------------------------------ Logging started for Blitzed:#7thseaic on Wednesday, 22 May 2019 20:01:55 British Summer Time ------------------------------ ** You have joined #7thseaic (Molly) (@Fuchs) **they both nod, though curious eyes wander over the young girl in men's clothing* (Molly) (@Fuchs) **she looks to Morgan with a look that says "I told you so" (Molly) (Morgan) Gentlemen, this young lady has our word that nothing untoward will happen to her... do you understand? (Molly) (@Fuchs) **they look at Morgan, nodding again* (Molly) * @Fuchs nods, taking her up to the cell the Comte had (Molly) (@Fuchs) **The guards watch Morgan * (Molly) (Done) (@Morgan) If at all possible gentlemen, I'll be relieving you so you can attend your friends service (Molly) *they look surprised * G1: Thank you, my Lord. One of them was married to my cousin, so it's family. G2: I think my brother in law's sister married into one of the families too. It's like that here in Fischler, my Lord * @Morgan nods ** You're now known as Fuchs * Fuchs comes back down (Fuchs) Get a roofer up there and fix it, if you can find anyone who will do it on a Sunday. If not, Send for me and I'll do it myself tonight (Fuchs) *they nod, bowing* * Fuchs looks enquiringly at Morgan (Fuchs) Anything else? * @Morgan shakes his head * Fuchs nods, heading out into the early morning sunshine, the position of the sun tells Morgan it's around half after six. (Fuchs) We could possibly make it in time to get the guard looking for the goatherd off the ferry, if we ran there. (@Morgan) we don't need to... I know who paid him (Fuchs) Your man who caught her? * @Morgan nods * Fuchs nods slowly (Fuchs) I'm impressed by him (@Morgan) he's good at what he does * Fuchs starts walking along the road that runs through the town to the Eisenfurst's house (Fuchs) I want to take a look at the security of the nursery suite today * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) as you wish (Fuchs) We'll also need to speak to our General. * @Morgan nods * Fuchs looks around generally as they pass through. As it's Sunday, there are no market stalls, and they pass almost no one on the way. The only thing they see open are the doors of both churches as they pass by (Fuchs) He doesn't approve of working on Sundays, and he definitely won't be seeing us before nine. (@Morgan) on the plus side that means he won't be... meddling * Fuchs fights the habit of staring off into the distance that Morgan has already called him on, and nods (Fuchs) That is true. However, we want the situation with her resolved quickly, even without her possessions I suspect she'd be dangerous * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I wouldn't want to turn my back on her (Fuchs) I'd have women guarding her instead if I had any trained. (@Morgan) I'm loathe to release Claudia from protecting my wife * Fuchs shakes his head (Fuchs) Absolutely not. She is vital where she is. (Fuchs) **they pass The Sword Of Redemption Inn and also the side street that leads to Fuchs house (@Morgan) did you need to check in on your wife? * Fuchs does stare off into the middle distance this time (Fuchs) I sent a note. She'll be fine. (@Morgan) if you're sure... * Fuchs keeps walking in the direction of the settlement of Fischler where he went to see the families of the dead guards. He just nods. (Fuchs) **They make good time, and arrive at the manor. It's quiet but guards are patrolling and a few servants are around. (Fuchs) I am going to go and get cleaned up and check in with the guards, unless you need anything? * @Morgan shakes his head (@Morgan) I'm going to check in with Molly * Fuchs inclines his head before striding off towards the guard room * @Morgan heads towards the nursery * Fuchs Claudia ** You're now known as Claudia * Claudia and the the guard he knows is called Oren are on the door. Claudia looks somewhat aggravated * Claudia looks at Morgan as he approaches, then at Oren "Go get us coffee before you swap off again." He nods, looking a little afraid of her, then bows to Morgan as he passes. * @Morgan looks at Claudia (@Morgan) you look cheerful * Claudia waits til he's out of earshot (Claudia) You ever done seven hours of guard duty with someone feels it necessary to talk the whole time? (@Morgan) guard duty, no... however, you've met HeinzHarold (Claudia) I find "Shut up HeinzHarold" works well if accompanied by a dead arm. * Claudia looks with disdain in the direction the man went (Claudia) I had to tell _him_ if he didn't stop talking I'd cut out his tongue and put it somewhere not even his wife would find it. Even that only reduced it by half. (@Morgan) dedication to his cause, see * Claudia makes a huffing sound, then watches him (Claudia) Did you know your wife shouts out like she's being attacked if she has a nightmare? