** You are now disconnected (Connection reset) ------------------------------ Logging started for 192.168.1.82:#7thsea on Tuesday, 15 February 2022 11:39:14 Greenwich Mean Time ------------------------------ ** Reconnecting to 192.168.1.82:6667… ** You have joined #7thsea (Molly) **When they get back to the nursery, Varick is awake and looking at the carved wooden box Seb gave to Molly to replace her old sewing box. Just like how she dreamt of Seb introducing her to the smokey tea outdoors and finding her disgusted expression cute being like he and Dietlinde's first date, the significance of Seb giving Molly a sewing box, just as he had taken Dietlinde one back after the War, seems less a coincidence. * Morgan frowns hard * Molly glances at him [It's just a box. I can pass it on to someone else] (Molly) **Varick brings it to Morgan** Look, it's got little fish on it (Morgan) [its the significance of it. I gave one to Dietlinde, just as I introduced her to smokey tea] (Morgan) So it has... they really like fish here don't they (Molly) [Oh, I see] (Molly) V: **he nods** I could put some toys in it (Morgan) If your mama was happy with that * Molly shrugs "That is fine, I will buy a new one when I am in Freiburg" (Molly) **Varick thanks her, going to play** * Molly smiles slightly "There we go, all solved." (Morgan) Not really the point is it * Molly nods "It's very strange" (Molly) **Claudia comes into the parlour** $how are you?$ * Morgan shrugs slightly (Molly) **Heinzharold turns up with Seb and Ilena to the nursery. Claudia is looking at her intently, but noone seems to notice. (Molly) **Seb looks shockingly well-rested and cheerful, considering what Morgan knows about his broken night: Good morning, good morning, how are we all? (Molly) Well, thank you. And yourselves? **Seb and Ilena assure her they are well** * Morgan watches Claudia for a moment before looking at HeinzHarold then to Seb (Morgan) your father was right about the view (Molly) S: *he nods* My favourite place as a child (Molly) **Varick comes over to them, Sebastian's manner seems to set him at ease** Are you the man with the bum? (Molly) **Molly closes her eyes, inhaling deeply through her nose. Ilena giggles at this, making her look younger than eighteen. **Seb smiles at the boy "Am I? Shall I check?" He starts walking in circles and trying to peer over his own shoulder theatrically. This has Varick cracking up and the others chuckling. Even Molly is smiling at this** * Morgan watches him for a moment before looking away again (Molly) S, still looking behind him: Thought I saw it then, but it's gone! *he looks to Varick* If you see it, let me know (Molly) **Varick waits til he turns around before saying "There it is!" (Molly) **Seb looks around, feigning confusion** Where? **Varick runs around behind him before saying it again** (Molly) **HH grins, watching Morgan** $Maybe he's not grown up that much!$ * Morgan shrugs, rolling his neck (Molly) **Claudia smirks: $Not the worst ass I've ever seen$ * Morgan finds somewhere to sit down (Molly) **HH, to Morgan $She's gonna say I'm the worst ass, isn't she?$ * Morgan shrugs slightly (Molly) **Varick is now shouting "I see it!". Molly shakes her head, feigning sternness that she is barely pulling off** Now now, if we aren't to be late for the celebration we need to have breakfast. (Molly) **Seb looks at her with an impish smile before he then looks to Varick** Her Excellency is quite right, though you'll want a light breakfast as there's a lot of fish that won't eat themselves down at the stalls. * Molly ushers them out of the room, looking to Morgan "Are you coming to breakfast, my love?" * Morgan sighs before nodding (Morgan) I suppose so * Molly waits for him as HH and Claudia go out (Molly) **they can hear the conversation ahead* V: Do you like fish? (Molly) S: *he nods* Insel is a place for fish lovers, just like being a sailor requires eating a lot of fish (Molly) **Varick moves to walk in step with Seb as they all leave the nursery** When I am a man, I would like to be a sailor, but everyone says I have to be a Freiarr. (Molly) Seb smiles at the boy with empathy: That's what they tell me too. Not always easy, is it? * Molly walks offers her hand to Morgan, speaking quietly "I had hoped we had heard the last about bums" * Morgan nods (Morgan) as had I * Morgan takes her hand, standing up * Molly kisses his knuckles (Molly) Although, I could be persuaded to talk about yours, just without all that audience! (Morgan) We should go to breakfast * Molly frowns ever so slightly before smiling (Molly) Alright (Molly) **She is quiet on the walk