He notices Adalbrecht and Varick outside the stable. Varick is slowly riding the pony under Adalbrecht's supervision without a rope in the contained yard ** You're now known as Varick * @Morgan climbs down from the horse, watching Varick as he ties it up * Varick looks focused, listening carefully to Adalbrecht's instructions. It sounds no different than his own tuition two decades before * @Morgan watches for a few moments * Varick spots Morgan with a smile that becomes solemn. Adak (Varick) ((Ffs Dylan)) (Varick) *Adalbrecht comes back to Varick, taking the reins * Varick beckons Morgan over * @Morgan comes over * Varick holds out his arms * @Morgan lifts him off the pony * Varick is just the right height to wrap his arms around Morgan's neck and kiss his forehead. Adalbrecht is directly in Morgan's line of sight, smiling (Varick) I am sorry about your little girl * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) thank you mauschen (Varick) *Adalbrecht looks surprised, guilty then solemn all in one quick process* (Varick) Molly says I can say that, but then if you want to talk about it you will tell me, and if I have any questions she will try to help me with them * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) she's very wise (Varick) ((Attention?)) (@Morgan) ((Varick)) * Varick kisses his crown again, speaking in a whisper (Varick) And not to ask Uncle Addie or Uncle Edward because they are sad too * @Morgan nods slightly * Varick hugs him tightly (Varick) I love you (@Morgan) I love you my young man (Varick) On the pony please * @Morgan places him back on the pony (Varick) I think we should name him Annihilator! **the docile, round pony looks completely blank, and like he couldn't even annihilate a bag of oats* (Varick) **Adalbrecht smiles distractedly (@Morgan) really? (Varick) It's like "Crusader" (@Morgan) to a point, I suppose (Varick) What do you think he should be called * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) That is your choice... maybe something like.... Dobbin (Varick) That's not very fierce (@Morgan) why does it need to be fierce? (Varick) That's just how it is (@Morgan) My horse doesn't have a fierce name (Varick) Oh. (Varick) Can he have an Ussuran name? (@Morgan) If you wish (Varick) What is Crusader in Ussuran? (@Morgan) krestonosets... (Varick) Is that good? (@Morgan) What do you think? (Varick) I like it (Varick) We can call him Krest for short * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) very well then (Varick) **Adalbrecht looks to Morgan: Where have you been? (@Morgan) town... I went to see Edward (Varick) A: I meant all day (@Morgan) Down by the lake. I was troubled by something so kept myself out of the way (Varick) A: **He watches Morgan* Do you want to talk about it? * @Morgan shakes his head (Varick) A: Where is Molly? (@Morgan) She was going for a nap when I left, I'd imagine she'll be awake again now... (Varick) A: **He nods slowly* I will take Varick back to see the butterflies when he is finished with Krestonosets * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) thank you. I'm going to see how she's doing * Varick frowns (Varick) She was crying earlier * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) She is still very emotional, and she had some things to think about that upset her. * Varick nods solemnly (Varick) Okay (Varick) A: Off you go then, Morgan (@Morgan) yes m'lord * @Morgan heads into the house towards the nursery ** You're now known as Marta * Marta is folding washing on the table then into Varick's trunk when he arrives. It smells like fresh tea with bergamot (@Morgan) Marta (Marta) My Lord (@Morgan) how is she? (Marta) She has slept a fair time, she was stirring about ten minutes ago so I would expect her to be ready to wake * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) she will wake on her own, or will she need waking? (Marta) Wake her if you wish, that is fine * @Morgan nods, going through into the bedroom ** You're now known as Molly * Molly is asleep on top of the eiderdown in just her shift, the muddy dress hanging out of the washing basket. Her fingers are on her lower lip as she smiles in her sleep * @Morgan sits on the bed near her, running his hand up her arm, speaking quietly (@Morgan) blossom... * Molly murmurs (Molly) Yes... (@Morgan) its time to wake up blossom * Molly sighs a little, speaking slowly (Molly) But I was having a most lovely dream (@Morgan) I'm sorry * Molly opens her eyes (Molly) No, it's fine, I am sure I will have it again at some point (@Morgan) oh? (Molly) We were sat by the fireplace in your room in the Inn in Carleon. It was raining heavily outside, and you kissed me for the second time * Molly smiles softly * @Morgan nods (Molly) I have dreamt that one a few times (@Morgan) I'm glad you dream of nice things (Molly) I dream of you, so yes * Molly watches him (Molly) Is everything well? Where is Varick? (@Morgan) Varick is being taught to ride... he has named his pony. I've been to speak with Edward * Molly sits up to rest against the pillows (Molly) Who is teaching him? (@Morgan) Father (Molly) Do you mind? (@Morgan) No, I rather think Varick is just humouring him anyway * Molly smiles (Molly) It will be good for your father * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Marta looked at me rather sternly earlier (Molly) Did she? * @Morgan nods * Molly blushes (@Morgan) I felt quite scolded (Molly) I uhh... I did not tell her about last night (@Morgan) which part of last night? * Molly blushes harder (Molly) Where you were kissing my thighs... and higher * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Were you supposed to? (Molly) No, nor would I! (Molly) I would have thought you thought that a little private? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I didn't know if it was something she'd need to know, thats all (Molly) No liebling, it is entirely our business *she looks a little mischievous* I might tell Inga though * @Morgan blushes * Molly giggles (Molly) I am teasing you (@Morgan) I would hope so * Molly leans up, kissing his cheek with a soft laugh (Molly) The secrets of your prowess are safe with me * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) good * Molly watches him with amusement (Molly) She told me I should call you Almighty Overlord at some point whilst we were intimate * @Morgan frowns (@Morgan) hardly fair (Molly) Oh? (@Morgan) making fun of me so * Molly frowns then, looking ashamed of herself (Molly) I am sorry liebling, it was meant lightheartedly (@Morgan) There isn't many times I am vulnerable, but that... is definitely one of them * Molly nods slowly (Molly) I see. I will bear that very much in mind now that I understand that. