[16:34] (Molly) [23:45] (Molly) *the small mantle clock chimes the half hour, leaving them thirty minutes to dress for dinner
[16:35] * @Morgan glances at the clock
[16:35] (@Morgan) Varick was pleased to see you
[16:37] * Molly smiles warmly, checking her makeup a moment
[16:37] (Molly) I was very pleased to see him also, it's been a long time
[16:39] * @Morgan nods
[16:39] (@Morgan) thats very true
[16:39] * Molly comes to him, taking his hands. She smiles gently
[16:40] (Molly) I need to see my mother, I'll leave you to dress in peace
[16:40] * @Morgan nods
[16:40] (@Morgan) as you wish blossom
[16:42] * Molly watches him a moment before bringing a hand to his face before rising up to kiss him briefly but firmly
[16:47] * @Morgan kisses her briefly before pulling away
[16:47] (@Morgan) you'll muss your makeup
[16:48] * Molly laughs, her upset at Adalbrecht's manner blowing away.
[16:48] (Molly) I'm saving that particular outcome for later
[16:49] * @Morgan blushes
[16:51] * Molly smiles. He can feel how strengthened she's been by their time alone, feeling now calmer and more confident
[16:51] (Molly) I'll see you at dinner
[16:51] * @Morgan nods
[16:54] * Molly leaves. He gets dressed and presentable. He makes his way towards the dining room. As he walks the long corridor he can already see Molly and Adalbrecht talking at the far end of the room when Verity comes to him. She looks pleased to see him
[16:54] ** You're now known as Verity
[16:54] (Verity) Welcome home, dear boy. I've missed you both.
[16:55] (@Morgan) and I you mother
[16:56] * Verity lowers her voice somewhat
[16:57] (Verity) I am sorry that Molly is not with child yet, but I am sure you will not have to wait long
[16:57] (421) me :Unknown command
[16:57] * Verity smiles reassuringly
[16:57] (@Morgan) We'll wait as long as we have to. There's much to keep us busy in the meantime
[16:58] * Verity nods
[16:58] (Verity) Though it was very quick with you, it took four years for Edward, but it was all well in the end
[16:58] * @Morgan nods
[16:59] (Verity) Shall we go in?
[16:59] * @Morgan nods
[17:00] (@Morgan) After you, of course
[17:00] (Verity) Molly looks very glamorous this evening
[17:00] * @Morgan nods
[17:00] (@Morgan) she's really coming out of herself
[17:01] * Verity goes in. He can see Molly and Adalbrecht still talking quietly but can't tell whats being said
[17:01] (Verity) She is blossoming I think. She'll fit in wonderfully at Court
[17:02] * @Morgan nods
[17:02] (@Morgan) I'm not sure I'll enjoy it much, mind
[17:02] (Verity) *AD looks over, then pulls out Verity's chair for her in preparation.
[17:03] (Verity) You did not used to enjoy Court?
[17:03] (@Morgan) In the past, perhaps... I dont know I have the patience for all the posturing now
[17:04] (Verity) **Martha, HH and Inga arrive, somewhat a surprise that the couple have been included
[17:04] (Verity) It does become tedious
[17:06] (Verity) *AD looks to Morgan* I'd like a word with you a moment, Morgan
[17:07] (Verity) *HH gets all the ladies settled in their seats before taking his own and starting a conversation about the building works*
[17:07] (@Morgan) That it does... perhaps its a failing of mine
[17:08] * Verity smiles, looking a little curious about Adalbrecht's request
[17:08] * @Morgan moves back towards the door
[17:09] (Verity) *AD follows, heading back to the hallway before pulling the door to
[17:10] (Verity) I have apologised to Molly
[17:10] * @Morgan looks at his father neutrally
[17:11] * Verity watches him, waiting for his response
[17:11] ** You're now known as adalbrecht
[17:11] (@Morgan) as you should
[17:12] (adalbrecht) It was insensitive of me. I had not realised she was quite so troubled
[17:13] (@Morgan) It was indeed.
[17:13] * adalbrecht looks genuine
[17:13] (adalbrecht) I will be more careful in future
[17:14] * @Morgan nods slightly
[17:15] (adalbrecht) Is there anything more to say on the matter?
[17:16] (@Morgan) Perhaps in future if you wish to know me feelings on a subject, you ask _me_
[17:17] (adalbrecht) Alright. *he watches Morgan* How _do_ you feel about Edward returning?
[17:17] * @Morgan shrugs
[17:17] (@Morgan) this isn't the place to have that conversation
[17:17] (adalbrecht) After dinner then?
[17:18] (@Morgan) If there's time
[17:19] * adalbrecht smiles
[17:19] (adalbrecht) I'm sure the ladies will manage without us for an hour or so
[17:20] (@Morgan) Not what I meant. If there's nothing else...?
[17:20] * adalbrecht shakes his head, opening the door
[17:22] * @Morgan walks back into the dining room
[17:22] (adalbrecht) **Dinner passes pleasantly, everyone relaxed and happy, lots of talk about their honeymoon and Hh&Inga's wedding. As usual, the ladies head to the drawing room, and the servants offer Hh, Morgan and Adalbrecht port or blokners. Morgan can faintly hear the sound of the piano from the drawing room
[17:34] (adalbrecht) **The clock chimes for half after eight. HeinzHarold downs his glass of blokners before bowing to Adalbrecht. Adalbrecht smiles enigmatically
[17:37] (adalbrecht) Hh: If you'll excuse me, my Lord, I have a few things I need to do before the wedding. *Adalbrecht nods. HeinzHarold inclines his head to Morgan before making a slight gesture to Morgan that means "I'm going to check the perimeter"
[17:37] * @Morgan nods slightly
[17:38] (adalbrecht) *HeinzHarold leaves. Adalbrecht looks to Morgan* more blokners?
