The land here is partly forested on the right, and destroyed crop fields on the left. Fighting was bad here between Fischler and Tannen. About halfway to the City of the objectionist academy, it is decided they will rest the horses for an hour and eat in a little clearing in the trees (Molly) **The mercenary leader, who was formally a dame in a dress but now looks every inch a former soldier, is talking Edward. Adalbrecht is helping Molly and Varick arrange all the food from the coach. Claudia, Sorgi and James have taken the horses to a small stream a little further from the road. The mercenaries are also unpacking food. ((Done)) * @Morgan watches the various members of the party quietly (Molly) **he catches some of the conversation between Edward and the mercenary leader: E- I am sure there will be time. My brother enjoys that too *Edward glances in Morgan's direction* * @Morgan raises an eyebrow (Molly) ML- He would be more than welcome to join our circle, of course ** You're now known as Edward * Edward looks {uneasy} nonchalant "i will let him know" (Edward) ML: *he bows before going to sit with his men* * @Morgan watches Edward * Edward walks over to Morgan (Edward) Morgan. (@Morgan) Edward. (Edward) The Brotherhood take ten minutes after breaking for lunch to meditate, and they have said you're welcome to join them (@Morgan) I enjoy that? * Edward frowns (Edward) You told me you liked meditation * @Morgan smiles slightly (@Morgan) was that before I'd slept? * Edward thinks (Edward) Yes (@Morgan) That would explain why it slipped my mind. I think I'll join them * Edward nods. At present the mercenaries are eating lunch, as are Molly, Varick and Adalbrecht (@Morgan) Why were you uneasy? * Edward frowns (Edward) When? (@Morgan) When you were telling him you'd let me know about the meditation... (Edward) I did not want to volunteer you for something you did not want to do * @Morgan nods slowly (@Morgan) Thank you for thinking of me * Edward shrugs a little (Edward) Let's eat ** You're now known as Adalbrecht * @Morgan nods * Adalbrecht and Molly are talking when they get there (Adalbrecht) That is just how it is, Molly (@Morgan) Whats this? (Adalbrecht) M: *she pours what looks to be coffee from a metal canteen* Sending children away to boarding school at twelve. * @Morgan shrugs (@Morgan) That might be how it was... (Adalbrecht) E: *he sits down on a blanket after removing his sword* It is the making of a young man. (@Morgan) Gentlemen, I love and respect you both, so I will save you what is going to be a wasted effort. There's no point arguing with me on this. (Adalbrecht) M: *she glances around the men before sipping her drink, staying quiet* (Adalbrecht) A: *he glances at Morgan* Noble born sons go to the military academies. (@Morgan) And not so long ago, Theus would only be spoken to in a church (Adalbrecht) E: *he frowns deeply, also watching Morgan* Why would you deprive them of the experience? (@Morgan) _IF_ we decide it would be good for him, that is what will happen. I will not simply commit to it because it is how it has always been. (Adalbrecht) **Molly stays neutral as she concentrates on making Varick sit nicely. He is more interested in running off than the grown ups talking* (Adalbrecht) A: *he frowns* We have a few years yet to discuss this. (Adalbrecht) *Molly glances at Morgan a moment, still neutral with the faintest micro expression of displeasure * (@Morgan) As I've said, I respect your opinions, and just as I will not commit to his attending because its always been that way, I am not ruling it out out of hand simply because its what I am expected to do. My wife and I will do what we believe is in the best interests of our son, and that is an end of it. * Adalbrecht nods briefly (Adalbrecht) As you see fit. *he starts eating, frowning slightly * (Adalbrecht) E: I will certainly be sending my sons, if I am granted any, to Tannen at twelve, maybe even ten if they are gifted. (@Morgan) That is of course your choice (Adalbrecht) *Molly pours more cold coffee, offering it to Morgan* * @Morgan takes it, thanking her * Adalbrecht smiles at Edward (Adalbrecht) It is a proud moment, watching your firstborn son enter the gates (Adalbrecht) E: I am looking forward to it. And like when you brought Morgan this way, I will take my younger sons, Theus willing, for the journey. * @Morgan watches them, face slowly slipping into a completely neutral expression * Adalbrecht looks proud in reminisce (Adalbrecht) **Molly watches her husband, sadness creeping in to her own