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) we need to get you up blossom, we have much to do still * Molly nods slowly, distracted, getting off the bed * Molly starts dressing, not speaking (@Morgan) is something wrong? (Molly) No... not wrong, I just did not realise that. I am pondering. (@Morgan) pondering... (Molly) You. The vulnerability. The number of times I have spoken about intimacy in a too-easy manner without realising * @Morgan shakes his head (@Morgan) No, just that.. being mocked at a time like that... * Molly slips her dress on (Molly) The Almighty Overlord thing is mockery? I thought it was more playful teasing. I have misinterpreted the joke I think (@Morgan) playful teasing in any other setting, I'd say * Molly nods slowly (Molly) I shall be more cautious with it * @Morgan nods * Molly frowns (Molly) This would be the same for calling you My Lord or Mon Petit Chou also? (@Morgan) No, I dont mind that so much * Molly nods (Molly) Could you lace me up please? * @Morgan nods, going to her and starting to tighten the laces * Molly sighs softly (Molly) And I may say, or whimper, liebes herz as I please? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) of course (Molly) Probably a good job as I am fairly sure I would be unable to prevent it * @Morgan nods * Molly starts as if she will say something, then shakes her head a little, just waiting for him to finish the laces * @Morgan does so (Molly) So, what has he decided to name the horse? (@Morgan) Krestonosets (@Morgan) Krest for short * Molly turns to watch him (Molly) Why? (@Morgan) Its Ussuran for Crusader * Molly smiles (Molly) That is nice, for his parents * @Morgan nods * Molly puts on her stockings (Molly) What did Edward have to say? * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) he's glad he was wrong. We worked on a few things. * Molly watches him (Molly) I do not like that he even thought it possible I would desire to be another man's mistress (@Morgan) No... but he does not know you well, nor you he (Molly) No * Molly sighs, brooding whilst she puts on her boots (Molly) *distracted* What did you work on? (@Morgan) trust... my ambition for change, his reluctance to move from anything traditional (Molly) That will be a big gulf? (@Morgan) We can but wait and see... * Molly watches him (Molly) You do not wish to discuss it? (@Morgan) It is just going around in circles blossom... he thinks I'm hell bent on upending society and will ruin Eisen, I'm convinced there is a better way. * Molly frowns (Molly) Is this going to be an issue for him following you as Graf Sudlachenburg? (@Morgan) Possibly, but there is time to work on it yet. He has said he hopes I will be in Sudlachenburg when Maubourg dies, to deal with the influx of people from there (Molly) It is likely there will be one? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I don't imagine the treatment of the common folk will be high on the list of priorities... and his death will leave a power vacuum * Molly nods (Molly) Which was partly why you wanted to marry Edward to Teresa, to fill that vacuum (@Morgan) Only a small part (Molly) And the remainder? (@Morgan) Mostly out of spite * Molly sits at the dresser to do her make up (Molly) Are you glad you did not follow that path? * @Morgan nods (Molly) It would have been most distressing for Mina to have discovered he was wed * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) aye (Molly) Especially to her *she giggles* * @Morgan nods (Molly) Did you speak to him about his refusal of my command? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) He's going to speak with you about it but said that in some circumstances, protecting you isn't the same as obeying you. Again, part of that comes down to him needing to trust me, part to the two of you needing to know each other better * Molly frowns a little (Molly) I will speak with him, but I am not sure he will like it... (@Morgan) thats something the two of you will need to resolve * Molly nods (Molly) Indeed (Molly) When would you have me speak with him? (@Morgan) You'll have the time in Atemlos together anyway, so.. * Molly nods (Molly) Yes we will (Molly) I would recommend that you provide Varick with reassurance that you will miss him whilst you are seperated. I tried to explain as well as I could, but I think he found it hard to understand that he could not make you happier by being with him. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I will... he was very sweet when I returned (Molly) Was he? * Molly fixes her hair * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) told me you'd told him about Jana... * Molly nods (Molly) Yes. (Molly) I told him he could tell you he knew... * @Morgan nods (Molly) I have told him it is best not to talk with your father and Edward about it, because he asked me whether he should (@Morgan) aye, he said * Molly nods briefly (Molly) You approve of that? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) its probably the best way to handle it for now * Molly nods (Molly) I thought so. So that is that task dealt with, and the one about their secret conversation. Packing is under way so we can leave in the morning. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Edward wants to introduce me to some of his friends (Molly) This evening? (@Morgan) Before we leave tomorrow * Molly nods (Molly) What thinks you of that? * @Morgan shrugs slightly (@Morgan) it is important to him * Molly nods (Molly) I would imagine so * Molly stands up from the dresser (Molly) We need to go and deal with the next big task that has befallen us! *it sounds more playful than her expression implies* * @Morgan nods * Molly squares her shoulders (Molly) Do you want me to stay throughout, or is there much you wish to say to him alone? (@Morgan) No, we face this together * Molly nods (Molly) As with most things (@Morgan) only most? (Molly) Well, it sounds like you had to face Marta's disapproval alone, I needed to get to the bottom of your Father and Edwards secret conversation alone. We cannot always be together to deal with everything (@Morgan) I suppose so, though I dislike the idea * Molly nods a little (Molly) I know * Molly heads towards the door * @Morgan follows her * Molly heads into the parlour, giving Marta a brief instruction that they will be with His