down, but doesnt let go of his hand. Breakfast goes well, and there is just enough time for Seb to take Varick up to the tower to see if they can see Vendel and Avalon. The ladies opt to wait in the drawing room** ((goes with Varick, or stays in the drawing room?)) (Morgan) ((goes with Varick)) ** You're now known as Varick * Varick is excited to look through the spy glass, but sadly the visibility is not quite good enough to see the land. Instead Seb shows him the ruined fort of Dietmund. HH grins at Morgan $wouldn't be ruined without us$ * Morgan nods slightly (Varick) **They can't stay long, and are soon leaving. Two carriages are taken to the town, though Claudia and Morgan ride. Seb rides on ahead, setting off at a canter. They don't pass the old church this time but he still gets Molly's overspilled thoughts about it [Then the candelabra hit the floor too. He'd have needed to withdraw in that story, a young noble woman couldn't risk a groomsman getting a child upon her. The Vaticine method in a Vaticine church…] ** You're now known as Molly (Molly) C: Heinzharold wants me to keep an eye on you (Morgan) There's a shock (Molly) C: Want them kept apart? * Morgan sighs (Morgan) I don't know, in all honesty (Molly) C: why not? * Morgan sighs (Morgan) I don't know how to explain it (Molly) C: *she shrugs* feel like maybe you're being unnecessarily worried? ------------------------------ Logging started for 192.168.1.82:#7thsea on Tuesday, 15 February 2022 13:05:51 Greenwich Mean Time ------------------------------ ** You have joined #7thsea (Claudia) [13:05] (Molly) C: *she shrugs* feel like maybe you're being unnecessarily worried? (Morgan) Yes and no (Claudia) Any point me trying to talk sense into you? * Morgan looks at her (Morgan) Interesting, given your views on love * Claudia looks back at him (Claudia) You and Molly love each other. She's brought you out of your shell, and it suits you (Morgan) He reminds me of me, y'know (Claudia) He's like if you and Heinzharold had a baby (Morgan) Think you might be right there. (Claudia) You were shyer * Morgan nods (Morgan) aye (Claudia) I remember him being more like Heinzharold (Morgan) irritating?\ * Claudia nods (Claudia) Immature (Morgan) clearly caring * Claudia nods (Claudia) Chatty, irreverent * Morgan sighs (Morgan) I want to hate him (Claudia) But you dont (Morgan) No. I hate the similarities though (Claudia) Between you and him? (Morgan) No... Molly had a dream where he introduced her to a certain tea, and she hated it... that was exactly what happened with myself and Dietlinde... I gave her a sewing box when I came home from the war... last night, he gave one to Molly... (Claudia) That's a bit weird * Morgan nods (Claudia) You're worrying they could have what you and Dietlinde had? (Morgan) If she wasn't with me, she's meant to be with him (Claudia) You know that for sure? * Morgan nods (Claudia) And you aren't with Dietlinde, so she is with you and not him? Trying to understand where you're coming from (Morgan) its hard to explain... and I know how you feel about the idea of fate (Claudia) Fate controls the big picture, you make your own decisions on the small scale, I think you said * Morgan nods (Morgan) but things were... arranged to go a certain way, one of those things was her with him (Claudia) You and she are an accident then? (Morgan) the ideal, if unexpected... (Claudia) That makes no fucking sense (Claudia) The ideal for fate is you and she together, but it wasnt expected that it'd go the ideal way? * Morgan nods (Morgan) because I will do what I will do. (Claudia) Because you married Dietlinde? * Morgan nods (Morgan) if she hadn't died, they would've been together * Claudia glances at him (Claudia) And in usual Morgan-fashion, you have some guilt there? * Morgan smiles slightly (Morgan) No, for a change * Claudia laughs (Claudia) Big change. Does it matter what could have been? What's going on now is what it is (Morgan) The issue is.... what if what could have been is still there, underlying... about to be woken (Claudia) But it can't, because Dietlinde is gone (Morgan) but the things that were to draw them together could be, the attraction, the feelings... the desire * Claudia thinks about this before saying "And? What do you think happens then?" (Morgan) I don't know (Claudia) Well think then. What is the worst case, what is the best case? (Morgan) Best case, she feels nothing. Worst case, she falls in love with him, and I would not keep her with me if she did not want to be (Claudia) Even if it's this "ideal" thing for fate? (Morgan) Would you want to keep someone with you knowing they wanted