neutrality* (Adalbrecht) The weather was good that summer. The worst of the battles around Tannen hadn't been fought yet. And I watched Morgan go in just as proudly as my father did me, and his father did him. (@Morgan) If you're going to belabour this in the hopes of making me feel guilty, save it. (Adalbrecht) ((What's the tone? Is it angry/snappy, or more long-suffering/bored)) (@Morgan) ((Slightly snappy. Despite how he looks, he's getting pissed)) * Adalbrecht frowns, looking irritated (Adalbrecht) I can not just be recalling how proud I was of you then? (@Morgan) And your father, and your fathers father... think of what you said and how it comes across (Adalbrecht) E: *he watches between them with a sigh. Because of their position, he is making this new conversation through theirs* Molly, how are you feeling today? I hope the travelling is not too wearying? (Adalbrecht) I am not trying to guilt you. You will choose whatever you want for the future Koertig heirs. * @Morgan nods slowly (Adalbrecht) M: *she glances at Adalbrecht then Morgan before looking to Edward* Thank you, Edward. I am enjoying riding again. The _travelling_ is not _wearying_... * Adalbrecht looks at her briefly before concentrating on his lunch, not speaking * @Morgan sips his coffee, watching his father (Adalbrecht) E: *he smiles slightly* You are very competent rider, did you have lessons from very young? (Adalbrecht) *Molly blushes at the compliment before telling Edward that her father and brothers taught her, which leads them into talking about the black stallion she had from nine to fifteen. Adalbrecht becomes interested, and soon forgets that he's at odds with Morgan* (Adalbrecht) *Very soon after, Claudia comes back to see about swapping over the duties of watching the horses so she Sorgi and James can eat, and Molly, Edward and Varick go to replace them. Temporarily, Morgan and Adalbrecht are alone * Adalbrecht lights a cigar (Adalbrecht) If you want to scold me, be quick about it. (@Morgan) You've said that trying to make me feel guilty was not your intention and that you were just reminiscing with pride. I apologise for snapping at you. * Adalbrecht inclines his head (Adalbrecht) I apologise that my intention was not clear. * @Morgan nods (Adalbrecht) **the mercenary leader approaches. His bald head and huge moustache better suit his leather attire than his satin dress did. He looks at Morgan* Veisgraf Koertig, do you want to join us? (@Morgan) If you're sure its not an imposition (Adalbrecht) ML: None at all * @Morgan nods, standing up (@Morgan) lead the way ** You're now known as ML * ML leads him to the other ten mercenaries, all of whom he was introduced to in the sword of redemption. They are all sat on the ground, and there is plenty of space for their leader and Morgan to sit. * ML sits before removing a small red book from his pocket. He looks at Morgan * @Morgan sits (ML) What we usually do is I read a meditation, and then we meditate on it for ten minutes. Then I say the four words that guide us in our daily lives, and the meditation is done. Do not feel you must meditate on it specifically my Lord * @Morgan nods * ML opens it at random, and reads out in Eisen "A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires." * ML and the others close their eyes, quietly relaxing and contemplating * @Morgan smiles slightly, hanging his head and closing his eyes (ML) **It is very peaceful in the sunshine, and he rapidly finds that calmness at his centre * ML breaks the silence after ten minutes with four words as predicted (ML) Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. * @Morgan opens his eyes, looking at the others * ML and the others open their eyes. They all look relaxed and grounded (ML) **he looks to Morgan* Thank you, my Lord *to the others* Thank you, gentlemen. (@Morgan) Thank you gentlemen for allowing me to join you (ML) *they all incline their heads before standing and heading off to tend their horses * @Morgan takes a moment before he stands up, heading back to Molly (ML) **Adalbrecht, Edward, Sorgi, Claudia, and James have all moved their horses back near the carriage, which is where the mercenaries bring their horses. Only Molly and Varick are absent * @Morgan looks around for them as he approaches his father ** You're now known as Adalbrecht * Adalbrecht is watching in the direction of a couple of trees (@Morgan) Father... where are they? * Adalbrecht glances towards the trees * @Morgan looks at him enquiringly (Adalbrecht) Varick wanted to climb before his