Grace * Molly leads them out into the corridor (Molly) So if not being in trouble for _that_, what did you get a stern look for? (@Morgan) Bringing you back in such a distressed state. * Molly frowns a littld (Molly) I hate how easily she reads me * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) she's good at what she does (Molly) Very. The day before yesterday she knew I was going to be ill before I did! (Molly) On thursday* (@Morgan) oh? (Molly) When I came back from church, I already knew about the heavy bleeding and pain, but I just assumed it was my course heavier and early from the stress of the week. I started feeling nauseated as I got back to the house, but as soon as I got to the nursery she could just tell from looking at me. It is most unsettling! * @Morgan nods (Molly) I dislike not being able to hide what I need to. (@Morgan) I think from most you can... * Molly nods (Molly) And I am glad of that. * @Morgan nods (Molly) I do not like not being able to keep my distress to myself until such a time as I am able to deal with it * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I can understand that * Molly nods (Molly) You are very fortunate in being nearly impossible to read (@Morgan) I suppose so * Molly heads in the direction of the chapel * @Morgan follows (Molly) Even after knowing you so long, I have mostly come to the conclusion that I am unlikely to ever really perceive much of what is going on with you * @Morgan sighs (@Morgan) That feels somewhat like an attack blossom when, truthfully, I rarely know what is going on myself (Molly) It was not meant as an attack, liebes herz. Think of it more as a sign of my frustrations with myself * @Morgan nods (Molly) It is not easy to be unable to provide support because I do not really feel confident that I know what you need (@Morgan) Generally speaking... you * Molly nods slowly (Molly) But doing what? * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) thats not terribly important * Molly smiles (Molly) That's not terribly helpful *she giggles* (@Morgan) No, thats not in my nature I'm afraid (Molly) Being helpful, or being open? (@Morgan) Mostly the former * Molly nods slowly (Molly) It is a complicated thing, for sure * @Morgan nods (Molly) I apologise if my own lack of openness troubles you (@Morgan) it does... when it comes to me, anyway * Molly nods (Molly) I can understand that (Molly) I can only try to do better. But until the emotionality has passed, I do not see my openness will be much other than a burden * @Morgan sighs (@Morgan) as long as I know that is what the issue is, I can deal with that (Molly) That is part of the issues, I think. Much of it is irrational, inexplicable (@Morgan) I wish to help if I can, though (Molly) I know, liebling, I know. * Molly smiles sadly (Molly) I appreciate your perseverance * @Morgan nods (Molly) It saddens me that I am not always the playful, cheerful wife that is most pleasing * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) I adore all facets of you * Molly blushes, smiling (Molly) Even when I am sobbing into pillows and not wanting to talk about my feelings? (@Morgan) even then (Molly) Thank you. Once my emotions have settled I am sure that will stop happening so frequently (@Morgan) I've no doubt (Molly) I can ride from tomorrow apparently * @Morgan nods (Molly) And I intend to make the best of that (@Morgan) oh? (Molly) I am going to need to ride pretty hard and fast at some point along the way (@Morgan) whys? (Molly) Because it helps me deal with things, and because it is one of the most enjoyable things I have ever experienced * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) very well * Molly smiles a little (Molly) I wasn't asking permission... should I have been? (@Morgan) Of course not * Molly nods (Molly) Good. I would not like to have to be wilful about it (@Morgan) You know I will do all I can to help you feel better * Molly giggles, then glances away (Molly) I am certain you did not mean it in that way * @Morgan looks confused * Molly smiles (Molly) It does not matter (@Morgan) Are you being lewd? * Molly glances at his expression to see if he is disapproving (@Morgan) because that is also an option for later * Molly blushes (Molly) Even after everything that I have done wrong today? * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) You were in a difficult position, and we will emerge from it stronger * Molly nods (Molly) In that case, I have many ways that you can help me feel better later * @Morgan nods (Molly) **She gets to the chapel door, taking a deep breath and squaring her shoulders * Molly glances at him, speaking quietly (Molly) Once we do this, there might be no going back (@Morgan) I think _that_ ship has sailed. He wants that much, he needs to move from his current offers * Molly nods, biting her lip. She knocks on the door (Molly) F: *He calls to enter* * @Morgan opens the door for her * Molly walks in slowly, feeling nervous (Molly) F: *He looks quite relaxed, coming over to them and holding out his hand to her* Ah, my dear Veisgrafin, you look well-rested * Molly glances at Morgan's reaction * @Morgan watches him, but not giving off any hostility * Molly puts her hand in Faulks, and he bows over it before letting go and inclining his head to Morgan (Molly) F: Morgan, how are you? (@Morgan) Well enough, your grace (Molly) **He gets that feeling of being watched* (Molly) ((Attention?)) (@Morgan) ((Eisenfurst)) (Molly) F: *He glances around the room, then watches Morgan's reaction* (Molly) F: Would you prefer to go to my office? * @Morgan shakes his head (@Morgan) No, I'm fine here (Molly) F: *He offers them a seat near the altar * @Morgan waits for Molly to sit * Molly does so, and Faulk does likewise. ** You're now known as Faulk * Faulk looks to Morgan (Faulk) What can I do for you? (@Morgan) Where to start... * Faulk waits patiently (@Morgan) I am... disappointed. * Faulk watches him (Faulk) Go on (@Morgan) What you have asked of _my_ wife is huge... to dictate that she should decide alone is shameful. We are meant to be friends, you should know that I would only seek to help her come to a decision without such distress. * Faulk watches him some more (Faulk) That is very blunt, Morgan. (@Morgan) I'd like to think we have enough respect for each other to be such (Faulk) Then I will return that bluntness. Molly needs the confidence to make choices such as these. When she is Grafin, she will need to rule in your stead and make tough decisions. If you died, she