(Molly) *The worshippers file out, generally chatting in groups cheerfully, making their way either inland or towards the port and the fishing cottages. Nothing seems out of place, and there's no-one who looks to be higher status than gentry. Claudia watches them all*
* @Morgan does the same
* Molly looks to Morgan
(Molly) Shall we go in?
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) **Aside from a few curious glances, none of the parishoners look interested, and by the time they have tied up the horses  there's no-one to see. Claudia looks around, then comes to Morgan "What do you want me to do?"
(@Morgan) Be ready... the usual
(Molly) C: *she nods* Expecting trouble?
(@Morgan) No more than normally
(Molly) C: Keep people out?
(@Morgan) I don't think that'll be an issue
(Molly) C: *She nods*
* Molly comes to Morgan, smiling
(Molly) Shall we?
* @Morgan nods
* Molly waits for him to lead the way
* @Morgan walks into the church
(Molly) *They get inside without issue. Its very quiet. Inside the church is pretty but plain, with one large stained glass window at each end. The priest appears to be tidying away the kneeling pads. He's tall but not strikingly so, looks fit and able, a strong jaw line and grey hair.
(Molly) **he hasn't noticed them
* @Morgan clears his throat
(Molly) *He turns and smiles, looking them over. He obviously notices Molly's objectionist cross* Good morning. Service has finished but I can still give you communion if you wish?
(@Morgan) We're more hoping for some... information
** You're now known as Priest
* Priest looks relaxed, coming to them
(Priest) How can I help?
(@Morgan) I'm trying to find out who someone is
* Priest frowns slightly
(Priest) Alright?
* @Morgan pulls out the drawing
* Priest looks at it a moment, then looks at Morgan
(Priest) Who are you?
(@Morgan) So you know him...
(Priest) Yes, I di
(Priest) Do*
(@Morgan) and you want to know who I am because you have a drive to protect a local...
* Priest takes a quick glance at how armed Morgan looks
(Priest) Something like that, yes
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I can appreciate that... 
* Priest steps back slightly
(Priest) Who are you and why do you want to know?
* @Morgan sighs
(@Morgan) You'll have no trouble from me father, I come prepared but not anticipating trouble... you understand?
* Priest nods a little
(Priest) Is he in danger from you?
(@Morgan) Currently, no... I've met him a few times 
* Priest nods a little
(Priest) I don't want him harmed
(@Morgan) Assuming he doesn't try to harm my wife, I have no intention of harming him. I just want answers
* Priest shakes his head
(Priest) He wouldn't harm a woman
(@Morgan) Thats the impression I got from him, but recent events have made me... wary
(Priest) When did you last see him?
(@Morgan) April, in Avalon
* Priest looks surprised
(Priest) I didn't know he was travelling that far
(@Morgan) who is he?
(Priest) My son
(Priest) **Molly glances at Morgan, surprised, but says nothing*
(@Morgan) Literally or in the way that I am?
* Priest smiles
(Priest) Literally. His mother and I were blessed with him after having four daughters
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) is there somewhere we can speak more comfortably? Perhaps with coffee?
(Priest) If you wish to walk into the village, yes.
* @Morgan smiles slightly
(@Morgan) I suppose you're as comfortable here as anywhere
(Priest) It's like my second home. But I don't mind taking you to the rectory
* @Morgan shakes his head
(@Morgan) No, here is fine
* Priest gestures to the pews
(Priest) **Molly takes a seat. The priest sits one row ahead, turned so he can see them
* @Morgan sits beside Molly
(@Morgan) Why is he claiming to be someone he is not?
* Priest shrugs
(Priest) That's what his work requires of him, I suppose. He did not go by the name Kristian when you met him?
(@Morgan) Neither time... what is his work?
(Priest) He works from my sister-in-laws husband
(@Morgan) doing?
* Priest shrugs again
(Priest) Whatever the Duke requires
(@Morgan) the duke...
(Priest) Yes, my sister-in-laws husband is Duke Ascania von Anhalt-Duessa
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I see
(Priest) Kristian was well when you last see him?
(@Morgan) Fine... you have not heard from him?
(Priest) He writes, but it's better to know from someone who has seen him
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) he was very well when I last saw him.... what did he do during the war?
(Priest) He was a bit young to be in the War, he was a page to his cousin at the time and living in Duessa with the Duke and Duchess
(@Morgan) I met him in a vaticine strong hold... he was pretending to be vaticine
* Priest frowns
(Priest) That's dangerous
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) very
(Priest) How near to the end of the War? **that was Aug 64, the truce was December 64*
(@Morgan) the august before it ended
(Priest) Kit was only sixteen then
(@Morgan) Kit?
(Priest) That's what Katharina and I usually call him. Kit, short for Kristian.
* @Morgan nods
(Priest) I am surprised at the Duke and Duchess letting him do something so dangerous
(@Morgan) Why would they have him embedded in a mercenary band pretending to be someone else now?
* Priest frowns
(Priest) I have no idea
(@Morgan) Its sounding like I'll have to talk with the Duke
(Priest) It does sound dangerous, but Kit is quite capable of handling himself. He did well at the Academy in Ludwig ((this is the second most respected objectionist noble military school in Eisen))
(Priest) **Molly glances at Morgan with a slight frown* [I thought only noble-born children could go to the Academies?]
(@Morgan) How did he go to the academy?
* Priest smiles
(Priest) Though my family, the Eisleblens, are nothing notable, his mother is Lady Katharina Duessa, sister to Duchess Anneliese Ascania von Anhalt-Duessa
(@Morgan) I see
(Priest) She wasn't a Duchess when he went to Ludwig, mind you. That came later, after the War. The Duke is a very firm favourite of the Eisenfurstin.