nap (@Morgan) I see (Adalbrecht) **Everyone else is now waiting on them too * @Morgan nods slightly before walking off towards the trees ** You're now known as Molly * Molly is helping Varick down the last bit. She has her skirt over her arm, now in just the trousers she had altered the previous day * Molly smiles at Morgan (Molly) Are you ready to go? (@Morgan) Waiting on you and our young man * Molly comes over, holding Varick's hand. She speaks quietly (Molly) Are you well? * @Morgan nods * Molly heads towards the coach ((attention?)) (@Morgan) ((varick)) (Molly) **he looks happy but ready for his nap** * Molly speaks very quietly (Molly) Anyone would think I had appeared ¥naked¥... (@Morgan) the trousers? * Molly nods, watching the others (Molly) Indeed (@Morgan) oh well... (Molly) ¥it's an interesting combination of angry and admiring...¥ * @Morgan nods * Molly watches him a moment, checking his expression * @Morgan looks calm (Molly) I didn't expect it from her though (@Morgan) Claudia? * Molly frowns a little, looking a little unsure of herself before squaring her shoulders (Molly) Yes (@Morgan) She's... complicated * Molly nods (Molly) I will take Varick in the carriage for his nap, and probably take one too, if that suits you? (@Morgan) If you wish blossom * Molly smiles a little (Molly) What do _you_ wish, liebling? * @Morgan shrugs * Molly gets in the carriage with Varick (Molly) **They wait til Morgan is saddled and ready before setting off. They day is still fine with the sky promising more of the same (Molly) **An hour passes like this, and then Molly and Varick are awake again. Varick asks to ride with Sorgi so he can ask him some questions about captaining a ship. Molly mounting up drew multiple glances from various people, and she now rides astride as she prefers. Adalbrecht and Edward are talking quietly towards the beginning of the group * Molly smiles warmly at him (Molly) This is so much better * @Morgan nods, taking a crested dagger from his coat and handing it to her (@Morgan) I think you can have this back * Molly takes it (Molly) Thank you, I have missed it * Molly looks to the road ahead (Molly) You will let me ride fast shortly? (@Morgan) If you are sure you're ok to * Molly nods (Molly) Definitely. I am very capable of taking care of myself (@Morgan) I know that blossom, I was more thinking that it might be too soon * Molly watches him a moment (Molly) You have come through this with a deeper level of concern than I have seen before, liebes herz * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) My understanding is that you are not completely out of the woods... (Molly) I am fine, liebling. Greatly as I appreciate the concern, I would not wish that anxiety on you * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) If you feel you are ready blossom, I will be guided by you (Molly) I appreciate that. But you would be happier if I wait until tomorrow? (@Morgan) If you tell me you're fine, I believe that * Molly nods (Molly) Do you wish to come with me? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) we need to tell them what we're doing, and I could do with giving father his dagger back * Molly looks surprised (Molly) You took his? (@Morgan) He lost it before he arrived here * Molly frowns deeply (Molly) I see. That is displeasing. (@Morgan) Thats more or less what I said (Molly) I would have liked to think he would take care of something with sentimental value. * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I know * Molly eases her horse forward to come up level with Adalbrecht * @Morgan pulls up alongside them (Molly) **Adalbrecht looks flustered, and is clearly trying very hard not to look at Molly's legs. Edward is frowning a little (@Morgan) Get over it gentlemen... Father, I have something for you (Molly) **Adalbrecht frowns at Morgan "what is it?" (Molly) E: *he frowns deeper, but says nothing* * @Morgan takes the dagger out, handing it over (Molly) A: *he smiles a little* Thank you (@Morgan) You owe Yensid ten guilders (Molly) A: *he winces* I will get it to him * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) he found someone trying to sell it after they found it (Molly) A: Not someone very smart, it seems. Lucky they were not * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) Try to take better care of it this time (Molly) *Adalbrecht nods* I will * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) we're going to blow some cobwebs away * Molly glances at both men a moment before smiling to herself (Molly) A: *he nods again* be careful * @Morgan nods * Molly glances at Morgan with a smile (Molly) Ready? * @Morgan nods, murmuring quietly to the horse * Molly urges her horse on, rapidly gathering speed * @Morgan follows suit * Molly waits til he's level before pointing to a tree quite a way down the clear flat path (Molly) Race? * @Morgan nods (Molly) Okay, go! * @Morgan drives the horse into a gallop * Molly gets her horse to full gallop immediately. Both horses are really fast, faster than Xantha by a little. She wins, but barely, simply down to being lighter * Molly laughs, looking cheerful and more relaxed. She slows a little to stop the horse from tiring as rapidly (Molly) That was fun, liebling * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) yes... yes it was (Molly) Do you think they are going to sulk about my trousers all day? * Molly giggles (@Morgan) Probably tomorrow too * Molly rolls her eyes (Molly) I won't give in. The only man here I will give in to is you * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) good (Molly) You like my trousers, liebes herz? * Molly smiles (@Morgan) They're practical (Molly) In most ways, yes * @Morgan nods * Molly watches him a moment before blushing and looking away (Molly) What were you doing with the mercenaries? (@Morgan) meditating (Molly) I... I don't know what that is * Molly looks a little embarassed at admitting this (@Morgan) In this case its quiet contemplation of the verse they read, seemingly at random (Molly) Oh so it is like praying? (@Morgan) sort of, I suppose, but its just you... (Molly) Not you _and_ Theus? (@Morgan) No... just me * Molly looks intrigued (Molly) What was the verse? (@Morgan) "A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires. * Molly nods slowly (Molly) Interesting... * @Morgan nods (Molly) I can see why that would appeal to you * @Morgan nods * Molly continues to ride quite fast, clearly thinking on this for a minute or two (Molly) I wonder where it comes from (@Morgan) His book... we can ask when we return (Molly) It sounds a little complex and like high learning for me... * @Morgan glances at her (@Morgan) I think not * Molly shrugs (Molly) There were some books a bit like that in Lady Torringtons library that I think were her father's. They were too complex and abstract for me (@Morgan) Blossom you have one of the most brilliant minds I have ever encountered * Molly blushes hard (Molly) Thank you (Molly) Some would say that is impossible, you know? (@Morgan) What? (Molly) That a woman, especially a common born woman, could have a brilliant mind (@Morgan) most would be wrong (Molly) I am touched though * @Morgan mutters * Molly watches him enquiringly (@Morgan) Not as often as I'd like * Molly giggles (Molly) That is entirely down to you, Mon petit chou. Touch me as and when you please. (@Morgan) I think the scandal would be too much right now * Molly smirks (Molly) I think the speed would be too much right now * @Morgan raises an eyebrow (@Morgan) in what way (Molly) It would be very difficult to easily touch me on very fast horses * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) indeed * Molly frowns briefly (Molly) What did you think I might have meant? (@Morgan) I don't know blossom (Molly) There is plenty of subtle mischief I suspect I could get up to were we sharing a horse *she giggles* (@Morgan) Yes, I suspect you are correct there * Molly glances at his expression a moment * @Morgan watches her intently * Molly blushes, biting her lip (Molly) Badly as I wish to do all manner of things with you right now, I suspect you will feel it too risky... * Molly takes a turn to watch him intently * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I think so blossom * Molly sighs dramatically (Molly) Well that spoils all manner of my current fantasies *she giggles* * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) sadly so blossom (Molly) No trees... no long grass... no streams... *she gives him a look of mischief* * @Morgan smiles, blushing (Molly) No sitting in front of you so you can run your hands over my new trousers like this *she slowly runs one hand from her knee up to her hip, watching his expression, clearly enjoying teasing him* * @Morgan raises an eyebrow (mads_) I rather prefer running my hands over your skin... * Molly Makes a sudden noise of both surprise and desire at this, and he can see her thighs tighten against the saddle. She watches him, looking a little breathless (Molly) You do? * mads_ nods * Molly smiles, blushing (Molly) I rather like