would be responsible for filling the gap as a regent for your heir. (@Morgan) You went the wrong way about it. There is time to learn those things. (Faulk) That time is generally far less than you perceive. I have experience in this. It took me many years to build the confidence I needed to rule, and I would see her build that far sooner than I did. (@Morgan) You put her in an awful position, given the magnitude of what you ask. (Faulk) I understand that this is a complex decision. This is why I had not pushed for an immediate answer. I wanted Molly to take the time to really think about what she wants and where her responsibilities lie. (@Morgan) It was not acceptable to do that to her. (Faulk) It was not my intent to cause distress. It was my intent for Molly to decide for herself and develop the ability to do so. (@Morgan) Intent or not, that is what you caused. * Faulk looks to Molly (Faulk) My dear Veisgrafin, I apologise for causing you distress. *she nods a little, voice quiet* Thank you, your grace * Faulk looks back to Morgan (Faulk) You will accept my apology to your wife? * @Morgan nods * Faulk watches Morgan, waiting for him to continue (@Morgan) I have not influenced her decision in this... I have assisted her reasoning. * Faulk nods (@Morgan) You should have told me.. it would've saved a great deal of distress. Please don't put her in that position again (Faulk) Do you understand that you must give her the confidence to fulfil her duties to your lands by herself? (@Morgan) The bigger issue was that she felt trapped, that she could not tell me... had _that_ not been the case, so much could've been avoided. Do you understand that? I see what you are trying to do, but you went about it the wrong way * Faulk inclines his head (Faulk) I understand that the outcome and the intent were not the same thing (@Morgan) We can work together to make her ready. As with other things, we cant work at odds. * Faulk nods (Faulk) It was not my intent to cause odds between you and I. * @Morgan nods (Faulk) I hope there will be no ill-feeling from this (@Morgan) Your acceptance of my view on it has avoided that * Faulk nods (Faulk) I am glad to hear that (@Morgan) Would you care to send for some tea? Knowing what Molly has to say, I suspect you're going to want refreshments * Faulk stands up (Faulk) I have been at prayer a while, I will fetch it myself (@Morgan) Would you prefer to retire to your office? * Faulk nods (Faulk) Let's do that * @Morgan nods, standing, offering Molly his arm (Faulk) **she takes it, looking grateful. She smiles at him* Thank you, liebes herz * @Morgan leads her to the door, intending to take her to the Eisenfursts office * Faulk leads the way to his office (Faulk) **And lets them in before going to the kitchen ** You're now known as Molly * Molly squeezes his arm briefly (Molly) *quiet* are you alright? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) aye (Molly) Good (@Morgan) yourself? * Molly takes a seat, looking around, having not been here before (Molly) Anxious * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) What he's offered isn't enough... what we're asking is a great deal... I won't be surprised if we end up somewhere in the middle * Molly nods (Molly) It reminds me of the awfulness of the negotiations over the Rose with Kai, and how out of my depth I was (@Morgan) The difference here is that he wants you to become successful at it. Kai was simply after money, the untrustworthy toad * Molly smiles a little (Molly) Better he wanted the money and not what you had thought he wanted * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) true * Molly sighs (Molly) I am not even sure where to start with this * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) Given the magnitude of his request, what he offers does not satisfy you... explain why (Molly) Because of everything we would need to give up or change? * @Morgan nods (Molly) We want to make our offer and then go away to consider his counter offer? (@Morgan) Unless his counter offer matches what you would be willing to accept.... though there may be room for improvement (Molly) What would _you_ be willing to accept? (@Morgan) What do you think I would be willing to accept? * Molly frowns a little (Molly) I... I don't know (@Morgan) What would be a suitable common ground to reach? What is advantageous to us all? (Molly) Maubourgs grafdom (@Morgan) What about title? * Molly looks thoughtful (Molly) Anything that outranks your father? * Molly smiles (@Morgan) Remind me what he initially offered (Molly) Duke and Duchess (@Morgan) What do you think? * Molly nods slowly (Molly) I am not opposed to that (@Morgan) So, ask for more but be prepared to settle there? * Molly smirks a little (Molly) I believe that is how negotiations work (@Morgan) So, payments, ships... (Molly) Two thousand a year, three year contract with a three party approval of my replacement as ambassador, first refusal of retaining the contract in the long term, twenty five percent of profits, rights to Impress and draw aid from other flag bearers. You own the ships in your name but Konigsreich encourages build speed? (@Morgan) I think you'll do fine blossom * Molly nods slowly (Molly) You do not think you would do better? (@Morgan) No, I suspect not, but that is not the purpose of his task * Molly nods (Molly) I suppose not. There's all the details of my commitment of time and trips too. I suspect this will be a rough framework with the fine details hammered out by lawyers before it is official * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) get the big items down first, thats generally how its done * Molly nods (Molly) The biggest is simply that we do not take the charter to the court in Avalon (@Morgan) I think the biggest would be your citizenship... its possible it could damage the Hockridge standing but after my uncle dies, I don't think that'll matter (Molly) I was thinking about that. Your citizenship is dual, and you were born in Eisen to an Eisen sire. You are a Veisgraf here. It would probably be hard to argue that your Avalon citizenship is more relevant * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I daresay any hope I had of having the island will be completely shot * Molly frowns (Molly) I am sorry, what?! (@Morgan) I petitioned to have the island off Tawstock signed over to me * Molly looks confused (Molly) Why on Theah...? (@Morgan) The machine was removed, it was just an island (Molly) What did you want an island for? (@Morgan) It could be