* @Morgan nods
(Priest) If you want to find the Duke, he's probably in Posen
* @Morgan sighs
(@Morgan) too far out of my way unfortunately
(Priest) 35 miles on horseback  so a full day. If you were sailing, it's about an hour or two on horseback from the nearest port
(@Morgan) Unfortunately its back the way we came and not a delay we can accommodate 
(@Morgan) Now that might be doable
(Priest) He's not a man prone to giving answers,  I'm afraid
(@Morgan) we can but ask
(Priest) **The door opens, and a woman enters as Claudia holds the door open. She gestures ::priest's wife::
* @Morgan stands up
(Priest) **The woman is very simply dressed, and has a broom. She has all the marks of aristocracy in her facial features, but she's carrying a broom. She looks to her husband* I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
(Priest) **Molly and the priest do likewise. He holds out his hand hand to her, and she comes to his side.* No need to apologise, my dear. This gentleman knows Kit.
(Priest) **The woman looks at Morgan, polite but intrigued* How do you know my son,  sir?
(@Morgan) We've met a few times in various places
* Priest looks at Morgan
(Priest) I didn't catch your name
(@Morgan) Thats because I didn't throw it... my names Morgan
(Priest) Mr Morgan, may I present my wife, Lady Katharina Duessa...
(@Morgan) A pleasure, but Morgans my first name... 
(Priest) *She
(Priest) K: Frau Eisleblen, please. I prefer it.
* Priest looks at Morgan and his reaction
(@Morgan) If that is your preference, of course
(Priest) And your family name?
(@Morgan) Koertig
* Priest and his wife look at each other with surprise
* Priest nods and she curtsies
(@Morgan) infamous as ever
(Priest) My Lord... *He looks to Molly, waiting for her to be introduced *
(@Morgan) My wife, Molly... 
(Priest) **She curtsies to them**
(Priest) K: You have news of my son, my Lord?
(@Morgan) Morgan, please... I last saw him in april
(Priest) K: And he was well?
(@Morgan) Well, charming and funny
(Priest) **They both look very proud*
(Priest) K: What brings you to Anhalt?
(@Morgan) Your son.... as I was explaining to your husband, I've met him a few times but using other names... I've been trying to find out who he _actually_ is
(Priest) K: He does a lot of travelling for my brother in law Anthony
* @Morgan nods
(Priest) K: He is not here I am afraid
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I think I need to speak with your brother in law
(Priest) K: He'll be in Freiburg tomorrow I would think. They never miss the opening of the Freiburg winter court session, and it's always the second Monday in September
* Priest nods  "I'd forgotten about that"
(@Morgan) I think you've just saved us another stop before Freiburg
(Priest) K: You are going to the ball, my Lord?
(Priest) ((Attention?))
(@Morgan) ((Frau Eisleben))
(Priest) K: *She looks relaxed,  there's no subtext here*
(@Morgan) We weren't, but I suspect we will be now
(Priest) K:*She smiles* I'm sure you'll have a lovely time
* @Morgan looks at Molly
(@Morgan) is there anything you wish to ask blossom?
(Priest) *She asks Katharina about the dress codes and invitations and where to go, and then says to Morgan "I think that's all"
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) its been a pleasure meeting you both
(Priest) **farewells are exchanged,  and the Eisleblens get on with cleaning their little church. The air outside is fresh and breezy, the wind pulling at Molly's skirts as she said it had in her dream about not-Kurt arranging a marriage for them here.
** You're now known as Molly
(Molly) **Claudia comes to Morgan* All done?
(@Morgan) as done as it can be
(Molly) C: *she laughs* Sounds frustrating
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) it is
(Molly) **Molly is looking around, smiling a little*
(Molly) **Claudia mounts up*
* @Morgan helps Molly up
* Molly smiles warmly
(Molly) Thank you
* Molly speaks quietly
(Molly) It's an interesting  thing, being here when I have the dream memories of having gotten married here by that priest
* @Morgan nods, hauling himself into the saddle
(@Morgan) very very odd
* Molly walks her horse on
(Molly) I think we will need to spend the time when Varick is napping talking this over
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) that makes sense
(Molly) **They make much quicker work back down to the port. They can hear a group of men singing together when they return the horses. He can see Sorgi and one of the crew loading a couple of small crates onto the Rose
* Molly brushes off her skirt, watching what Morgan's paying attention to
* @Morgan is surveying the dock
(Molly) **It's not much busier. The singers are a group of twelve youngish men. They're dressed like sailors, but he spots more concealed weapons than would be expected
(Molly) **Claudia is also watching them*
* @Morgan speaks quietly
(@Morgan) We need to get Molly back on board quickly and get word to Sorgi about this lot
(Molly) **Claudia nods, getting Molly's attention and walking her back to the ship. The men barely even look. They seem to be busking, paying more attention to the occasional dock user who drops coins in their hat
** You're now known as Sorgi
* Sorgi comes over to Morgan, watching them
(Sorgi) M'Lord?
(@Morgan) Awful lot of weaponry for buskers
* Sorgi nods
(Sorgi) Mercenaries?
(@Morgan) I'd say so
(Sorgi) They're good though.
(@Morgan) No denying that
(Sorgi) **They start singing Following The Drum, as Molly had learnt from dreaming it on Saturday night*
(Sorgi) **This seems to draw more coins to their hat. Sorgi watches Morgan* I haven't heard this in years
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) its not a common thing to hear
* Sorgi smiles
(Sorgi) Takes me back.
(Sorgi) **They get to the end of the song, taking a break. One young man seems to have been put in charge of counting the money, and they've all dispersed a little whilst he does
* Sorgi watches Morgan
(Sorgi) Are you ready, or do you have some curiosity to satisfy, m'Lord?
(Sorgi) **Claudia comes back to Morgan, still watching*
(@Morgan) I don't know yet
(Sorgi) Do you need me, or shall I get us ready to set sail?
(@Morgan) Get us ready
(Sorgi) **Sorgi goes. The group come back together and seem to be having a serious conversation, stood in a little circle.
** You're now known as Claudia
(Claudia) What do you think?
(@Morgan) I'm not sure yet... its a good disguise
(Claudia) Want me to go and speak to them?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) be careful
* Claudia goes over. She hands them some coins, engaging them in conversation. She does this a couple of minutes before coming back to Morgan
(Claudia) Mercenaries. Their ship was arsoned here four weeks ago. They're trying to get the money together for passage back to Freiburg.