another more? (Claudia) Asking the wrong woman. **She rolls her neck** If I loved her, it would depend on whether she loved me too, what she wanted, how temporary her relationship with them was going to be * Morgan opens his mouth then shuts it * Claudia looks at him (Claudia) What? (Morgan) Doesn't matter (Claudia) No, go on. (Morgan) I was a little... surprised I suppose that you'd consider letting a partner be with someone else temporarily * Claudia shrugs "I guess I'm not like the rest of you" (Morgan) You are singular, there's no argument there (Claudia) Think it's impossible to want two people at once? (Morgan) I don't know (Claudia) Think it's impossible to love two people? * Morgan shrugs (Claudia) Maybe she will like him. Maybe this fate horseshit will have an effect. That's out of both of your hands. The commitment you've made to each other isnt. * Morgan slumps, nodding (Claudia) Doesn't mean she doesn't love or want you, does it? (Morgan) Doesn't make the feeling any easier * Claudia nods "I know" (Morgan) You figured out why Ilena looks familiar yet? (Claudia) It's not so much now, it was in the portrait. Probably some kid I've seen somewhere (Morgan) that why you were staring so hard at her? * Claudia nods (Claudia) She's pretty, but way too young for me (Morgan) aye? (Claudia) You don't think she's pretty? * Morgan shrugs (Morgan) I suppose * Claudia nods (Claudia) You opting out of this kissing stuff? * Morgan nods (Morgan) its daft * Claudia nods (Claudia) Probably started by some randy young lad hoping to kiss some girl he couldn't get away with kissing any other way (Morgan) Probably (Morgan) I had a nightmare about it (Claudia) The pair of them? * Morgan nods (Morgan) and this kissing thing (Claudia) Best not try it (Morgan) no (Claudia) How's Molly about it? (Morgan) she says she's utterly committed to what we have (Claudia) Well there you go then (Morgan) I was convinced I would want nothing as much as I want coffee, until I had tea... * Claudia nods "That's when you gave up coffee and never drank it again, only ever drinking tea" (Morgan) No, but I always wanted both... sometimes I want tea more (Claudia) And sometimes you don't (Claudia) You always been this possessive? (Morgan) Probably. I think losing Dietlinde prompted it mostly * Claudia nods (Claudia) If you and Molly is fate's ideal, wouldn't that mean she'd have been attracted to you even if she and Rosie were already together? (Morgan) I don't think so, no... (Claudia) Makes even less sense. (Morgan) I know (Claudia) If you and Molly are the ideal, shouldn't you be attracted to each other no matter what? * Morgan shrugs (Claudia) **they get nearer town** Complicated life you have (Morgan) no shit (Claudia) At least you have me and Heinzharold, keep you sane (Morgan) I feel bad... I've put him in an awful position (Claudia) Not your fault (Morgan) It is. I shouldn't have leaned on him so much (Claudia) Don't be stupid. You'd do it for us. You've heard more from me than most would want to hear about their friends. * Morgan sighs (Claudia) Maybe we don't mind you leaning on us, because we know what the alternative is. (Morgan) which is? (Claudia) You not leaning on us, like before. (Morgan) you're possibly right * Claudia nods (Claudia) If you decide to run off, tell me first. (Morgan) run off or disappear? (Claudia) Either. * Morgan nods (Claudia) You don't get to come back and then go again like that. (Morgan) I already promised you, didn't I? (Claudia) Did you? * Morgan nods (Claudia) Ok then. You spent that time with her like I said? * Morgan nods * Claudia nods (Claudia) Helped? (Morgan) Some (Claudia) Think maybe you need to do it again? (Morgan) There's only so much reassurance she can give... its the similarities, what was supposed to be thats bothering me (Claudia) This time tomorrow we'll be sailing out and you, and _she_, will never have to see him again * Morgan nods (Claudia) **They arrive shortly after. The little town is packed with people, it is clearly a large event. This makes it easier not to be the centre of attention, as does the fact they are all quite simply dressed, no indicators of their lofty titles. Varick immediately finds some other children to talk to. The Rosenkrantzs are front and centre stage here** ((Attention?)) (Morgan) ((alternating between seb and molly)) (Claudia) **Seb is fully encompassed by locals and the events, soon far away from them. Molly is close to Morgan's side, just looking around (Claudia) **Without the Rosenkrantzs their little group is back to normal. Molly and Inga walk arm in arm talking quietly, Varick wants to look at