to hear that ** mads_ is now known as Morgan ** ChanServ sets mode(s) +o Morgan (Molly) Trousers are most impractical for that * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) but more practical for what you currently require * Molly smirks (Molly) That depends upon what you assume I currently require, I think (@Morgan) well, not right _now_ but for the remainder of the day, they're more practical (Molly) For the remainder of the day, yes... * Molly looks thoughtful, very distracted * @Morgan looks around (Molly) **There's no-one to be seen in either direction, still ruined fields to the left and trees to the right. Given the horses speed and how they have ridden, they're likely ten minutes ahead of the others. It's warm and pleasant still * Molly snaps out of her day dreaming at seeing him look around (Molly) Is everything alright, liebling? (@Morgan) Force of habit blossom * Molly nods (Molly) I ought to be more vigilant * Molly looks around too, also seeing no-one (Molly) It does not seem dangerous here (@Morgan) No, it doesn't * Molly smiles a little (Molly) That is good * Molly watches him a moment, trying to read him (@Morgan) I daresay we've got about ten minutes before the rest of them reach us * Molly nods slowly, looking confused (Molly) I would imagine so, but only if we stop (@Morgan) I wonder what we could get up to in that time... * Molly blushes, fidgeting (Molly) I... ummm.... * Molly exhales slowly (Molly) We could make that fifteen for a quick gallop * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) indeed * Molly watches him a moment * Molly appears to be trying to establish his enthusiasm (@Morgan) unless you don't wish to, of course * Molly looks surprised, then smiles, urging her horse into a sprint * @Morgan nudges his horse into the same (Molly) **It takes only a few minutes at that speed to buy them extra time, and to reach a conveniently dense area of trees on the right hand side of the road. She indicates it by slowing and moving her horse towards it * @Morgan follows her * Molly dismounts, throwing her reins over a strong branch to secure the horse before standing still and watching him * @Morgan dismounts, tying his horses reins to the same branch before moving towards her * Molly giggles, biting her lip, before disappearing between the trees playfully * @Morgan chases her * Molly hears his movements, and the giggling increases. She hides behind a tree, the adrenaline rushing through her, breathing fast and shallow * @Morgan thrashes his way through the branches * Molly giggles to herself, and he can hear the faint noise of moving fabric * @Morgan slows down, not creeping, but not thrashing about * Molly listens closer, shrugging her arms out of the sleeves of her shirt * @Morgan moves around a tree trying to find her * Molly wriggles the corset a little lower so that she can get her breasts out over the top edge of it. Then she covers them with her arms, a little noise of surprise at how near to her tree he is * @Morgan stops (@Morgan) I cant take you if I cant find you * Molly 's soft moan of arousal gives her away, and she is obviously behind the tree he's in front of (Molly) Then you must come and capture your prize, my Lord * @Morgan moves around the tree * Molly looks at him with very wide pupils, arms and shoulders and breasts bared with a surprising confidence and amusement (Molly) You have found me... * @Morgan nods, looking her over briefly before moving quickly and attacking her throat and collarbone with kisses * Molly moans, running her fingers down his back. She boldly moves her trouser- clad thigh between his legs, applying a careful pressure to his crotch * @Morgan grunts, moving a hand to squeeze her breasts * Molly arches her back in a subtle begging for more, making quiet rhythmic sighs of pleasure * @Morgan moves his mouth to her nipple, using his now free hand to roam between her legs * Molly moans loudly at this, and the fabric itself is already damp here. She brings her hand down his chest, down his stomach * @Morgan grabs her hands, moving them above her head and holding her wrists against the tree before pulling at her trousers * Molly shudders hard, breath catching, watching him with an expression that becomes full of submissive anticipation. The waist is a drawstring, very similar to the rope in his coat pocket. She watches his expression closely * @Morgan undoes the string, shoving the trousers downwards before undoing his own trousers * Molly tilts her hips to make it easier for the trousers to drop to the