(@Morgan) Another arsoned ship...
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) Sounds like a similar scenario. Arsonist escaped. No one was killed.
* Claudia glances at him
(Claudia) The enemy of my enemy...?
* @Morgan nods slightly
(@Morgan) assuming its the same group
(Claudia) What are you going to do?
* @Morgan rolls his shoulders before striding towards the group
(Claudia) **They seem fairly jovial, all inclining their heads politely*
** You're now known as Man
(Man) A song request, squire?
(@Morgan) Who's your commander?
(Man) I am
(@Morgan) I understand your ship was set alight
* Man nods grimly
(Man) Indeed she was
(@Morgan) What was her name?
(Man) The Lady's Favour
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) any suspects?
* Man shakes his head
(Man) None at all
(@Morgan) Any companies you're in competition with?
(Man) We're mostly all in competition really
(@Morgan) None that stick out in your mind?
* Man shrugs, listing several, one of them is the schwert von dornen company
(@Morgan) I know of two that Colonel Dau is responsible for...it seems to be a technique he employs regularly 
* Man nods a little
(Man) Could be
(@Morgan) you are still short of your fare for passage?
* Man nods
(Man) It's not cheap for twelve of us, but we don't sing too badly, and we'll get there in the end
(@Morgan) Whats in Freiburg for you?
(Man) There are other ships in our company, that's where our base is
* @Morgan nods thoughtfully
* Man moves slightly aside from the others as they begin singing again
(Man) Anything else I can help you with?
(@Morgan) How about something of a trade
(Man) Oh?
(@Morgan) Colonel Dau is wanted by authorities. If you encounter him, grab hold of him so he can be tried... 
* Man nods
(Man) For?
(@Morgan) I'll wave whats left of the fare to get you all to Frieburg
* Man nods
(Man) That sounds good *he holds out his hand*
* @Morgan shakes it
(Man) Which ship is yours?
* @Morgan nods at the Rose
* Man looks impressed
(Man) We can be ready in ten minutes, is that alright?
(@Morgan) I will want your weapons locked away... 
* Man nods
(Man) No problem
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) we'll be waiting then
* Man thanks him, going over to the others. They all look pleased and head to the little inn on the docks. Claudia comes over to Morgan
** You're now known as Claudia
(Claudia) They're coming with us?
* @Morgan nods
(Claudia) Maybe one of them will be annoying enough for a fist to the face
* Claudia grins
(@Morgan) we can hope I suppose
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) Best tell Sorgi to get some beds made then
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) aye
* Claudia walks towards the ship. She's humming Following The Drum
* @Morgan follows her

(Molly) **The organising for their twelve passengers is smooth, and soon they're all underway, with one more night on the water before Freiburg. Lunch time is busy and the passengers entertain the crew with singing. They seem perfectly happy without carrying their weapons.
(Molly) Everything is going well by the time it's Varick's nap time and Morgan has tea ready on the couch so he and Molly can spend their customary hour together.
(Molly) **She kicks off her boots, making herself comfortable* So, mein Sehnsucht, where to start?
* @Morgan shrugs
(Molly) Pretty little church
(@Morgan) indeed it is
(Molly) A priest's son... that's unexpected
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) quite
* Molly sips her tea
(Molly) Kristian.
(@Morgan) aye
(Molly) What a weird coincidence... *she smiles slightly*
(@Morgan) what is?
(Molly) The is what Edward was going to call their new baby in my dream last night
(Molly) That*
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) So now we know he is Kristian Eisleblen, son  of a priest and a noble woman, nephew of a Duke and Duchess with strong ties to an Eisenfurstin...
* Molly watches him
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) This is starting to sound like Trouble, isn't it?
(@Morgan) what makes you say that?
(Molly) That's some rather powerful people involved
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) perhaps
(Molly) It doesn't trouble you?
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) I'm just asking questions
* Molly smiles
(Molly) What will we do now?
* @Morgan smiles
(@Morgan) ask some more
(Molly) But of whom?
(@Morgan) That Duke and Duchess for a start
* Molly watches him
(Molly) We are going to this fancy ball then?
(@Morgan) I don't think Edward would let me live it down if I didn't take you to it anyway
(Molly) I do have a very expensive dress I haven't worn yet *She smiles*
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) indeed
(Molly) How do you feel about going?
* @Morgan shrugs
* Molly nods slowly
(Molly) Will it be unpleasant?
(@Morgan) No more than any other excruciating social engagement
* Molly smiles but her eyes remain solemn
(Molly) I meant more because of the past, and the animosity of the nobility...
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) we'll see
(Molly) I'll try not to let you down
(@Morgan) You never could blossom
(Molly) Oh I don't know, I could spontaneously start talking in the way I used to as a small child before my Father became very strict about us speaking properly
(@Morgan) oh?
(Molly) My Mother's Durham accent was still quite strong when I was very young, and most of our acquaintances then were common Balig farmers...
* @Morgan shrugs
* Molly smiles a little
(Molly) I suppose you'd like to hear it?
* @Morgan nods
* Molly closes her eyes, sending him her thoughts. She's about Varick's age and saying the Lord's Prayer in church. Her accent is quite strong, and  mix of her Balig ((Devonshire)) birth place and her Mother's one which sounds very much like the servants at Foxcroft ((like Sarah millicans))
* Molly then opens her eyes, smiling
(Molly) Dreadful, isn't it?
(@Morgan) not at all
(Molly) My Father spent hours correcting us. That's why when I first met you it was only slightly Balig, and I continued to work against it
(@Morgan) And now your Avalonian is tinted by Eisen
* Molly nods
(Molly) I could probably be rid of that if I tried hard enough
(@Morgan) I rather like it
(Molly) Why, liebling?
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) I just do
* Molly looks thoughtful
(Molly) You never got around to telling me what Edward thought of it,  you know
(@Morgan) He's always liked hearing women speak Avalonian, but the Eisen accent to it... he likes it
(Molly) That's good. Maybe I'll speak to him in Avalonian more in future
(@Morgan) maybe, maybe not... He likes it a little too much
(Molly) Oh! *she blushes then giggles* Oh I see!