used as a training school * Molly nods slowly (Molly) I do not think you can manage that, running an ambassador across the oceans, two Grafdoms, a fleet, and nine children... (@Morgan) Indeed. Speaking of the Grafdom... tell me. Is that something I am willing to budge on? * Molly looks at his face, trying to tell * @Morgan is completely neutral (Molly) I would suspect not, because it is a big way in which you can further your deepest ambition, making the world a bit fairer and kinder. * Molly then looks unsure of herself (Molly) Plus, it is a risky situation that could lead to unnecessary suffering for innocent people. Preventing the vacuum would be very good for Eisen. * @Morgan nods slightly (@Morgan) that makes sense (Molly) That is not an answer, liebes herz! (@Morgan) I know. (Molly) You are confusing me. (Molly) Do you not know the answer? (@Morgan) I do. I want you to _tell_ me, not ask me whether or not I'd be willing to move on it (Molly) Why? (@Morgan) Because I'm not going to guide you... he wants you to make those decisions yourself, so you need to know where you are willing to give ground and where you are not. * Molly looks thoughtful (Molly) The Grafdom needs to come to us, as recompense, but also because it benefits and strengthens Eisen. * @Morgan nods * Molly smiles a little (Molly) Now tell me what you want. (@Morgan) exactly that (Molly) Good. (@Morgan) Overseer in place to stop Maubourg running it into the ground, option to dictate changes (Molly) Maubourgs daughter and wife to be treated with decency. (@Morgan) of course (Molly) And if Maubourg is still alive at the end of the three years, he steps down and it comes to yo-... *she squares her shoulders a little* ... Us. * @Morgan nods * Molly glances at the clock (Molly) We have two hours until Varick's tea time, lets see if we can get a framework in place by then * @Morgan nods * Molly glances at him (Molly) I love you, liebes herz.

She lays out the impact on her citizenship, her loyalties, their responsibilities to Innesbruck, Koln and Sudlachenburg, and to their family. Faulk seems to be impressed by this. She sets out an overview of the more extreme versions of what they want, and then one by one they move back and forth to find a common position. * Molly only gives the ground they discussed, and Faulk seems satisfied at the mid point. It is once the basics of their proposed titles of Duke and Duchess are resolved that Morgan gets drawn in to the discussion of the Grafdom ** You're now known as Faulk (Faulk) As you had made manoeuvres in this direction via a marriage, tell my why you want Maubourgs Grafdom of Gottkirchen? *He looks at Morgan* (@Morgan) Several reasons. One being that once Maubourg dies, there will be a power vacuum which could lead to unrest and, in the extreme... a civil war within the koenigsreich... I believe that once he passes, there will be an influx of common people out of Gottkirchen, and having us installed could prevent that. Add to that it gives another region under the sort of ideology that you yourself wish to move forward, meaning there would be no conflict in (@Morgan) that either. * Faulk nods (Faulk) A power vacuum is something we must avoid. I do not want to be the Konigsreich that takes us back to war (@Morgan) We all want the opposite of that (Faulk) We do. However, a big transition of power like this will be difficult for many to accept (@Morgan) That transition is going to come regardless. And our ideals are difficult for many to accept, yet push them we will * Faulk nods (Faulk) What do you propose to do about Gottkirchen being a Vaticine Grafdom? (@Morgan) Obviously given my own views on faith, I'd propose to do as you have here... The people are free to worship as they please in accordance to their faith, and the practical decisions of the Grafdom will be made with a view to the future. I'm not so arrogant to believe my faith is the only or completely correct one. (Faulk) And the structures of supplying financial and medical support will still be done through the vaticine churches, nunneries and monasteries? (@Morgan) I think there is room there for amendment, but I'm not set on it. My drive for change doesn't extend to peoples faith. * Faulk nods (Faulk) Freiarrin Bremen came to me because her new Graf is Objectionist, and her Freiarrdom has always been Vaticine. Her Graf stripped the area of its Vaticine structures and gutted the support the holy mother church has always provided to the common folk. She is left trying to support the people herself with aid, healthcare, and education. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I'd like to make it so that the cost of supporting the people is more evenly shared, but I have no interest in harming anyone's lives, but I think you know that already. (Faulk) Most Eisenfursts would be very unwilling to allow a Grafdom to shift religions. Much as we need to move on, we have spent decades polarised. * @Morgan nods slowly (@Morgan) You are aware, however, that my desire for change comes from a desire to better peoples lives, not dictate how they worship. I'm not interested in removing the the support or dictating the people must change what they believe. I simply wish to make it a fairer system. (Faulk) Yes, I understand that. You approach this for reasons that are not motivated by wealth or glory. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Not my own glory, at least (Faulk) It will not be an easy undertaking (@Morgan) I'd say there's a good chance it'd be easier than dealing with the conflict that breaks out once Maubourg dies * Faulk nods (Faulk) That is one of the most imminent threats to the destabilization of the Konigsreich * @Morgan nods (Faulk) **Molly sips her tea, thoughtful, and he can sense She is thinking about having used the magic to evaluate Maubourgs health when he fainted* (Faulk) The reason for marrying Isiah to Teresa was to bring the area under control... (@Morgan) With respect, given how people not of Vaticine faith are treated within his grafdom, I don't believe it would aid your longer goals (Faulk) No. I have had much to do this summer with rebalancing his Grafdom (Faulk) M: Your Grace, as a physician, I would say that Graf Maubourg is not in any clear and immediate danger of dying. However, a transition period cannot last forever, and at some point we will wish to take the Grafdom we have earned. * Faulk looks at Morgan (Faulk) What do you think? (@Morgan) Given my desire for it, I am hardly likely to disagree. (Faulk) That desire