everything and chat to everyone. Hh and Claudia are ragging on each other. The atmosphere is cheerful and celebratory, and they are made welcome. The first thing that happens is that the boats are blessed in Thean and each given a sprinkling of holy water. Molly stands close beside Morgan ** You're now known as Molly (Molly) Rather odd, a Vaticine blessing in an Objectionist Freiarrdom (Morgan) This whole place is backwards * Molly giggles, looking up at him (Molly) Surprisingly undiplomatic, my love * Morgan shrugs (Morgan) I'm skilled in a certain sort of diplomacy * Molly smiles (Molly) The violent kind? * Morgan shrugs (Morgan) maybe (Molly) **HH is on Morgan's other side, watching the boats** (Molly) Besides, mon petit chou, you are skilled in a great many things... (Morgan) damn right (Molly) **HH glances in her direction before gesturing $ I think maybe she fancies you, man$ * Morgan nods slightly * Molly doesn't notice their exchange, but slips her hand into his as another boat is blessed (Molly) It is not just the boats that are blessed, I am blessed in having you (Morgan) I'm not so sure about that... * Molly glances up at him "I am sure." (Morgan) Given my... issues... (Molly) I am hardly perfect either. Something doesn't need to be perfect to be... valuable. * Morgan nods (Morgan) true (Molly) And you are so very valuable to me (Morgan) as you are to me (Molly) HH: $Gonna be you pair off kissing in the water at this rate!$ (Morgan) $I could live with that (Molly) $could keep Varick busy if you need to do some grand romantic gesture$ (Morgan) $Might take you up on that$ (Molly) $got an hour or two before the next bit. Head west on the beach, should be very quiet$ * Morgan nods, moving away, pulling Molly with him * Molly looks surprised "is something the matter?" (Morgan) No... * Molly nods (Molly) Where are we going? (Morgan) the beach * Molly glances back "what about the others?" (Molly) **if his nightmare is correct, there's an empty area just passed the boat house** (Morgan) HeinzHarold is taking care of it * Molly nods, holding onto his hand and smiling "Alright, my love" * Molly pulls off her shoes as soon as they are on sand, which on this beach is soft and fine. She watches his expression. The sound of the festivities are behind them now, and the beach looks emptied as everyone is off work for the day (Molly) Everyone goes to the party, it seems (Morgan) its a big deal to the fish people * Molly giggles (Molly) I imagine fish people as the reverse of mermaids * Molly wanders contently at his side, letting him lead her (Morgan) legs and fish heads? (Molly) Mmhmm (Molly) Not as pretty as mermaids (Morgan) No, I shouldn't imagine so * Molly nods, just keeping an eye to him (Molly) How far are we going? (Morgan) this is probably far enough I suppose * Molly glances around. The harbour with the boats is still visible, but they're definitely well away from people. The boat house is further west (Molly) It's certainly quiet * Morgan nods (Morgan) aye it is * Molly smiles up at him (Molly) Did you need to talk? (Morgan) No, not really (Molly) Alright, my love **She looks out over the sea, smiling to herself** (Morgan) unless there is something you wish to discuss * Molly shakes her head (Molly) No no, I am quite content * Morgan nods, wandering aimlessly * Molly starts to look confused (Morgan) what? (Molly) There is nothing you need to say, and nowhere, it seems, that you wish to go. I am confused that we've come here? (Morgan) because it gives me time to just be with you * Molly nods (Molly) You are feeling that there is too much space between us again? (Morgan) More that I'm taking the opportunity * Molly nods "We could have a look at that boat house?" * Morgan nods (Morgan) suits me * Molly walks that way. On the far side of it the town is out of view, and the beach is starting to transition into the shale that is common further down where the land has risen to cliffs. The only sound here is the sea * Molly loosens his hand to go and have a look around it, peering in the window (Molly) It seems every boat is taken for the blessing * Morgan nods * Molly runs a hand along the wood as she walks down the far side (Molly) I suppose we ought to head back soon (Morgan) We had about an hour from when we left * Molly smiles "Mmhmm. I dare say we have about ten minutes then" * Morgan nods * Molly watches him a long moment, smiling (Molly) A lady alone with a Duke in a secluded location for ten minutes might get certain ideas about His Excellencies intentions... (Morgan) what ideas might those be? (Molly) Oh, I said _A_ lady, not _this_ lady... *she