* Molly glances at him with mischief
(Molly) You would prefer I don't
(@Morgan) I'd hate to have to punch him for leering at you
* Molly giggles
(Molly) Does it affect you in the same way?
(@Morgan) A little I suppose
(Molly) I shall bear that in mind! *she concentrates enough to make her Eisen sound a little more like common Sudlachenburg* Unless you would prefer I speak to you like this?
(@Morgan) Not if you need to concentrate to do it
(Molly) I'm not very good at accents, aside from Spoilt  Montaigne Courtesan, Mon petit chou
* @Morgan chuckles
(Molly) **She does it* And what do you think your brother would think of this one, Mon petit chou?
(@Morgan) Tough to say
* Molly nods
(Molly) I'll try to just speak poshly Eisen at the ball
* Molly giggles
(@Morgan) poshly eisen?
(Molly) Yes, without any accent. Educated.
* @Morgan scratches his nose
(@Morgan) you'll stand out
(Molly) Why? That is how you speak
(@Morgan) No, my accent is... neutral... 
* Molly sips her tea
(Molly) That is the same to me
* @Morgan smiles slightly
(@Morgan) No, those who aim for the educated sound come off as.... imposters, lets say
(Molly) I suppose so. But as long as you aren't using your Avebury accent *she giggles*
(@Morgan) Its tempting... though I suppose Sudlachenburg's accent is just as recognisable here
* Molly nods
(Molly) It's not how the others would behave if you did that's the issue
(@Morgan) no?
* Molly bites her lip,  shaking her head
(Molly) It's me that would be the problem
(@Morgan) whyso?
(Molly) It's always made me want to kiss you
* @Morgan laughs
(@Morgan) why on Theah would that be the case?
(Molly) I'm not really sure. Possibly because at the time I first heard you use it I was generally thinking about kissing you almost all the time anyway
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) maybe
* @Morgan narrows his eyes
(@Morgan) have you heard me speaking to HeinzHarold with it?
* Molly thinks
(Molly) No, I don't think so ((he did it when confronting Sinan, but he had David with him, not Molly))
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) Considering the amount of time we spent pretending to be other people, its remarkably difficult to have a conversation with him without falling into it
* Molly laughs
(Molly) Oh dear, maybe you should warn him what might happen if I hear you using it!
(@Morgan) You'll think I sound a simpleton
(Molly) I'll probably still want to kiss you
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) maybe
(Molly) I'm sure it's very entertaining though
(@Morgan) my father never thought so
(Molly) He's a bit of a stick in the mud
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) he was just trying to raise me proper
* Molly watches him as if tring to decipher whether it was accented
(Molly) As one would hope
(Molly) You are happy to take me to court?
(@Morgan) why wouldn't I be?
(Molly) You did not want me meeting Eisenfurst Hainzl,  and you said Eisenfurst Freiburg is worse
(@Morgan) Then I'll have to be obnoxious enough to keep them at arms length.
(Molly) ***it reminds him of his dream of being at court with her surrounded by high status men, and then taking her possesively and roughly in the gardens against a wall
* Molly nods
(Molly) And what should I do?
(@Morgan) As Edward says, be friendly but not overly so... we want them to like you but not so much they want to bed you
(Molly) Can I dance?
(@Morgan) I'd imagine so
* Molly smiles
(Molly) That's good. I never thought I'd get to go to such a glamourous event!
(@Morgan) Its almost expected, being a duchess
* Molly smiles
(Molly) Oh yes, that's true
(Molly) So only a little friendly
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) That won't be easy, given how naturally charming I am *she giggles,*
(@Morgan) I'll just have to be overprotective then
(Molly) You'll be keeping your hands on me, to be safe?
(@Morgan) entirely possible
* Molly puts her hand on the side of her waist
(Molly) Here should be acceptable...
* @Morgan nods
* Molly puts her hand on the back of her neck
(Molly) This would probably be frowned upon
* @Morgan nods
* Molly watches him a moment then sips her tea
(Molly) I'm sure you'll think of something
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) undoubtedly
* Molly takes a deep breath
(Molly) Are you going to help with the rigging and sail check this afternoon?
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) I haven't decided
(Molly) Claudia will be doing that instead of training me
* Molly finishes her tea, putting down her cup
(@Morgan) unfortunate
(Molly) It's fine. We will pick it up again after Freiburg
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) She was asking why I don't captain a ship
* Molly moves, lying on her back with her head on his thigh
(Molly) Why don't you?
(@Morgan) it means time away from you
* Molly smiles
(Molly) That's very sweet
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I know, I'm like that
* Molly looks up at him
(Molly) Does part of you wish to?
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) it was always an ambition
(Molly) How long would you be gone?
(@Morgan) weeks at least
(Molly) And you would not want me on board?
(@Morgan) I don't see there'd be time
(Molly) I don't understand
(@Morgan) You've got work to do
* Molly looks sad
(Molly) We will make time, liebling
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) its not important
(Molly) Once the ambassador role is handed over in three years, I'm planning to be unable to travel much anyhow
(@Morgan) oh?
(Molly) Well I suspect you'd rather like to have me with child around then
* Molly watches him
(@Morgan) that'd make sense
* Molly watches him a moment longer before shrugging
(Molly) I could likely manage in your stead for a month two in Kiev
* @Morgan shakes his head
(@Morgan) I think not
* Molly looks up at him
(Molly) Tell me you could easily allow a life ambition of mine to go by without being experienced, and I will drop it
(@Morgan) Well, that'd be lying
* Molly nods
(Molly) So you see how I cannot let this go, especially as it is my fault it's so much more complicated than it should be?
(@Morgan) _fault_?
(Molly) Capperlucia and all the burden of my duty
(@Morgan) Thats our duty, and we both agreed to it
(Molly) Your next ship should be ready around the time I was planning to go to Capperlucia...
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) Maybe we could do one thing each
(@Morgan) how do you mean?
