22:39:44 **Another half an hour passes whilst he is distracted by the crew and work on the ship* Aug 02 22:40:03 * Morgan sighs Aug 02 22:46:00 * Molly comes along the dock, Sorgi in tow, laden down with things she's made him carry. Her expression is completely neutral, and he feels that her thoughts and emotions are purposefully concealed Aug 02 22:46:56 * Morgan grimaces Aug 02 22:47:05 well, someones in trouble Aug 02 22:49:07 * Molly comes aboard the ship, though her mind is clearly elsewhere. Sorgi looks a bit displeased to be laden up like a pack horse Aug 02 22:52:18 * Molly spots Morgan, though the neutral expression mostly remains. She heads to the stairs Aug 02 22:53:18 * Morgan watches her Aug 02 22:54:20 * Molly goes below, Sorgi in tow. Neither reappears after ten minutes Aug 02 22:54:38 * Morgan squares his shoulders briefly before heading below deck to find her Aug 02 22:56:15 * Molly is in their chambers, watching through the window with a glass of what he suspects is cherry brandy in her hand. Sorgi is nowhere to be seen Aug 02 22:56:32 blossom... Aug 02 22:56:57 * Molly looks around. Aug 02 22:56:59 Yes? Aug 02 22:57:29 are you alright? Aug 02 22:57:53 * Molly thinks about this a moment Aug 02 22:58:16 No, I am angry, I am disappointed. Aug 02 22:58:39 because? Aug 02 22:58:54 * Molly drinks her brandy Aug 02 23:00:15 Because somehow Kai has left me acting as if none of what happened to The Rose was his fault, yet my heart and instinct tell me it all was Aug 02 23:01:31 I agree Aug 02 23:02:30 So why am I left feeling that I am somehow being childish and making a minor accident into some cruel sabotage? Aug 02 23:03:28 because he's very good at manipulating people Aug 02 23:05:32 * Molly nods, again looking back to the dock Aug 02 23:06:39 He even made me feel guilty for him being arrested, but in a "I'm a wonderful and forgiving person" sort of way Aug 02 23:08:59 his arrest was entirely my doing Aug 02 23:09:42 Based on the information I had gotten wrong... Aug 02 23:09:53 * Morgan snorts Aug 02 23:10:04 that information only played a small part of it Aug 02 23:10:25 And the rest was...? Aug 02 23:10:30 my own experience Aug 02 23:11:25 He is such an infuriating man! Aug 02 23:11:54 I could arrange to sink his ship if you'd like... Aug 02 23:15:39 * Molly smiles slightly Aug 02 23:15:45 don't tempt me. Aug 02 23:16:38 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 02 23:18:20 * Molly finishes her drink Aug 02 23:18:41 Why did you send Sorgi to follow me? Aug 02 23:19:33 Because its not safe for any woman to be alone in this sort of place Aug 02 23:20:34 * Molly frowns Aug 02 23:20:47 Then why did you not send him when I left? Aug 02 23:22:26 Because I hadn't come to that conclusion until he pointed it out Aug 02 23:22:53 * Molly nods slowly Aug 02 23:23:16 Not because you did not trust me... Aug 02 23:25:06 not at all bossom Aug 02 23:25:29 * Molly nods Aug 02 23:25:33 Good Aug 02 23:28:06 * Molly smiles at him slightly again Aug 02 23:28:19 It nearly got him killed Aug 02 23:29:07 Sorgi? Aug 02 23:31:27 * Molly nods Aug 02 23:32:30 He isn't as good at shadowing someone as he might think, but not bad enough for me to know it was him. I assumed Kai had sent someone to follow me Aug 02 23:33:17 I see Aug 02 23:34:20 It took a long time for me to realise you might have sent someone Aug 02 23:35:35 he's lucky you're as smart as you are then Aug 02 23:37:14 * Molly smiles Aug 02 23:37:31 Would you say being made to carry so much was lucky? Aug 02 23:37:51 I must admit he didn't look best happy Aug 02 23:41:11 I wasn't best happy at being followed Aug 02 23:41:50 * Morgan nods Aug 02 23:41:56 I can appreciate that Aug 02 23:43:28 * Molly refills