smirks* (Morgan) true. * Molly leans with her back to the boat house, watching him with mischief (Molly) You could, of course, speculate on what a Duke's intentions might be, sharing both a title and a gender with him (Morgan) Something scandalous I would imagine (Molly) Mmm I can imagine something scandalous too (Morgan) that doesn't surprise me really * Molly closes her eyes, smiling and nodding to herself (Molly) Mmhmm * Molly keeps her eyes shut, but the rest of her expression shows surprise "Oh really? But won't there be wet patches on my knees?" * Morgan looks confused (Morgan) I've no idea what you're thinking * Molly still has her eyes closed "hhmm?" She opens one eye "sorry, my mouth was full" She sticks her tongue out at him * Morgan blinks slowly * Molly giggles, closing her eyes again. Her brows come together "Oh, yes, that's good too" (Morgan) thats... rather cruel (Molly) Is it? * Morgan nods (Morgan) yes (Molly) Why is that? No, don't stop! * Morgan frowns * Molly opens her eyes "come here, liebes herz" * Morgan comes to her * Molly wraps her arms around his waist and pulls him suddenly to her. She watches him intently (Molly) Tell me why. (Morgan) because... I could be imagining the wrong thing... (Molly) Perhaps you should tell me what you are imagining... *her hands gently stroke his lower back* (Morgan) No, I think you should tell me * Molly smiles, one hand running onto his backside. She speaks slowly, watch his eyes (Molly) I was being on my knees for you... doing your placket... (Molly) Imagining* * Morgan nods (Morgan) you would get wet knees * Molly smiles (Molly) Yes, I would... (Morgan) wouldn't want that, would we (Molly) No... however... *she loosens her grip on his ass and back* (Morgan) however? * Molly drops down to a squatting position, resting her back to the wall still for balance. This brings her to a reasonable height for the suggested purpose. She watches up at him with a suggestive smile "...however, sometimes one can be creative..." * Morgan nods (Morgan) hem'd get wet * Molly smirks (Molly) It's already wet... (Morgan) true (Molly) And so...? (Morgan) so? (Molly) What would _you_ imagine happens now? (Morgan) I couldn't say... why don't you show me? * Molly smiles, nodding. She undoes his placket and lifts his shirt. The cool air is a shock * Morgan shivers briefly * Molly wraps her lips around his tip, positively hot in comparison * Morgan moans quietly * Molly clearly isn't playing teasing games today, making his whole length slick with her spit before taking him into her throat within half a minute of his placket being undone ** You are now disconnected ------------------------------ Logging started for 192.168.1.82:#7thsea on Tuesday, 15 February 2022 20:28:00 Greenwich Mean Time ------------------------------ ** You have joined #7thsea (Molly) [19:51] * Molly clearly isn't playing teasing games today, making his whole length slick with her spit before taking him into her throat within half a minute of his placket being undone * Morgan grunts * Molly carries on, grabbing him bottom to pull him deeper, which puts him a little off-balance. The light breeze is quite pleasant in his face * Morgan groans again before looking round to check the coast is clear (Molly) **There's nothing to be seen except a solo seagull milling about at the tideline (Molly) [You want this, or you want to have me?] (Morgan) [I want you] * Molly gently draws her mouth from his manhood and stands up. He can see from her pupils and flushing that she is very aroused by all this. * Morgan pushes her back against the shed, his mouth going to hers before moving down her neck * Molly moans, tipping her head to the side to give his mouth a great area to work with. She gathers the layers of her skirts up to her waist, then shivers a little, exposed to the cool air as he was, new to her as their intimacy against the tree in late summer rather than late autumn. * Morgan lifts her, pressing himself against him (Morgan) her* * Molly kisses him roughly, tilting her hips to find the right angle * Morgan pushes himself into her, to the hilt * Molly moans against his mouth, her legs wrapping round him a little higher than before, in a way that brings her hips closer to the position where he had hitched her legs over his arms, giving him extra depth. * Morgan starts thrusting into her * Molly continues to kiss him, though the stroking of her tongue to his stops when she climaxes around him, her whole body clenching. * Morgan groans, swelling inside her before burying himself deep, pulsing within her (Molly) **Aside from her moaning, the only other sound is the