(Molly) I could go and be the fabulous ambassador on the Rose,  and you could captain the next ship around Eisen for trade or whatever you wish
(@Morgan) apart?
(Molly) The thousands of leagues of ocean make that a necessity
* @Morgan frowns
(@Morgan) You would wish to be apart from me?
(Molly) You would wish to live the rest of your life having missed out on your childhood dream?
(@Morgan) I would not wish to spend months away from you
(Molly) It'd be less than four months. You were away in Eisen not much less than that last year
(@Morgan) before we married, before we were properly together
(Molly) It is too high a cost?
* Molly watches his expression
(@Morgan) You wish to go and be ambassador alone?
(Molly) Wish to? No. But I would if it got you your dream
* @Morgan shakes his head
(Molly) What about after we return, in the spring? Maybe Varick and I could take a little house in one of the ports so you could be free for several weeks to captain? Or he and I could return to Innesbruck a while?
* @Morgan frowns
(@Morgan) maybe
(Molly) Why are you frowning?
(@Morgan) I'm thinking
(Molly) Do you need help with that?
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) What are you thinking?
(@Morgan) about your idea
(Molly) Which one?
(@Morgan) doing it in the spring
(Molly) Unless we could squeeze in you captaining the Rose after we've been  to Catterick but before the wedding...
* @Morgan shrugs
(Molly) It depends on what sort of sailing you wish to do, how long for, and what ship you wish to do it on
(@Morgan) Since I didn't view it as an option, I have no idea
(Molly) Something to think about. I can manage alone.
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) I don't want to be the reason you set aside your dreams.
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I know blossom
* Molly smiles a little
(Molly) I think I might go and do some practice by myself as Claudia is busy
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) good idea
* Molly gets up
(Molly) I'll see you in a while
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) be careful
(Molly) I'm likely the safest person on my own
* @Morgan nods
* Molly goes to put on her sword belt and boots
(Molly) And there's nowhere I could wander off!
(@Morgan) very true
* Molly gives him a quick smile. As she goes out, the cat comes in, jumping into his lap and meowing

** You have joined #7thseaic
(Molly) **Sorgi comes to find Morgan once Varick is awake, suggesting that a rig and sail check could be a good thing for the boy to learn. It's a big, time consuming job, and Varick enjoys it so much that it's almost his bed time when he asks for food.
(Molly) This sets his bed time back, meaning it's not until after he and Molly have eaten dinner just the two of them when he goes on deck to get an update from Sorgi. The sky is getting dark, but they're still moving*
** You're now known as Sorgi
(Sorgi) Good evening, m'Lord
(@Morgan) Sorgi
(Sorgi) We'll stop soon, probably just on the Posen-Freiburg border
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) We've made good progress today
(Sorgi) It's fast flowing and a good breeze, we've been lucky
* @Morgan nods
* Sorgi looks around
(Sorgi) She's a big girl, I'm not sure how she manages it
* @Morgan smiles
(@Morgan) I know what you mean
(Sorgi) Very odd. Will you be staying aboard, or relocating to your cousin's house?
(@Morgan) Probably staying aboard... no point hauling everything off to put it back on again
* Sorgi nods
(Sorgi) Not a long enough stop for that?
(@Morgan) long enough maybe but... I don't see a reason to unsettle everything
* Sorgi nods
(Sorgi) Still leaving on Wednesday for this wedding in Avalon?
(@Morgan) Thats the plan
(Sorgi) Where are we docking there?
(@Morgan) probably in a harbour
(Sorgi) I meant which dock?
(Sorgi) ((Carleon for the wedding, then Tawstock))
(@Morgan) I know you did
(@Morgan) Carleon for the wedding then move on to Tawstock
(Sorgi) Have you sailed her into dock there before?
(@Morgan) I haven't, though she has been docked in Tawstock before
* Sorgi nods
(Sorgi) Some charts would be useful. Does Molly know much about sailing into either?
(@Morgan) She'll know more than I do, since last time we sailed that way, I got off in Eisen
* Sorgi nods
(Sorgi) I'll ask her when I see her
(Sorgi) Inventory was as expected, provision list is ready. Some minor rigging issues that the crew can work on tomorrow, but aside from that everything looks good
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) excellent
(Sorgi) Passengers aren't making a nuisance of themselves, and their money has covered their food easily
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) if needs be I'll cover the shortfall
(Sorgi) We were going that way anyway,  m'Lord
* Sorgi gets called by a crew member, then looks to Morgan
(Sorgi) Unless there's anything else,  m'Lord?
(@Morgan) no captain
* Sorgi inclines his head before going off.
(Sorgi) **The Rose presses on carefully for a little after sunset, anchoring just before the boundary buoys that mark Posen from Freiburg. Having watched the crew settle the Rose for the night, he hears singing from the ballroom as he passes it, a mix of the mercenary passengers and Molly, singing about following the drum.**
(Sorgi) Oh once I ate from a silver plate/With sauces rich and rare/Now I’m glad if I’m not too late/To find some bread to share/Oh sup with me on a scraggy fowl/And dream of sugar plums/My love he is a soldier boy/So I’m following the drum.
** You're now known as Molly
* @Morgan stands in the doorway
* Molly and the others seem to be enjoying themselves. Claudia is sat with them, the only one who is drinking
(Molly) With a patter patter tat/And a rattle and a scrap/And the beat of a marching song/I’m ragged and I’m worn And my hose are torn-/And still I follow him along.
(Molly) **Claudia is the first to notice Morgan, rolling her eyes at him
* @Morgan smirks at her
(Molly) C ::joining us?::
(@Morgan) ::Yes. Need a drink::
(Molly) **Claudia moves around the happy singers, organising him a tankard of blokners and a seat at a table. Molly and the others keep singing*
** You're now known as Claudia
(Claudia) What's wrong?
(@Morgan) Nothing in particular. Bands of mercenaries make me mildly nervous
(Claudia) Singing: Oh once I wore a silken shawl/And a bonnet of ribbon trim/Now I’m glad if I’m clad at all/‘Twixt my ankles and my chin.