ground, now bare everywhere but the corset with the shirt hanging out, and her knee high boots. She blushes, nodding, but says nothing * @Morgan hesitates a moment before lifting her leg and placing his manhood against her * Molly watches him with eagerness. She tries to wriggle against him so that she can impale herself upon his erection, but cannot manage it. She makes a soft noise of desperation, looking pleadingly into his eyes * @Morgan watches her for just a second before driving himself into her as deep as he can * Molly moans deeply, angling her to get him even deeper. Her brows come together, pupils hugely dilated. She quietly murmurs "Thank you" (Molly) Hips* * @Morgan moans gutturally before moving to a fast pace, holding her in place and pounding into her * Molly 's orgasm is almost instantaneous, her passionate cries are quite loud and impossible for her to suppress. Her core wraps him in a hot slick grip, squeezing him tightly. She manages, barely, to keep her eyes open and on his as the intense pleasure assails her senses * @Morgan drives into her savagely until he slows, growling before loosing his seed within her * Molly peaks again at the sheer arousal of his climax, quieter this time but her whole body tightening as she clamps around his girth * @Morgan holds still, kissing her deeply * Molly kisses him back, stroking his tongue with hers, softly moaning against his mouth as the last of the intensity of her orgasm dissipates * @Morgan lets go of her wrists, backing up slightly * Molly watches him with a smile and a deep peace in her expression * @Morgan does his trousers up before helping her back into hers (@Morgan) I have to ask... what were you nodding at? * Molly rolls out her shoulders a moment, trying to recall (Molly) I wanted you to know that even though you were holding my wrists, I wanted it... *she watches his expression* * @Morgan nods (Molly) I suppose I needed to reassure you that it was okay to hold me like that (@Morgan) That makes sense (Molly) Was my nodding why you hesitated? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I was concerned you were reassuring yourself you wanted to * Molly frowns a little (Molly) I would never do that. If I am not utterly sure, I will tell you. * @Morgan nods (Molly) I would hope that you would do the same? * Molly rolls out her wrists in circles before flexing them * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I didn't hurt you did I? (Molly) No, you didn't. *Molly looks like she might continue but doesn't* * Molly looks at the faint bark lines on the back of her hands with a smile (@Morgan) but... * Molly shrugs a little, voice quiet (Molly) I wouldn't have minded anyway * @Morgan blushes * Molly looks intrigued (Molly) You're blushing... * @Morgan nods * Molly ties the drawstring on her trousers (Molly) Can you tell me why? (@Morgan) I'm not entirely sure why... something about the idea that you wouldn't have minded... * Molly nods slowly (Molly) You are not displeased by that? * @Morgan shakes his head (@Morgan) No * Molly smiles (Molly) Good. I am not afraid of getting a little hurt... (@Morgan) no? * Molly blushes a little now (Molly) I believe I mentioned it the night when Jacques showed us the Porte variant... Though you had drunk quite a bit of Blokners... (@Morgan) I'm afraid I don't recall * Molly nods, putting her arms back in her shirt (Molly) I am not surprised, it was rather stressful (@Morgan) Perhaps you would... mention it again? * Molly glances at him (Molly) I ummm... I said I wanted you to make love to me roughly, and that I have always been curious about mixing pleasure and pain... *she develops a suddenly focused interest on redressing, blushing and not meeting his gaze* * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) perhaps we will address _that_ at some point in the future too * Molly shrugs a little, doing up her buttons (Molly) I am more than happy with what we do now, liebling (@Morgan) You no longer wish to? (Molly) Wish to what? (@Morgan) mix pleasure and pain... * Molly blushes (Molly) It's... I mean... I do... but I worry that these things are just too unconvential, too... unusual for you (@Morgan) It is a journey we will be taking together blossom... I'm willing to try. * Molly nods slowly (Molly) I appreciate that, liebling. I just do not wish you to feel you must, or that you will disappoint me if you do not * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) understood duchess * @Morgan smiles * Molly giggles (Molly) You are already rather excellent