rhythmic crash of the waves onto the shore. She peaks again, this time with her forehead in the curve of his neck with a intense whimpering of pleasure * Morgan holds her in place for a few moments before gently lowering her to the ground * Molly smiles, looking dazed and happy (Molly) Was that as good as you were imagining, my love? (Morgan) better, as always * Molly nods "I am glad you feel so" (Morgan) and you? * Molly nods (Molly) Absolutely. I can never quite imagine just how perfect you feel within me * Morgan blushes before doing up his placket (Molly) It embarrasses you that I feel so? (Morgan) No (Molly) Yet you blush * Molly pulls her skirts back down, shaking them out * Morgan nods (Molly) Might you tell me why? (Morgan) its.. I don't know, its just something so intimate * Molly looks thoughtful (Molly) I don't think a husband and wife should be so reserved with each other when it comes to intimacy... (Morgan) No, and I daresay someone less reserved would be able to do that * Molly looks at him * Molly looks away, picking up her shoes (Morgan) what troubles you? (Molly) I will be more careful, if you dislike it (Morgan) No, blossom... it is just somewhere I have not reached yet, thats all * Molly starts to walk (Molly) But it _is_ somewhere you wish to reach? * Morgan nods * Molly nods (Molly) Alright. Perhaps my ideas of what a happy marriage should be like in that regard are not what most have (Morgan) how do you mean? * Molly holds out her hand * Morgan takes it, pulling her close before putting his arm around her (Molly) Perhaps other couples do not speak about being intimate much. Perhaps it is all unspoken, just something that happens quietly and sweetly, late at night and only ever in bed, never spoken about except for in the most necessary of situations * Molly wraps her arm around his waist (Morgan) I would say to ask Inga... he makes her blush repeatedly * Molly smiles (Molly) No, I know they are incredibly open with each other (Morgan) yet she blushes... you think she is uncomfortable each time? * Molly shakes her head (Molly) No... * Morgan nods (Morgan) quite * Molly nods (Molly) I just do not want you to think ill of me, or find me too... far from your own reservation * Morgan snorts (Morgan) no * Molly nods slowly (Molly) You do not feel that? (Morgan) what, ill of you? (Molly) That I am too far from your level of reservation, that I should be more reserved and more innocent? (Morgan) No (Molly) I'm sure by now it shouldn't concern me, but... *she shrugs* * Morgan stops, pulling her to him and kissing her hard for a moment before letting her go again (Morgan) I know my love * Molly looks a little surprised, but is also blushing (Molly) I... uhh... thank you (Morgan) You're blushing... you are uncomfortable? * Molly tucks herself back under his arm (Molly) Surprised, delighted (Morgan) Then you understand (Molly) That is how you feel when I make intimate compliments about you? * Morgan nods * Molly nods, smiling (Molly) Alright. That is a relief * Morgan nods (Morgan) I'm sorry I made you doubt that (Molly) No, it's complicated, that is all (Morgan) isn't it always * Molly nods sadly (Molly) Yes. But I think maybe we are making progress? (Morgan) I have no doubt of that * Molly smiles (Molly) I am glad you can see or feel it * Morgan nods (Molly) That is what I was discussing with Inga this morning, you and I, growing closer again * Morgan nods (Molly) Somehow, when you returned after finding Dau, we were closer (Morgan) I suppose so... a large weight had been removed from me I think * Molly nods (Molly) And we are working through my propensity to hide things when I worry I will upset you, and I will continue to work at that * Morgan nods * Molly watches the waves a few minutes before she says (Molly) The way I see it now, we have so much future to be concerned over, we need to move forward completely together. We cannot deal with whatever may prevent the convergence if there is too big a gap between us. (Morgan) I suspect you're right * Molly pulls a little tighter to him (Molly) We are where we are. It might not be what you would have chosen, but I can not fix that. Not by keeping my heart protected, nor from having stayed just as your mistress. It's not on my shoulders to do so. It is on my shoulders simply to be myself, to love you fearlessly, and to be at your side for the future. It isn't my weight to carry. * Morgan nods * Molly doesn't see it, based on her gaze still being on the rolling waves (Molly) I have to give myself that freedom (Morgan) Freedom? * Molly nods (Molly) Yes (Morgan) Hadn't thought of it like that (Molly) In