her glass Aug 02 23:43:58 Kai is getting married Aug 02 23:44:41 is he? Aug 02 23:45:18 * Molly nods Aug 02 23:45:43 Someone he spent the summer with, someone from our social circle... Aug 02 23:45:58 oh really? Aug 02 23:46:58 He wouldn't tell me who, but she lives in Avalon, and is high enough station not to be able to run off with an Eisenman Aug 02 23:47:31 interesting Aug 02 23:51:04 * Molly nods Aug 02 23:51:24 There's very few women who could fit that bill Aug 02 23:51:50 you have someone in mind? Aug 02 23:52:49 Rebecca? Lady DeWinter? Aug 02 23:53:19 You think so? Aug 02 23:54:51 Who else from "our" social circle has any station, is unattached and Avalonian? Aug 02 23:55:39 well... 'our' social circle is a flexible concept in my case... that being said... Lady Torrington? Aug 02 23:56:10 * Molly frowns, deep in thought Aug 02 23:56:19 Surely not... Aug 02 23:56:54 probably not, but it's a possibility Aug 02 23:58:36 * Molly chews her lower lip Aug 02 23:59:09 He was very adamant that you should either return to defend her from Piram or hand over your post to another... Aug 03 00:01:39 is he now... Aug 03 00:04:27 * Molly nods Aug 03 00:04:51 He says it's putting her in danger that you aren't there... Aug 03 00:06:05 he probably has a point Aug 03 00:06:41 * Molly watches him intently Aug 03 00:07:17 I will understand if you wish to return, but I really would wish that you do not Aug 03 00:09:17 We need to go back there anyway, I'll have a look to see if there's anything to be done Aug 03 00:09:33 * Molly nods Aug 03 00:09:41 I do not want you at risk Aug 03 00:10:35 * Morgan nods Aug 03 00:10:38 I know blossom Aug 03 00:12:10 Regardless of the ways in which I could heal you, it is too much for me to risk losing Aug 03 00:14:03 I don't intend to put myself in harms way Aug 03 00:15:33 * Molly smiles gently Aug 03 00:15:48 Good, you did entirely enough of that before Aug 03 00:16:26 * Morgan nods Aug 03 00:16:30 probably Aug 03 00:17:27 * Molly 's nose wrinkles Aug 03 00:17:48 He congratulated me on our marriage, and said how everyone had seen it coming Aug 03 00:20:55 * Morgan snorts Aug 03 00:21:06 of course they did Aug 03 00:22:32 He seems to think he knows everything Aug 03 00:22:41 thats easy to know in hindsight Aug 03 00:23:03 very true Aug 13 20:40:42 besides, I'd double check even if he said the sky was blue Aug 13 20:41:58 * Molly giggles Aug 13 20:42:14 I do not know how I ever trusted that man Aug 13 20:43:55 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 20:44:15 I don't think you'd have any reason not to, until you got to know him Aug 13 20:44:56 * Molly frowns slightly Aug 13 20:45:28 A stranger offering a woman in need help... I should have been more suspicious Aug 13 20:49:16 you shouldn't have needed to be suspicious Aug 13 20:57:50 Not many men are as trustworthy as you, liebes herz Aug 13 20:58:16 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 20:58:20 they're meant to be Aug 13 21:02:27 * Molly smiles gently Aug 13 21:02:46 It is why you are such a treasure Aug 13 21:03:58 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 21:04:01 I wouldn't go that far Aug 13 21:06:41 * Molly smiles Aug 13 21:06:53 How are you finding running a ship? Aug 13 21:08:03 Frustrating... though, I have gotten to the bottom of the apparent lack of crew that sailed over Aug 13 21:10:20 * Molly looks interested Aug 13 21:10:23 Oh? Aug 13 21:11:26 They previously sailed on a ship that was implicated in some 'possible piracy'...though, Davos assures me that wasn't the case Aug 13 21:12:16 And where are they now? Aug 13 21:12:46 Out there somewhere making a fresh start... Aug 13 21:13:40 Out _where_? Aug 13 21:13:52 on the streets of Eisen Aug 13 