at love making, your Excellency * @Morgan bows his head (@Morgan) why thank you (@Morgan) We should get ourselves tidied before the rest of them arrive * MollyK nods, running her hands over her hair to check it is passable (MollyK) My hair style isn't ruined like I had imagined it was going to be * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) I'll have to try harder next time * MollyK giggles (MollyK) Next time I will do the particular thing that usually has your hands all up in my hair * @Morgan nods * MollyK comes to him, briefly kissing his lips (MollyK) I am always at your disposal, my dear Duke (@Morgan) Lets get back to the horses blossom * MollyK heads that way, smiling * @Morgan follows her (MollyK) I suppose if your Father complains about you not sending the Koertig heirs away to school we could tell him that we got in some practise on making them against a tree at the side of the road... * MollyK watches him with amused teasing * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) that would indeed shut him up (MollyK) For at least a few seconds until the shouting started * MollyK takes his hand in hers with a smile (@Morgan) aye (MollyK) And then Edward would tell us that Mina would never do such a thing! * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) absolutely (MollyK) Isn't it lucky you didn't marry her instead, Mon petit chou? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) very * MollyK squeezes his hand (MollyK) And most certainly lucky that I didn't marry a man like Edward * @Morgan nods * MollyK glances at him (MollyK) I would certainly not have tolerated a long history of mistresses and brothel girls. (@Morgan) Its not as long as you might imagine (MollyK) You mean Edwards history? (@Morgan) of mistresses and brothels * MollyK frowns (MollyK) I suppose so * @Morgan shakes his head (@Morgan) He gave up on all that (MollyK) I should hope he has since becoming betrothed (@Morgan) Before that * MollyK looks intrigued (MollyK) When he came to speak to your Father about helping him? (@Morgan) Back in December time, when he saw her at court * MollyK looks surprised (MollyK) That is quite a while ago. Had he decided he was going to try to win over her father then? (@Morgan) No... He wanted Mina and only Mina * MollyK nods slowly (MollyK) Do men frequently talk about... intimacies? (@Morgan) some might (MollyK) But not you? (@Morgan) No * MollyK looks thoughtful (MollyK) That's good... Though I suppose I wouldn't mind if it was all positive, perhaps even a little boastful *she giggles* * @Morgan laughs (@Morgan) it would be, were I that way inclined * MollyK flushes a little, grinning (MollyK) I am glad you think I am worth boasting about (@Morgan) Of course * MollyK glances at him with mischief (MollyK) Are you ready to tell me the improper thing that made Edward embarrassed yet? (@Morgan) No, I don't think so, not yet * MollyK laughs softly (MollyK) You aren't going to make me earn it...? (@Morgan) I might be * MollyK shrugs playfully as she gets her horse reins down (MollyK) There's nothing you could ask me to do for you that I would not do just for the joy of pleasing you, liebes herz (@Morgan) I'll remind you of that in future, no doubt (MollyK) We shall see, liebes herz... *she climbs back into the saddle, and frowns slightly (MollyK) Cold, damp fabric (@Morgan) hmm? * @Morgan hauls himself back onto the horse (MollyK) It doesn't matter. Shall we ride back to them a little so they do not guess about the wonderful thing that just happened? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) best had I suppose * MollyK nods (MollyK) A race then? Winner gets to pick their prize next time there is a mutual desire? * @Morgan nods (@Morgan) very well * MollyK looks pleased, and waits til they are level on the road before saying Go! And riding off at full speed back the way they came, laughing as she rides * @Morgan urges his horse into a sprint (MollyK) **Its a very close call, but his tactics means she wins, cheered by the rest of their party. She winks at Morgan, speaking quietly* I hope you'll be feeling brave and open-minded! * @Morgan smiles ** You are now disconnected ------------------------------ Logging started for Blitzed:#7thseaic on Saturday, 24 October 2020 04:36:59 British Summer Time ------------------------------ ** You have joined #7thseaic ** cantillon.be.eu.blitzed.org sets mode(s) +nt ** ChanServ sets mode(s) -o Molly ** mads_ has joined #7thseaic ** mads_ has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