[17:38] * @Morgan shakes his head
[17:38] (@Morgan) No, I want a clear head this evening
[17:38] * adalbrecht smiles
[17:39] (adalbrecht) For your best man duties?
[17:39] * @Morgan says nothing, staring at the table, sipping the last of his drink
[17:40] (@Morgan) a cup of tea would be nice, though
[17:41] * adalbrecht rings the bell. Quickly it's served and they're left alone.
[17:42] (adalbrecht) Are you now going to tell me how you feel?
[17:43] * @Morgan sips the tea, wincing slightly
[17:44] (@Morgan) That depends... are you going to laugh at me as you did Molly?
[17:44] * adalbrecht looks serious
[17:45] (adalbrecht) No. No I'm not.
[17:46] (@Morgan) I'm conflicted about it
[17:46] ** New query from Morgan (Available on submenu 'Windows')
[17:50] * adalbrecht nods slowly
[17:50] (adalbrecht) Why?
[17:51] (@Morgan) He took everything from me, changed who I am forever. I want to kill him, still, but my own code of honour wouldn't allow it, even if I didn't have more important things to do with him
[17:52] * adalbrecht nods, sipping his blokners
[17:52] (adalbrecht) I can understand that.
[17:53] (adalbrecht) You won't tell me what you intend to do with him?
[17:54] (@Morgan) You'll tell me what your big plan is for HeinzHarold?
[17:55] * adalbrecht smiles, looking pleased with himself
[17:55] (adalbrecht) No, you'll find out tomorrow
[17:55] (@Morgan) There's your answer then
[17:56] (adalbrecht) **There's a knock on the door. The servant enters, bringing Morgan a note
[17:56] * @Morgan thanks the servant, taking the note and reading it
[17:57] (adalbrecht) **it's coded
[17:59] (adalbrecht) **the code is one long string of letters, just like Karstens diary
[18:00] * adalbrecht looks enquiringly at him
[18:00] (adalbrecht) Problem?
[18:00] * @Morgan glances up
[18:00] (@Morgan) Potentially...
[18:01] * @Morgan sets to decoding it
[18:06] (adalbrecht) *it says "I love you and nothing will ever change that. I am here for you as always, as I was from the beginning. Whatever happens, I support and stand beside you. Yours, MK"
[18:07] (@Morgan) No... no problem
[18:09] * adalbrecht nods. HeinzHarold knocks and enters. He bows again to Adalbrecht.
[18:11] (adalbrecht) HH: As it happens, my mother had already sent over what I needed, my Lord. If you'll excuse me, I'll join the ladies now.
[18:12] * adalbrecht nods. Once out of sight, HH gestures for "target fifteen minutes from our position*
[18:13] (@Morgan) Why don't we adjourn to your office... or mine...
[18:14] * adalbrecht looks confused
[18:15] (adalbrecht) You do not want to join the ladies?
[18:15] (@Morgan) No, and neither do you.
[18:15] * adalbrecht raises an eyebrow
[18:16] (adalbrecht) I beg to differ *he laughs, puzzled by Morgan*
[18:16] * @Morgan shrugs
[18:16] (@Morgan) suit yourself
[18:16] * @Morgan looks at the clock
[18:17] (adalbrecht) You're being cagey.
[18:17] (@Morgan) The word you're looking for is enigmatic... or obtuse...
[18:21] (adalbrecht) Why?
[18:22] (@Morgan) Because... old habits are hard to break, and keeping information to myself is one of them
[18:23] * adalbrecht frowns deeply
[18:23] (adalbrecht) You're punishing me because I hurt Molly?
[18:24] * @Morgan looks at his father
[18:24] (@Morgan) No... If I punish someone, I make it very _very_ clear
[18:26] * adalbrecht watches him closely
[18:27] (adalbrecht) What is going on, Morgan!
[18:27] (adalbrecht) ?*
[18:28] (@Morgan) Edward had a messenger in the village watching for me...
[18:29] * adalbrecht looks neutral
[18:30] (adalbrecht) Right. And where is your brother?
[18:31] (@Morgan) Probably something like a quarter of a mile away
[18:31] * @Morgan sips his tea
[18:31] (@Morgan) He wanted to know when I arrived back... if I did before he arrived...
[18:32] * adalbrecht nods. His lack of expression is unnerving
[18:33] (adalbrecht) In that case, we need to go to the State Room
[18:33] (@Morgan) I'm fairly sure I suggested somewhere more... formal
[18:35] (adalbrecht) More formal than the State Room? It's the furthest from the servants and the ladies. If yelling is to occur, let's do it somewhere where it causes no alarm.
[18:35] (@Morgan) as you wish... perhaps arrange for some drinks...
[18:36] * adalbrecht smiles distractedly
[18:36] (adalbrecht) It's taken care of
[18:38] * @Morgan shrugs
[18:38] (adalbrecht) **There's a knock on the door. Reinhardt enters, and bows to both
[18:39] (adalbrecht) My Lords, Claudia asked me to tell you that Lord Edward will arrive imminently
[18:39] * adalbrecht nods
[18:40] (adalbrecht) You know what to do, Reinhardt.
[18:41] (adalbrecht) *the butler leaves. Adalbrecht puts down his half full glass, walking out of the room.
[19:18] ** You are now disconnected
