ov 11 21:51:09 ((no))
Nov 11 21:57:32 ** a while later, a servant comes to let morgan know Mina's father has arrived ((name has gone from my memory again))
Nov 11 21:58:08 * Morgan thanks the servant, asking for coffee to be sent to the room he'll be speaking with Hapsburg
Nov 11 22:02:36 **everything is ready before the older man enters. Even though its only been a few weeks, he looks much older, his gait less steady.
Nov 11 22:04:24 * Morgan offers the older man a seat
Nov 11 22:06:33 *he sits* How are you, Morgan?
Nov 11 22:07:05 I can't complain too much... and you?
Nov 11 22:07:39 I am old, but thankful.
Nov 11 22:07:52 thankful?
Nov 11 22:08:38 It is a state denied to many, being old.
Nov 11 22:08:45 * Morgan nods
Nov 11 22:08:48 I suppose it is
Nov 11 22:09:37 You wanted to see me?
Nov 11 22:10:19 * Morgan nods before sipping his coffee
Nov 11 22:10:29 I wanted to talk to you about Mina
Nov 11 22:11:56 He looks a little puzzlef
Nov 11 22:12:06 What about her?
Nov 11 22:13:43 where to begin... you know she is in love with my brother
Nov 11 22:18:20 * AndroUser looks solemn
Nov 11 22:18:32 Yes
Nov 11 22:18:59 I know you've forbidden them to marry
Nov 11 22:19:56 Yes I have.
Nov 11 22:20:15 * Morgan looks solemnly at the old man
Nov 11 22:20:17 I know why
Nov 11 22:20:50 * AndroUser watches him appraisingly for a moment
Nov 11 22:21:20 How do you know?
Nov 11 22:22:12 I know he told you... I've known from the day it happened
Nov 11 22:26:11 * AndroUser nods slowly
Nov 11 22:26:59 You understand why I can't let my daughter marry a man like that.
Nov 11 22:28:37 I understand why you'd feel that... but I want to urge you to change your mind
Nov 11 22:33:44 * AndroUser frowns deeply
Nov 11 22:34:07 That is very unlikely.
Nov 11 22:36:02 why?
Nov 11 22:37:20 I do not change my mind easily, especially where it concerns Mina
Nov 11 22:37:35 * Morgan nods
Nov 11 22:37:56 He loves her completely, you know
Nov 11 22:43:15 * AndroUser shakes his head
Nov 11 22:43:32 What does a man like that know of love?
Nov 11 22:44:58 More than you'd expect
Nov 11 22:45:29 * AndroUser sips his coffee thoughtfully
Nov 11 22:45:49 How can you intervene for him, after what he did?
Nov 11 22:48:35 Its a tough decision, make no mistake. I would've given everything for my love, thats how deeply I believe in its importance... to not speak up for his love for your daughter which is so plain to see, would be solely out of a desire to hurt him, rather than to do what is right.
Nov 11 22:52:52 But does he not deserve that hurt?
Nov 11 22:54:53 He's already hurt... I lost Dietlinde, forever... he's lost Mina for the same time, but always had to live with the hope you might change your mind
Nov 11 22:56:32 * AndroUser looks thoughtful
Nov 11 22:57:10 And with the risk that she'd fall in love with someone else, or be forced to wed...
Nov 11 22:57:15 * Morgan nods
Nov 11 22:57:56 How do you know he truly loves her?
Nov 11 22:59:30 Even knowing I might have killed him, he told me the truth... my brothers no liar
Nov 11 23:05:06 And _if_ I relented, then what?
Nov 11 23:07:15 Then, if she's willing, they get married, they're happy, Eisen is stronger, so on so forth
Nov 11 23:08:06 Are you going to tell her what he did?
Nov 11 23:08:27 * Morgan shakes his head
Nov 11 23:09:24 I suppose if anyones got a right to, its me, but what good would it do
Nov 11 23:12:45 Because she shouldnt marry him whilst being kept in the dark about this
Nov 11 23:13:58 * Morgan sips his coffee
Nov 11 23:14:43 Something to think about, certainly... not something that needs to be decided right now, though
Nov 11 23:19:35 * Morgan sighs
Nov 11 23:20:02 when they fell in love, Mina gave Edward a peacock feather from her mask... 
Nov 11 23:31:39 * AndroUser smiles a little
Nov 11 23:31:49 I remember
Nov 11 23:32:08 * Morgan pulls the feather out of his jacket and places it on the table
Nov 11 23:35:03 He's returning it?
Nov 11 23:35:44 Don't be ridiculous... he gave it to me to show as proof of his love for her... he's kept it with him until he handed it to me
Nov 11 23:38:43 * AndroUser looks at it for several seconds.
Nov 11 23:39:16 If it was your child, would you let them marry someone with his history?
Nov 11 23:41:16 If thats what they wanted... yes.
Nov 11 23:41:51 * AndroUser nods slowly
Nov 11 23:42:36 I am getting old. I won't be around to make sure she's safe with him...
Nov 11 23:42:59 Thats a conversation I've already had... I'll be around

Jan 14 22:27:27 If thats what they wanted... yes.
Jan 14 22:27:27 * AndroUser nods slowly

Jan 14 22:27:27 Thats a conversation I've already had... I'll be around
Jan 14 22:35:21 *he looks thoughtful* and what for the future? What if other people find out?
Jan 14 22:36:34 Then it will have come from one of very few people
Jan 14 22:39:32 I dont want my daughter hurt or humiliated.
Jan 14 22:39:45 * Morgan nods
Jan 14 22:39:52 I know... 
Jan 14 22:42:23 She has refused everyone I've suggested
Jan 14 22:42:33 * Morgan nods
Jan 14 22:42:38 I wonder why that might be...
Jan 14 22:48:43 But will she still love him when she knows?
Jan 14 22:48:59 * Morgan sighs
Jan 14 22:49:08 I don't believe thats your decision to make
Jan 14 22:51:15 She needs to know
Jan 14 22:51:57 maybe. But it should be him that tells her
Jan 14 22:57:24 Will she believe he has your forgiveness?
Jan 14 22:57:38 * Morgan shrugs
Jan 14 22:57:43 thats a conversation for she and I