(Claudia) I don't see much threat from them. From what I have picked up, they're only mercenaries because there's not much other work going
* @Morgan nods, sipping his drink 
* Claudia glances, smiling a little
(Claudia) I haven't heard that verse in a very long time.
* @Morgan nods
* Claudia drinks some of her blokners
(Claudia) Do you want me standing guard tonight?
(@Morgan) We've got a watch for a reason
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) Sorgi has first, Koen on middle  then I have morning. I'll be around to sit in the rigging and listen to your latest odd dream or nightmare
* @Morgan chuckles
(@Morgan) For once I'd like to have nothing to tell you
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) Or something funny
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) That'd be nice
(Claudia) Singers: Oh sew with me in a sturdy stitch/And do not prick your thumb/My love he is a soldier boy/So I’m following the drum.
* Claudia watches Morgan
(Claudia) They've toned that down at least
(@Morgan) oh?
(Claudia) I'd rather not say!
(@Morgan) That surprises me
(Claudia) Does it?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) You're not normally one to shy away from things
(Claudia) This is the only version you've heard?
* @Morgan nods
* Claudia sighs, speaking quietly
(Claudia) The version I know is "So fuck me here be,  don't be too quick to cum,  my love you are a soldier boy, so bang me like a drum"
(Claudia) [14:10] (Claudia) The version I know is "So fuck me here while we still can,  don't be too quick to cum,  my love you are a soldier boy, so bang me like a drum"
(Claudia) **The others have moved on to singing something else**
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) that sounds more like it
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) Shouldn't imagine you want your wife learning that from mercenaries
(@Morgan) Not really, no
(Claudia) I dread to think what other verses Heinzharold would have picked up
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I daren't imagine
(Claudia) He probably spent more time with the followers of the drum than I did
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) probably
* Claudia smirks a little, then sips her blokners
(Claudia) Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) very much
(Claudia) Me too. Though it's been quite tolerable, just the two of us
* @Morgan nods
(Claudia) I feel like we know each other much better
* @Morgan nods
(Claudia) He doesn't know any of it...
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) He wont hear it from me
* Claudia shrugs
(Claudia) Maybe it's time I let you both in, stopped being reluctant to rely on people
(@Morgan) Thats your choice of course... you know we're here for you no matter what
* Claudia nods
(Claudia) And us for you *She watches him*
* @Morgan nods
* Claudia finishes her drink
(Claudia) It's getting late. I'll leave you with the choir
* @Morgan rolls his eyes
(@Morgan) thank you so much
(Claudia) You could join in, or waltz your wife around a bit
* Claudia smirks
(@Morgan) join in, no... the latter...
* Claudia laughs
(Claudia) Sweet dreams,  Casanova
* Claudia heads off. The singing continues. Molly glances at him
** You're now known as Molly
(Molly) [Shall I teach them The Bear And The Maiden Fair, Mon petit chou?]
(@Morgan) [I wouldn't be surprised if they know it]
(Molly) [We can retire, if you are ready?]
(@Morgan) [if you wish to blossom]
(Molly) [Alright liebling]
* Molly finishes the song, then thanks the mercenaries. They tell her how good she is,  and she's still blushing a little even when they're back into their rooms. She takes off her boots
(Molly) That was fun. It made me think of the singing in the tavern in Paan, though I was a bit too busy to sing that night *She giggles*
(@Morgan) Yes, I recall
(Molly) Fondly, I hope!
* Molly starts to unpin her hair
(@Morgan) Of course
* Molly watches him
(Molly) Are you ready for bed?
* @Morgan shrugs, sipping his blokners
(Molly) Is something the matter?
(@Morgan) Not at all... just admiring what I see
* Molly smiles warmly. She watches him as she undoes her hair even slower, then loosens it with her fingers, separating the long red curls
(@Morgan) Has Sorgi spoken to you about docking in Carleon?
* Molly frowns slightly
(Molly) No, I haven't seen him
* @Morgan nods, running his eyes over her hair
* Molly smiles, turning away to make it swish and swirl as he likes it
(Molly) Why,  liebling?
(@Morgan) He was asking about approach and docking. Its almost like he's a little unsure of doing it
(Molly) He's never sailed into Carleon before?
* Molly starts undoing the laces at the back of her dress
(@Morgan) Doesn't sound like it
(Molly) Hmm... Alright. I think I can remember well enough
(@Morgan) Not something I took part in, obviously
(Molly) I've only done it once, after leaving you behind in Freiburg
* Molly starts slipping her arms out of the dress, white shift beneath it. She glances over her shoulder at him with a smile
(Molly) I'm glad I won't be leaving you behind this time
* @Morgan moves closer
(@Morgan) me too
* Molly pushes the fabric to the floor
(Molly) Do you wish to take off my corset?
(@Morgan) I didn't realise I was wearing it
* Molly giggles
(Molly) It would be awfully challenging to undo your placket if you were!
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I would imagine so
* Molly watches him over her shoulder
(Molly) If you would prefer to just stand there and watch me undress myself, that can be arranged...

(Molly) [15:17] * MollyK waits for him to undo it by wrapping her arms around her and popping the bus is as he first did on their wedding day before finally taking her after such a long wait. She moans softly at the pressure
* @Morgan unlaces it
* Molly moves her long hair over her shoulder,  keeping it out of the way. There's no noise now aside from his movements,  their breathing, and the ship as she's  gently lapped by the current
(Molly) *she says softly* Thank you, liebling
(@Morgan) My pleasure
* Molly undoes the busks at the front, then  drops it on the floor. She moves back against him
(Molly) Would you like me to put the oil on your back again like the other evening, or do you want an earlyish night?
(@Morgan) No, I'd rather like that
* Molly nods. She moves away a little
(Molly) I'll get the oil then, my love
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) thank you
* Molly goes to do that, and then lifts her shift to remove her stockings whilst sitting on the edge of the bed
(Molly) I was thinking perhaps I would go to Jarvie's house tomorrow when we dock
(@Morgan) oh?