does not lead you to want it immediately? (@Morgan) I'd like the title and it to be known that is whats happening, but given what you are asking of us, and for the sake of stability, it makes most sense to have a timescale in place. We cant fix Eisen in a day. (Faulk) A slower transition will make it easier for the people to be prepared for change (@Morgan) Indeed (@Morgan) But it needs to have a clear end... (Faulk) M: Your Grace, I think we would need to be able to focus on our Grafdom to make it as smooth and stable as possible, and I cannot do that from Capperlucia or the deck of a ship. The only other option would be for me to be split from my husband and son for the twenty weeks a year we have agreed upon me travelling each year * Faulk looks again at Morgan (Faulk) Is that a possibility? (@Morgan) Possible, yes... acceptable? No. (Faulk) You intend to also travel twenty weeks each year? (@Morgan) That would appear to be the alternative (Faulk) M: I propose that the transition period lasts for three years, alongside the contract, at which point Graf Maubourg hands over power to enjoy his last years peacefully with his family. In the meantime, an excellent overseer who will be in frequent contact with us should be installed. * Faulk nods, then looks at Morgan (Faulk) Do you have an overseerer in mind, or would you prefer I find one who aligns with our values? (@Morgan) I have none in mind, perhaps Molly does? (Faulk) **She looks thoughtful* I will think on it. We need to be able to make the big decisions for the area immediately during the transition, and approve any changes Graf Maubourg plans to make. * Faulk nods (Faulk) I have no issues with that. Teresa will be free to marry who she chooses, but she will be unable to pass on the title. (@Morgan) Would her marrying Isiah not help with tempering him? (Faulk) I would rather marry him to a younger woman to produce more heirs for the Konigsreich. I am sure there will be some noble born women suitable. * @Morgan nods slowly (Faulk) It is time for Isiah to grow up. * @Morgan nods (Faulk) M: *she sips her tea to conceal her expression* * Faulk reads through his notes, nodding a little (Faulk) This will take some time to be finalised. I will have Dreschler draw up a draft agreement setting out the bare bones, which I hope he will have ready by the morning. By the end of the week, I will have something more solid to send to you. But I would anticipate it will be October when we are in a position to finalise it. * @Morgan nods, looking at Molly (@Morgan) That sits well with you? (Faulk) I would like the Duke and Duchess titles conferred before then, if that can be done. It is an important gesture that recognises the value the Konigsreich gives to the relinquishment of my citizenship as an Avalon-born woman. (Faulk) M* * Faulk nods slowly (Faulk) I can have that in place by Friday * @Morgan looks at Molly (Faulk) M: *she looks at him, smiling a little* Liebes herz? (@Morgan) Are you satisfied with that? (Faulk) M: *she nods* I am * @Morgan nods * Faulk smiles (Faulk) I will need your itinery for the next few weeks so that missives and documents can find you **she nods** I will provide one as soon as I can * Faulk nods, looking to Morgan (Faulk) Anything else? (@Morgan) Nothing from me, no... blossom? (Faulk) M: Only one, your grace. Morgan and I are a partnership. We work excellently together, and it is in the interests of Eisen for us to do so. I will not be keeping anything from my husband. * Faulk nods (Faulk) I accept that. Now, if you excuse me, I will want to see Dreschler before dinner. **He glances at the clock that reads quarter after four, standing up** (Faulk) **Molly stands likewise, and shakes his hand when it is offered. He then holds out his hand to Morgan* * @Morgan does likewise * Faulk shows them out, wishing them a good afternoon, and says he will see them at dinner. He shuts the door, leaving them alone in the hall * @Morgan takes her hand, leading her away ** You're now known as Molly * Molly squeezes his hand, staying quiet (@Morgan) I'm proud of you * Molly blushes, bowing her head (Molly) Thank you, that means more than you could possibly know * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) what would you like to do now? * Molly looks thoughtful (Molly) Shall we go and talk about it back at the nursery? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) if that is what my beloved wishes, then it shall be so * Molly squeezes his hand again, smiling warmly (Molly) **they get back to the nursery via a quick chat with a servant who tells them fresh coffee has been provided very recently. They get to the door. * Molly keeps her hand in his, opening the door and going in. Marta is sweeping. (Molly) **Marta looks at them a moment, then curtsies** If you will excuse me, my Lord, my Lady, I have some errands to run. I will find Varick and be back at five with him for tea time. (@Morgan) as you wish Marta * Molly lets go of Morgan's hand, letting Marta out before shutting the door behind her. She rests her forehead on the wood a moment (@Morgan) Are you alright blossom? * Molly sighs deeply before turning to him with a smile (Molly) Yes, thank you. Do you want tea, coffee, or something else? * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) sit yourself down, I'll get it * Molly takes off her boots, and sits on the couch * @Morgan pours the tea for her before fetching his own * Molly watches him (Molly) Are you alright, liebes herz? * @Morgan nods sitting beside her * Molly rests her cheek on his upper arm (Molly) Good (@Morgan) you did incredibly well blossom * Molly blushes (Molly) Thank you. It wasn't easy (@Morgan) You made it look as if it were * Molly smiles (Molly) I am pleased you feel so * @Morgan leans back, sipping his tea (Molly) Generally I square my shoulders and bluff through these things with bravado, as you told me to on the Rose initially * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) That works best on men, and I use the term loosely, like Kai (Molly) And what works best on men like you, liebes herz? *she moves away enough to watch him* (@Morgan) Honesty, usually (Molly) Then I shall be very honest and say I'd like you to kiss me now *She smiles* * @Morgan chuckles, moving to do just that * Molly kisses him back briefly (Molly) Thank you. You are happy with this outcome? (@Morgan) Its a good outcome I think (Molly) I am glad. It means several busy years, but you do like to keep busy *she laughs softly* * @Morgan nods * Molly