what way? (Morgan) that its a sort of freedom for you (Molly) Does that trouble you? (Morgan) No, I cant say it does * Molly nods (Molly) I should say, it is a very new thought for me. It's really only been the last few days. (Morgan) Why do you think that is? * Molly thinks on it a minute (Molly) I'm not sure (Molly) Perhaps it is from all this here, the way things could have been but aren't * Morgan nods (Molly) Perhaps it is just that things are changing again (Morgan) maybe * Molly smiles up at him (Molly) Do _you_ have any theory? (Morgan) None that I really want to consider * Molly frowns (Molly) I must confess, that troubles me (Morgan) why? (Molly) I am being open, and it seems you do not wish to be? (Morgan) Its not that I don't wish to discuss it with you... I do not wish to think about it. In a few days maybe * Molly nods (Molly) Alright, liebling (Molly) I think it is just time for me to let it go. I can support you with your healing without feeling that I am somehow out of place here * Morgan nods (Molly) Is that alright? *she chews her lip a moment* * Morgan nods (Morgan) of course it is * Molly stops, looking at him sincerely and seriously, clearly conveying that his permission is very important "It is alright to let that go now?" (Morgan) You, my darling, are not out of place, you can let it go * Molly nods, bowing her head (Molly) Thank you (Morgan) You don't need to be thanking me my love * Molly looks up, tears in her eyes (Molly) It is important to me. (Morgan) why blossom? (Molly) Because if you needed me to keep carrying it, if you thought I ought to, I still would. Even when it is heavy, I would carry that, for you. * Morgan shakes his head * Molly nods (Molly) If you are sure. (Morgan) I am * Molly suddenly kisses him. It's not passionate, per se, but it is firm and intense and serious. His feet feel a little cooler * Morgan puts a hand to her face, eventually backing up and looking down (Molly) **the tide has come in a little, and they are an inch deep in sea water. Molly smiles** (Molly) Five hundred and one couples... * Morgan nods * Molly takes his hand (Molly) I love you. (Morgan) I love you, endlessly * Molly blushes, smiling (Molly) I am going to hold you to that. * Morgan nods (Molly) **She cleans off the sand in a pool and gets her shoes back on before they walk back. She stays close by his side, quiet but looking very happy. Significantly happier than when they left, and probably happy enough to raise suspicions when they will get to the others** (Molly) How do _you_ feel now? * Morgan sniggers (Morgan) satiated * Molly giggles, nudging him with her arm to his "I meant something deeper, but I will take it" * Molly closes her eyes a moment (Morgan) Yes, you did (Molly) That came out ruder than I intended! (Morgan) I might have noticed * Molly giggles "I'll do it again later too" * Morgan nods (Molly) I'm glad you whisked me away for a nice walk on the beach, my love * Morgan nods (Morgan) as am I * Molly smiles (Molly) Now you will have a fond memory of the Insel Fish Festival * Morgan nods (Morgan) I'm disappointed there isn't a juggler * Molly giggles, then gently mimics him in a cute way, saying something he has said about celebrations before "You notice they never have an axe throwing competition?" * Morgan nods (Morgan) they could at least have a juggler (Molly) If we could find you some balls, you could do it * Morgan nods * Molly smiles, shaking her head (Molly) If Heinzharold heard me saying that... (Molly) **they're getting closer to the crowd now (Morgan) oh I plan to tell him (Molly) Oh no! You wouldn't! * Molly is smiling, despite her protests (Morgan) wouldn't I? * Molly watches him intently but as if she is staring two inches behind his eyes and straight into his brain (Molly) No, you probably would * Morgan grins * Molly smiles, continuing to walk with him, putting her hand in his again (Molly) I suppose I can bear it, if it will bring you enjoyment * Morgan shrugs (Morgan) maybe it'll slip my mind * Molly smiles (Molly) Maybe you'll be so distracted by the boat house that you'll forget?

We are cutting it a little fine I think. *she looks behind them before putting her hand on his back and brushing it dowards* * Morgan nods * Molly smiles up at him, brushing harder "You have sandy heel prints on your coat..." * Morgan shrugs (Morgan) oh well (Molly) You would not mind the whole world seeing that? (Morgan) Not particularly * Molly smiles, nodding (Molly) I like that (Morgan) oh? * Molly speaks so simply, as if it is the obvious truth "You are mine." * Morgan nods (Molly) **Inga is the first to spot them, waving.