(Molly) I will have a lot of preparing to do before going to such a fancy party
(@Morgan) And you think Jarvie is suited to preparing you?
* Molly smiles
(Molly) I think Jarvie probably has a bath
(@Morgan) I'd imagine so
(Molly) Inga can do my hair and makeup and help me dress *She runs her eyes over him appreciatively* Do you need me to help you _undress_? *she smiles*
(@Morgan) I'm _fairly_ sure I can manage
* Molly laughs softly. She stands, removing her shift, now clad only in the leather holster that holds her crested dagger on her thigh
(Molly) An experienced lieutenant should be very good at undressing!
* @Morgan nods, taking his shirt off
* Molly undoes the straps, but her warm gaze is purely on his revealed skin
(Molly) Are you taking the herbs and using the balm first...?
* @Morgan stretches, flexing his back

** ChanServ sets mode(s) +o  Morgan
* @Morgan leans over, picking up his drink before taking a mouthful
* Molly waits to see what he chooses about the balm and herbs
(Molly) You can leave your trousers on or remove them, whichever you prefer
* @Morgan nods, shedding them
* Molly watches him with a slight blush and a not-so-slight smile
* Molly safely puts her dagger and holder away from the bed, and waits for him to get comfortable
(Molly) You don't mind me going off to Jarvie's to make myself beautiful?
(@Morgan) You already are
* @Morgan climbs onto the bed, finishing his drink
* Molly smiles find it at him
(Molly) Fondly *
(Molly) I mean court-beautiful. All fancy and glamourous
(@Morgan) ah, I see
* Molly encourages him to lie face down as before
(Molly) Do you know where Dresden Strasse actually is? ((How good is his Freiburg geography?))
(@Morgan) ((fairly))
* @Morgan rolls onto his front
(Molly) ((It's in a respectable area, 3 miles from the dock. That would mean he could sense her direction, but not her thoughts or feelings))
* Molly straddles his hips, her skin warm against them and his buttocks. He hears the oil open before he feels her drizzle a little on his skin
(@Morgan) I should be able to feel your direction, but nothing else
* Molly starts to run her hands all over his back
(Molly) That's alright, isn't it?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I suppose so
(Molly) We can send messengers if we need to
* Molly gets to work on his shoulders
(Molly) You know, like normal people do...
* @Morgan nods slightly 
(Molly) It's a little nerve-wracking
(@Morgan) oh?
(Molly) Court... making a good impression.
* Molly works methodically, hitting all the points and pressures he seemed to like last time
(@Morgan) You do not wish to go?
(Molly) I do, I just do not wish to let you down or embarass the family
(@Morgan) You wont blossom
(Molly) _You_ do not wish to go? *she giggles*
* @Morgan shrugs slightly
(@Morgan) not especially
(Molly) But you wish to speak to Duke Ascania?
* @Morgan nods
* Molly works her way down to his lower back, adding a little more oil
(Molly) We won't have to stay long
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) aye
(Molly) Where are we to stay?
(@Morgan) I was thinking we'd stay here
* Molly finds the knotted spots, working them out
(Molly) I suppose we can't really be trusted in other peoples houses anyway
* @Morgan shrugs
(@Morgan) I'd not complain at having another cup
(Molly) Cup of what?
(@Morgan) I seem to acquire cups when I go places
(Molly) Oh! Yes, I sew
(Molly) See *
* Molly works quietly a little while longer before giggling. Then she rests her hands on the bed outside his arms and leans forward, rubbing her breasts side to side over his shoulder blades.
(@Morgan) Enjoying yourself there?
(Molly) Having you at my mercy? *she giggles*
(@Morgan) Not quite what I meant, but close enough
(Molly) Oh yes, very much *She changed her movement so it's up and down instead, the oil making her skin glide over his*
(Molly) I can stop, if it is making you uncomfortable?
(@Morgan) No, its fine
* Molly squeezes his hips with her thighs
(Molly) Is there anywhere else on your back that needs attention?
* @Morgan shrugs slightly
* Molly sits back, then climbs off, sitting beside him
(Molly) Are you all relaxed now?
(@Morgan) more or less
(Molly) Only more or less, liebling? *She sounds a little concerned*
(@Morgan) I have one area that is definitely not relaxed
(Molly) Oh really? Where might that be?
(@Morgan) I cant show you from here I'm afraid
* Molly moves a little further away
(Molly) And now?
* @Morgan rolls onto his back, erection immediately obvious
* Molly blushes with a smile, fidgeting a little
(Molly) Oh yes, very not relaxed, liebling... perhaps you would like some help with that?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) very much
* Molly nods
(Molly) Is there any specific way you would like me to help?
* Molly watches him with a smile,  looking both  relaxed and aroused
(@Morgan) I'm not sure
* Molly nods, running her fingers down his chest, over his stomach and then down on to his thigh teasingly
(Molly) Do you know whether we are still in Posen?
(@Morgan) Just...
* Molly smiles
(Molly) Alright
* Molly trails her fingers across, and then from his base to his tip, watching his expression
* @Morgan watches her hand, smiling slightly
(Molly) Between Tannen and Paan, we had a race... and the winner of the race was to choose a prize... and I never took my  prize because I got distracted by this *she wraps her fingers around his hardness, slowly stroking him*
* @Morgan nods slightly
(Molly) I think I might just do that, as our journey is about to come to an end...
(@Morgan) mmmhmmm... and what is that?
* Molly speeds up a little
(Molly) I was going to provide the sort of view got deprived of when I had to swap my figure-hugging trousers for more coverage on horseback
(@Morgan) how do you mean?
(Molly) Perhaps I will just show you *She smiles*
* Molly straddles his hips again, but facing away this time, giving him an excellent view of her bottom, hips and outer thighs, as well as the cascade of ringlets down to her lower back. She keeps her hand around his shaft rather than impaling herself on his erection.
(@Morgan) I fail to see how this is your prize
(Molly) Why, liebling?
* Molly continues to use her hand on him, speeding up a little
(@Morgan) Its me with the enjoyment...