watches him a moment (Molly) Does it disappoint you that we must wait for more children? (@Morgan) A little perhaps, but with any luck the world they will be born into will be better for it * Molly smiles (Molly) They will. And there will be decisions to make when that time comes (@Morgan) Aren't there always * Molly nods (Molly) There is always a choice... * @Morgan nods (Molly) Are you going to discuss it with your father, or wait until things are more settled (@Morgan) I may mention parts of it (Molly) Do you think he will be happy? (@Morgan) Once he gets over the fact he has less ability to boss me about, I'd imagine so (Molly) There will be very, very few who can (@Morgan) It'll be strange being able to say no and actually having the authority to back it up, rather than just my persuasive nature * Molly bites her lip (Molly) Indeed it will * Molly smiles playfully (Molly) I hope you will still take some commands from your Duchess though (@Morgan) I would imagine so... though I trust you will do likewise? * Molly watches his expression, trying to see how playful or serious he is * @Morgan slowly raises an eyebrow * Molly blushes (Molly) I will take whatever you choose to give me... (@Morgan) I'm fairly sure its even more frowned upon to bind a duchess, though * Molly blushes harder, fidgeting in her seat (Molly) I would imagine that would be extremely displeasing to some (@Morgan) Being bound or it being frowned upon... (Molly) A Duchess being bound. I care not whether people frown upon it, only whether you do * @Morgan nods (Molly) And yes, I should imagine the thought of being bound would be unpleasant to most *She bites her lip, then sips her tea* (@Morgan) But not you... * Molly fidgets more, looking at her tea cup as she blushes again (Molly) Definitely not me * @Morgan nods, sipping his tea * Molly glances up at his expression, then breathes out slowly (Molly) We should consider what we are going to do next (@Morgan) Yes... we should * Molly closes her eyes a moment, then relaxes her shoulders (Molly) We still need to go to Freiburg (@Morgan) Yes we do (Molly) And we still need to go to Tawstock * @Morgan nods (Molly) And I would still like to go to Catterick * Molly seems distracted (Molly) And I would imagine you wish to attend Edwards wedding? * @Morgan nods * Molly smiles softly (Molly) But after that... I think we need to go to Capperlucia (@Morgan) I'd say so * Molly takes his hand, resting her cheek on his arm again (Molly) Sun, sans (Molly) Sun, sand, secluded beaches (@Morgan) It'd be terrible if it takes us longer there than we anticipate (Molly) We would need to go and explore the island... get a feel for the place... * @Morgan nods * Molly giggles (Molly) And other things (@Morgan) other things? (Molly) A feel for the place... And each other * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) quite (Molly) Though we would not need to go quite so far for that... (@Morgan) no? * Molly looks up at him, pupils wide (Molly) Not very far at all (@Morgan) Just over there, you're thinking? * Molly looks confused (Molly) Over where? (@Morgan) behind that door * Molly makes a soft noise of arousal (Molly) Oh yes * @Morgan nods * Molly watches him, pausing a moment (Molly) You can always get a feel for me wherever you wish... * @Morgan blushes (@Morgan) given the time, here would be most risky * Molly bites her lip (Molly) Even with hearing as sharp as yours? (@Morgan) I would be rather focussed on other things * Molly nods slowly (Molly) We would need a locked door then... * @Morgan nods, moving away to lock the door * Molly watches him with a hint of surprise but a flush that runs down to her cleavage (@Morgan) assuming, of course, that you wish to... * Molly nods, a tremble running through her (Molly) Urgently. * @Morgan comes to her, kneeling in front of the sofa, running his hands up under her skirts * Molly moans softly at the feel of his hands on her, brows coming together, watching his expression (Molly) *quietly* Wherever you wish, and however you wish, liebes herz, always. * @Morgan pulls her to the edge of the couch (@Morgan) however? * Molly whimpers, breathing fast and shallow, watching him with arousal clear (Molly) Most certainly * @Morgan unbuckles his trousers, pulling her closer * Molly licks her lower lip with excited anticipation, pupils dilating rapidly * @Morgan lines himself up with her, looking into her eyes (@Morgan) you are sure you are ready? * Molly looks back at him fondly (Molly) I have been ready since I woke up this morning... * @Morgan nods slightly, slowly pushing himself into her, gently moving forward until he is completely enveloped by her * Molly makes a long soft moan of what is both pleasure and relief. Within her, her body tightens and relaxes around him, warm and very wet. She doesn't look away. (Molly) Oh dear lord I have missed this beyond measure! * @Morgan nods, withdrawing before pushing gently back against her * Molly reaches up, bringing her hand to his neck and stroking her fingers down it as she makes a soft sigh, clenching tightly where their bodies meet * @Morgan grunts, slowly building a rhythm (Molly) You are afraid you will hurt me? * @Morgan nods * Molly rolls her hips beneath him, grinding up to him, watching him with lust (Molly) You won't. * @Morgan groans, plunging himself into her * Molly moans deeper, still pushing up to him. Her fingers run down his chest. (Molly) You do not need to be cautious, my love * @Morgan nods, placing a hand on the back of her neck and shoving himself into her, repeatedly * Molly looks briefly surprised before looking at him with a wild desire in her eyes. She wriggles a little, tilting her hips in the same way the pillow did, bringing her knees up. The noise she makes is soft and suppressed, and sounds almost like a growl * @Morgan drives himself into her, until with a low moan he buries himself deep, loosing himself within her * Molly tightens firmly around him as her back arches, breath held as the massive intensity of her climax steals all her ability to do anything but cry it out against his shoulder * @Morgan shudders against her * Molly groans softly, muffled words against his shirt (Molly) Oh god how I love you! (@Morgan) and I you blossom * Molly breathes heavily, watching his face with a satisfied smile (Molly) That was amazing * @Morgan nods, slowly withdrawing himself from her (@Morgan) I wished to do more but... I _needed_ to have you * Molly moans softly at this, biting her lip (Molly) I like that * @Morgan nods, sitting