] * Molly takes a deep breath and exhales very slowly
[23:41] * @Morgan takes the opportunity to resume his attack, firmer this time
[23:42] * Molly shrieks, not expecting it. She giggles and cries out, writhing underneath his onslaught
[23:43] (Molly) Oh god! Ahh!
[23:44] * Molly makes a concerted effort, with the remainder of her functioning thoughts, to reach up and tickle the back of his neck
[23:45] * @Morgan slaps her hand away, tickling her harder still
[23:47] * Molly 's eyes quickly widen with surprise then fill further with desire at his action, a brief expression that many would miss, before she's once more wriggling and laughing
[23:47] * @Morgan stops, moving back slightly, laughing
[23:48] * Molly once again tries to catch her breath, feeling giddy and lightheaded and utterly happy
[23:49] (Molly) How are you so good at that?!
[23:50] * @Morgan shrugs
[23:50] (@Morgan) no idea
[23:50] * Molly smiles playfully
[23:51] (Molly) It'd only be fair to allow me my revenge, you know?
[23:51] (@Morgan) No, I think not
[23:52] * Molly slowly runs her hand up his arm
[23:52] (Molly) I'm not inclined to agree
[23:52] (@Morgan) well, I disagree with your disagreement
[23:53] * Molly gets to his shoulder, lightly running her fingertips towards his neck, raising an eyebrow
[23:54] (Molly) I rather think if you wish me to stop, you'll have to make me...
[23:54] (@Morgan) _make_ you?
[23:55] * Molly simply nods, reaching the contested ground
[23:56] * @Morgan slaps her hand away
[23:56] (@Morgan) I dont think you want me tickling you in retaliation...
[23:58] * Molly 's stomach tenses inexplicably at his action and she blushes, biting her lip.
[23:58] * @Morgan frowns slightly, intrigued
[23:59] * Molly flushes further at his expression, but tries not to shy away from the eye contact
[23:59] (Molly) Perhaps I just enjoy your hands on me?
[00:00] (@Morgan) No, I think its something else... or more than that...
[00:00] (Molly) More than tickling?
[00:01] * Molly looks curious but not entirely clueless
[00:01] (@Morgan) more than enjoying my hands on you
[00:01] * Molly smiles
[00:02] (Molly) Being tickled by you is somewhat different than what I had as a child. Then, all I wanted was to escape...
[00:02] (@Morgan) and now?
[00:04] * Molly watches him closely, allowing a gap to form, full of a pleasant tension. She breathes slowly, her words following suit.
[00:04] (Molly) Now I want to yield
[00:06] (@Morgan) to the tickling...
[00:07] * Molly looks a little cautious, studying his expression, his pulse, his breathing ((help please hehe))
[00:08] * @Morgan watches her with interest, obviously enjoying himself
[00:09] * Molly smiles, words carefully chosen
[00:09] (Molly) To the tickling, yes....
[00:11] * @Morgan watches her
[00:13] * Molly pinches her lower between her thumb and forefinger, a familiar gesture from their first time in Carleon
[00:14] * Molly 's voice remains soft and slow, bordering on husky as she delivers the words whilst watching him boldly
[00:14] (Molly) And to anything else you would wish to do to me...
[00:15] (@Morgan) I'm interested in what _you_ want me to do to you...
[00:16] * Molly smiles
[00:17] (Molly) Well, in Seeufer I asked that, if you wished to, you would one day make love to me more roughly...
[00:18] (@Morgan) I thought that was just presenting an option, rather than stating a desire
[00:18] * Molly bites her lower lip, smiling
[00:18] (Molly) Then I apologise for not being explicit enough
[00:19] (@Morgan) Now is the time to be explicit, in what you want...
[00:20] * Molly nods. He can see her nervousness
[00:22] (Molly) I-... I've always found the idea of mixing pain and pleasure fascinating... *she smiles a little* I suppose you've gathered that from certain... encounters we've had where I've bitten, scratched or restrained you...
[00:23] (@Morgan) I've noticed that you enjoy doing that to me, I wasn't aware it was something you're keen to experience
[00:24] * Molly lowers her gaze, blushing rather a lot
[00:24] (Molly) It has been for a very long time
[00:25] * @Morgan nods
[00:25] (@Morgan) I wasn't aware of that
[00:25] * Molly looks up, the sudden solemnity something of a shock
[00:27] (Molly) I am not going to ask you to do something that you feel uncomfortable about, or that you do not wish to do. There is no expectation for me.
[00:27] * @Morgan shakes his head
[00:27] (@Morgan) No blossom, I just had no idea....definitely something to look into
[00:28] * Molly smiles, nodding gently
[00:29] (Molly) For now though, perhaps something more conventional... *she giggles, pushing him onto his back and straddling him*
[00:43] ** You are now disconnected