21:16:06 * Molly looks unimpressed Aug 13 21:16:33 Why exactly were they on board this ship? Aug 13 21:16:50 _this_ ship? Aug 13 21:20:16 * Molly looks a little awkward Aug 13 21:20:35 Your ship... our ship... I am unsure which is the right term Aug 13 21:22:06 The owner of the accused ship is rather well known so paid for the men and their families to disappear... and Davos helped them Aug 13 21:23:20 * Molly frowns deeply Aug 13 21:24:25 Then he should have _hired_ a ship, not taken possible criminals secretly on someone else's ship and dumped them in Eisen! Aug 13 21:28:37 * Molly shakes her head Aug 13 21:28:53 The Rose should not have been put at risk like that Aug 13 21:29:40 I agree...  Aug 13 21:31:04 what action were you thinking of taking? Aug 13 21:32:11 * Morgan shrugs Aug 13 21:32:28 I really don't know... there's no proof of it, there's no trace of the men or their families...  Aug 13 21:33:23 * Molly nods Aug 13 21:33:33 It seems unfair though Aug 13 21:34:24 * Morgan nods Aug 13 21:34:26 yes it does Aug 13 21:34:36 frankly I'd like to turf them all off my ship Aug 13 21:36:15 You could do that... Aug 13 21:43:48 * Morgan nods Aug 13 21:43:54 Theus knows I want to Aug 13 21:45:00 what is stopping you? Aug 13 21:47:26 I'm not entirely sure... I don't want to be... unfair? Aug 13 21:47:48 * Molly watches him, nodding Aug 13 21:48:25 And how concerned were they about fairness whilst using your ship in an illegal manner? Aug 13 21:48:48 an excellent point Aug 13 21:51:27 It would have been near impossible to prove you did not have any knowledge of it Aug 13 21:52:30 * Morgan nods Aug 13 21:53:15 If I'm honest, I want them all off my ship... with the possible exception of your friend, he seems... honest Aug 13 21:54:14 * Molly watches him Aug 13 21:55:10 Adam is a friend of my brothers. Awkward as I feel, I wouldnt like to hurt my brother that way Aug 13 21:55:56 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:00:27 However, if he does not go with them, he may lose his job Aug 13 22:01:33 I'm forced to wonder if that'd be a bad thing Aug 13 22:02:27 They _did_ manage to resurrect the Rose though Aug 13 22:03:27 very _very_ well Aug 13 22:05:11 * Molly sighs Aug 13 22:05:18 It is a hard choice Aug 13 22:05:26 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:05:58 were it a months ago, I'd have no compunction in throwing them off the ship... and being that decisive is what my reputation has been built on Aug 13 22:06:19 * Molly nods Aug 13 22:06:59 If authorities in AValon discover it, how much damage will be done to your reputation, and to your lands in Catterick Aug 13 22:09:44 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:09:56 I really want no association with that sort of activity Aug 13 22:11:17 * Molly nods Aug 13 22:11:55 Certainly the Eisenfurst here would be none too happy. And that could lead to another Eisen war. Aug 13 22:14:00 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:14:18 the last thing we need Aug 13 22:15:10 Especially as we have land that borders his Koeningsreich Aug 13 22:15:31 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:15:39 I'd say that more or less decides it, doesn't it? Aug 13 22:16:25 I think it probably does, liebling Aug 13 22:16:33 * Molly smiles warmly Aug 13 22:19:07 so then, kick them off the ship or inform the authorities... I'm inclined to say the former Aug 13 22:19:29 The first, with the threat of the second Aug 13 22:19:33 * Molly grins Aug 13 22:20:28 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:20:29 I like it Aug 13 22:22:14 * Molly smiles Aug 13 22:22:46 can we manage with the crew we have to get us to Zweibrucke? Aug 13 22:23:11 * Morgan nods Aug 13 22:23:14 I think so