back on his feet * Molly fidgets to sitting back up, smiling (Molly) I will always be here and ready to satisfy that need * @Morgan nods, starting to reclasp his trousers * Molly brings her skirts back down from around her hips (Molly) See, no pain at all (@Morgan) Good, I am glad * Molly smiles (Molly) Me too. I do not think I could have borne waiting any longer * @Morgan nods * Molly sighs wistfully, then picks up her tea (Molly) And you? * @Morgan nods * @Morgan picks up his tea (@Morgan) I've been wanting to since yesterday * Molly nods, blushing a little (Molly) I have been desperately hoping the soreness would go away * @Morgan nods (Molly) Not that what you did last night was not also amazing, of course (@Morgan) Its different, though (Molly) It is *she smiles at him* I like to know I have pleased you (@Morgan) It is fairly obvious * Molly tilts her head (Molly) I am not sure you mean that as I have perceived it *She giggles* (@Morgan) oh? * Molly blushes, giggling (Molly) I... uhh... * Molly just moves to kiss his cheek instead of explaining (@Morgan) oh, thats not fair... (Molly) No? How so? * Molly smiles, still blushing (@Morgan) No, I rather wish to know what you meant * Molly grins, more embarassed, covering her face (Molly) I mean... its (Molly) ... it's rather clear (@Morgan) I dont know what you mean (Molly) That I have pleased you... it's quite obvious when that occurs (@Morgan) No, that is what I meant * Molly nods (Molly) I thought perhaps you were thinking more generally * @Morgan grins (@Morgan) No... * Molly giggles (Molly) I wondered that you meant when you were pleased with me, rather than pleased _within_ me * @Morgan laughs (@Morgan) well, that is also true, but no, not what I meant * Molly blushes again (Molly) I rather like that it is obvious * @Morgan nods, sipping his tea (Molly) I mean... Do you with me? I worry that I may be a bit too... obvious (@Morgan) No, I have no complaints in that * Molly looks relieved, then smirks (Molly) I should imagine it would be frowned upon for a Duchess to be so passionate (@Morgan) Thats going to be a shame for those that don't like it, isn't it * Molly nods (Molly) But then they cannot miss what they can never have (@Morgan) true (Molly) And I can assure you, that is not something anyone else will ever get to experience * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) good * Molly sips her tea * Molly watches him (Molly) I think we'd best unlock the door before anyone comes for us * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I was thinking just that (Molly) We wouldn't want anyone getting the right impression * @Morgan stands up, going to unlock the door (@Morgan) No, that'd be scandalous (Molly) Although, the look on your Father's face would be most amusing... * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I do wonder if his head might implode when he hears whats happening (Molly) Between us? (@Morgan) No, though given how prudish he is, that would also be quite entertaining (Molly) He is mostly certainly not the sort that would understand! * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) perhaps * Molly sips the tea (Molly) It is strange to think I have just negotiated a Duchess title and a Grafdom from an Eisenfurst * @Morgan nods (Molly) A year ago, I only knew that Eisen was a place on a map where there was a big War and skilled fighters came from * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) That is still true (Molly) It is. And then you happened, and turned my tiny world upside down *She smiles at him* (@Morgan) that displeases you? * Molly frowns (Molly) Never. (@Morgan) Just as well, given what's occurred since * Molly nods (Molly) My life without you was truly quite tedious (@Morgan) and now its bedlam * Molly smiles (Molly) Now it is thrilling * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) good (Molly) Though I could now tell you something that would displeased you? (@Morgan) you could? (Molly) You are still supposed to be taking questions to the Nieblungen (@Morgan) I know * Molly watches him (Molly) Do you still wish to? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I wonder if you could join me... * Molly smirks a little (Molly) I do like coming with you * @Morgan blushes * Molly then blushes hard (Molly) I've surprised myself by saying that! (@Morgan) so I see (Molly) I did not mean to embarrass you (@Morgan) Not in a bad way blossom, I was just surprised * Molly nods (Molly) Good. I do not know if they will let me join you. Would you wish me to? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I wonder if it would help them, too... they were quite perturbed earlier (Molly) I did not notice * @Morgan nods, sipping his tea (Molly) I was more concerned about you (Molly) They were not at all troubled when I asked them if I could just be alone there a little while * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) they're very enigmatic * Molly nods (Molly) They were distressed that we were at odds? (@Morgan) It seemed so (Molly) That is intriguing, don't you think? (@Morgan) its another intriguing thing about them I doubt I'll ever know the truth about * Molly nods (Molly) But with so much else to think of, so you think it will trouble you for long? (@Morgan) Oh, I think they're going to be on my mind for a long time * Molly smiles (Molly) Like me? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) quite (Molly) Should we go before dinner? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) lets get it done (Molly) Otherwise I shall simply want to curl up satiated in your lap and relax * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) that is tempting * Molly nods (Molly) Incredibly. We should probably wait until after Varick is back before going, I would not wish him to go to bed without seeing us * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Agreed (Molly) So if you would like to perhaps rest for ten minutes, we could? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I think thats a wonderful idea * Molly comes to take his hand (Molly) Bed? (@Morgan) I'm happy just relaxing here with you (Molly) ((Is he still knelt on the floor?)) (@Morgan) ((No, he went and unlocked the door)) * Molly leads him back to the couch (Molly) That is what we will do then ** Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) ** Morgan has joined #7thseaic ** ChanServ sets mode(s) +o Morgan ** Morgan has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) ** You are now disconnected