(Molly) And that is why it is my prize, because I get to please you
* Molly moves her head to make her hair move in that way he has previously described as hypnotic
* @Morgan twitches his hips a little
(@Morgan) I see
* Molly briefly removes her hand from him. Then she shudders a little before touching him once more, her fingers slick and gliding better over his swollen manhood.
(Molly) I like to please you
(@Morgan) I am certainly not complaining
* Molly moves her hand, concentrating the stimulation at the top of his shaft and his head, much like beneath the table in Paan. She rhythmically tightens and relaxes her thighs against him, occasionally grinding herself against him
* @Morgan breathes in sharply, thrusting his hips slightly
* Molly moans softly. She continues the stroking, alternating between the tight strokes at the top and longer strokes right to his base
* @Morgan grunts, starting to take rapid shallow breaths
* Molly changes the angle of his manhood, now holding his tip against her body, and rises up and down, sliding the hot wet softness of her outer lips around him, making little noises of pleasure both as his tip meets her clit, and when it reaches her entrance
* @Morgan breathes in sharply
(@Morgan) that feels so good
* Molly moans quietly at this, and he can feel how her body clenches with arousal at this by the point in which her derriere meets his body. She grinds her clit to his member with a little whimper  of need
(Molly) Yes, it really does
* @Morgan breathes in deeply, releasing the breath in one slow exhale
* Molly continues to use him to pleasure her for a few moments before returning  to sliding herself against him, gradually  increasing the pressure when his head is against her entrance. It quickly becomes obvious this is designed to tease and torment, though her vocalizations show it's very pleasurable for her
* @Morgan starts to thrust his hips
(Molly) *softly* You can put your hands on me if you wish to, mein Sehnsucht
* @Morgan puts a hand on her hip, the other wrapped in her hair
* Molly allows his thrusts to push his manhood barely inside her over and over. She shivers noticeably at the sensation of his fingers in her curls
(Molly) Yes. I like that.
(@Morgan) uh huh, good
* Molly runs a hand down gently on to his balls, and slightly increases the depth of his penetration, just his head pushing in and out of the heat of her core
* @Morgan pushes downwards on her hip
(Molly) More?
(@Morgan) more
* Molly drops a little more on to him, but frustratingly only another inch. She rolls her hips in a wide circle, her fingers moving away from his balls
* @Morgan groans, pulling harder on her hip
(Molly) *she grinds down another inch, again circling the warmth and softness around him* Like that? *her voice makes it obvious that this teasing is purposeful*
* @Morgan grunts
(@Morgan) aye
* Molly moves her arm, but it's the moan she makes  and the way her body shudders both visibly and around his head that tells him she's brought her fingers to that most sensitive spot between her lips
* @Morgan grunts trying to thrust up into her
* Molly continues at that shallower depth, though rhythmically rides up and down him as if each time will be the one where she goes deeper. She moans rhythmically as she circles her fingers firmly on her clit
(Molly) This.  Pleases.  You?
(@Morgan) aye... but more, please
* Molly sinks another inch deeper, her breaths harder but further apart, building towards her climax. She takes up a rhythm that is slightly slower than before.
(Molly) More, like that?
* @Morgan just grunts in response
* Molly continues like this, interspersing with hip rolls as she drives her body towards ecstasy. Her breathing begins to speed, still hard and deep  but the noises of pleasure become much closer together.
* @Morgan tries to pull her down again
* Molly uses her left hand on his upper thigh to steady herself, her body beginning to arch and flex almost like the waves, fluid and rhythmic.  She gets lower,  but still not as deep as he could be. She breathes raggedly now, trying to manage the sensation
(Molly) 12
* @Morgan thrusts upwards, pulling on her hip and her hair
* Molly moans "oh god!", her thighs clamping hard against him. She grinds her hips right down into his groin as deeply as she can. She exhales in little pants, letting the sensation build for as long as she can
* @Morgan groans, swelling inside her, thrusting into her as his orgasm hits
* Molly throws her head back, her back arching as she climaxes very tightly around him, moaning loudly
* @Morgan looses his warmth inside her, throwing back his head and groaning deeply
* Molly continues to ride him even as she peaks once more, eager to wring him as much pleasure as he can bear
* @Morgan relaxes back into the bed, breathing slower
* Molly slows incrementally, just gently stroking up and down around him
* @Morgan untangles his fingers from her hair
* Molly shivers with a little moan,  then grinds against him a final time
* @Morgan runs his fingers down her back
* Molly arches at this with a louder moan, gently moving herself off his member
(Molly) That was a good prize
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I'm glad you enjoyed it
(Molly) Very  very much
(@Morgan) as did I
* Molly dismounts, lying beside him
(Molly) That was my aim
* @Morgan nods
* Molly smiles
(Molly) That's  what I had planned to do to you in Paan
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) I would have had no complaints
(Molly) But instead of pleasuring you in a busy tavern? *she giggles*
(@Morgan) That I enjoyed too
* Molly smiles
(Molly) I aim to please my Lord
(@Morgan) and that you do, your excellency
* Molly moves closer to him, snuggling up
(Molly) Good, I am glad
* Molly yawns
(Molly) Six...
(@Morgan) Koenigsreichs?
(Molly) Indeed. Impressive,  given that I was a virgin twelve weeks ago
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) Only one to go
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) We will have two and a half days there, I suspect that one will be easy *she giggles*
(@Morgan) I would hope so
(Molly) As would I, as my course is due on Thursday
* @Morgan nods
(Molly) Odd to think that will be four weeks since the cast
* @Morgan nods
* Molly yawns again
(Molly) Are you now relaxed everywhere,  my love?
* @Morgan nods
(@Morgan) indeed
(Molly) Good. I am most glad I could help
(Molly) Are you ready to sleep?
* @Morgan nods, stretching
(@Morgan) aye
* Molly gets under the covers
(Molly) Singing?
(@Morgan) please, if its not too much bother 
(Molly) Liebling, it is never a bother. Anything specific you wish to hear?
* @Morgan shakes his head
* Molly sings Following The Drum as earlier. He falls asleep quickly