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) disconcerting, isn't it (Claudia) Damn right. I was ready to run someone through and didn't get chance. (@Morgan) did it wake Varick? (Claudia) Luckily not, nor the nanny. I was already in there as I thought I heard something at the window * @Morgan frowns, then tries to think what time Yensid was throwing stones (Claudia) I offered to have someone find you but she said absolutely not, so I left her to it. Then she was up at dawn and has run us ragged with demands since. (@Morgan) oh? like wgat * Claudia rolls her eyes (Claudia) Dried bergamot, a blue fan, hot water, a bulky sword belt, more forget-me-nots, and to go and ask the servants some "casual, curious questions about what his Grace does on a Sunday, and whether he has a private chapel" * Claudia looks at Morgan frankly (Claudia) I know a recon mission when I am sent on one, no matter how prettily it's phrased. (@Morgan) you forget that most people aren't accustomed to your straight forward nature * Claudia shrugs (Claudia) You need HeinzHarold for that sort of thing (@Morgan) casual curious questions? You're right, of course, but since he's not here and we trust you with our lives... * Claudia inclines her head (Claudia) Of course (Claudia) Any new orders? (@Morgan) not so far... we caught the Montaigne girl * Claudia looks very impressed, a rare expression (Claudia) Well done (Claudia) Is she dead? (@Morgan) No... no doubt that'll be the punishment though * Claudia nods (Claudia) How did you catch her? (@Morgan) sadly... Yensid * Claudia makes a look of distate (Claudia) Yensid?! Did he trip over her on the way to a brothel? (@Morgan) its a long story * Claudia nods (Claudia) Another time then (Claudia) **there is the footsteps of the other guard returning (@Morgan) The colonels wife will be visiting during the funeral... she's very sensitive to noise * Claudia nods (Claudia) Alright, we'll do what we can * @Morgan nods (Claudia) **the guard appears with coffee, pouring Claudia a cup as if she might run him through if he doesn't. She takes it. He offers Morgan some* * @Morgan nods, thanking him (Claudia) **He pours some for Morgan, then gets his own, standing quietly for a moment (Claudia) O: Nice weather today, my Lord. Good day for riding or fishing I'd wager. * Claudia rolls her eyes at Morgan * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I dare say it is (Claudia) O: whole week should be good now, after yesterday's storm. Been a good summer for weather here, my Lord * Claudia leans her head back on the door, muttering to herself (@Morgan) if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to see my wife * Claudia nods, unlocking the door. * Claudia opens it for him * @Morgan nods to her before going inside ** You're now known as Molly (Molly) **The first thing he notices is that the room smells of tea with bergamot. Molly rises from the table where she has been writing, and comes to him with a warm smile. She's wearing her blue and white montaigne style dress, and her hair is mostly loose and weaved with forget-me-nots MTF * Molly 's make up is done differently, it's tough to tell how, but rather than noble and fashionable it looks sweet, girlish and makes her look younger and somehow more vulnerable. The heavier sword belt sits lower on her hips, and looks out of place with the dress. She comes and presses a brief kiss to his cheek. Her perfume is different too. (Molly) Good morning, liebling (@Morgan) good morning blossom (@Morgan) whats with the change? * Molly smiles affectionately at him (Molly) The hair? (@Morgan) the makeup, the perfume... * Molly smiles (Molly) Do you like it? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I do * Molly looks slightly surprised, though tries to cover it (Molly) In that case, I shall wear it like this more oft ** You are now disconnected
