**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 15 00:03:48 2022 Apr 15 00:03:48 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 00:04:17 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 15 13:06:37 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 13:06:56 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 15 13:07:00 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 13:09:59 **he starts to dream. Having asked Molly to be his mistress, being denied, discovering she turned Kai down when drunk because she loves Morgan, he's had to spend the day keeping noble guests in line and getting disapproving looks from Catherine whilst Molly has been God-knows-where thinking about whether she will accept him at the cost of never Apr 15 13:09:59 being a wife or mother. His mood is rather tetchy by the evening when the guests are all in the great hall** Apr 15 13:10:43 * MollyK is now known as Catherine Apr 15 13:10:54 * Catherine is stood beside him Apr 15 13:11:40 * Morgan watches the guests Apr 15 13:12:15 I want you to make peace with Colonel Dau. Apr 15 13:13:00 I thought you might Apr 15 13:14:08 He is entitled to make an offer to Molly, it is not down to you to make yourself in charge of everyone's romantic lives. Apr 15 13:15:20 He made an offer, she turned him down, he would not take no for an answer. You would have me stop protecting her? Apr 15 13:15:44 I would have you not make him an enemy Apr 15 13:16:34 Then he should respect the answer he was given Apr 15 13:16:59 **Curtis taps his glass for attention, and when he has it he looks proud of himself* Apr 15 13:17:35 * Morgan sighs Apr 15 13:18:18 **Curtis taps his glass for attention, and when he has it he looks proud of himself** My lords and ladies, I would like to announce that Lady DeBurgh has accepted my offer of Marriage **Rebecca is scanning the room, looking for adequate levels of people being impressed. There is some polite clapping, including Catherine beside Morgan** Apr 15 13:19:19 * Morgan stays still, arms crossed as they had been Apr 15 13:19:40 Curtis: Lady Torrington has graciously given permission for us to wed here in April, and my bride-... *he looks at Rebecca* _future bride_, I'm sorry, my dear… -and I would like you all to join us. Apr 15 13:22:30 **Kurt suggests a toast and it is given. The engaged couple look very happy as the guests go to pass on their congratulations** Apr 15 13:22:30 Cath: What do you think, Morgan? Apr 15 13:22:49 I'm sure it isn't my place to comment my lady Apr 15 13:23:26 **The party continues with cheerful music being played and lots of chatter. Rebecca and Curtis come to Morgan. She looks arrogant and boastful, Jaeger looks much the same, and very different to the excited naivety after he had proposed to Molly. Funny how she had not turned down a practical marriage with this man but wouldn't accept being a kept Apr 15 13:23:26 mistress to a man she supposedly loves…** Apr 15 13:24:16 * Morgan watches them Apr 15 13:24:37 Curtis: We will see you at the wedding, I expect? Apr 15 13:25:53 Unless lady Torrington sees fit to replace me, aye Apr 15 13:26:31 Rebecca, looking smug: Where is Molly? I expected her to be here to see this. Apr 15 13:27:21 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 13:27:29 couldn't say Apr 15 13:28:03 Curtis: I am sure it would only upset her to see how happy everyone is for us Apr 15 13:28:18 *Rebecca looks very much like that is her hope* Apr 15 13:29:13 No, I wouldn't imagine things of no consequence bother her overmuch Apr 15 13:29:41 *Curtis and Rebecca both look offended, walking off* Apr 15 13:29:48 * Catherine looks to Morgan Apr 15 13:30:01 What is your problem tonight? That was rude. Apr 15 13:31:43 * Morgan looks at her for a moment before looking back at the guests Apr 15 13:31:48 Nothing Apr 15 13:32:10 * Catherine shakes her head Apr 15 13:32:33 You're being prickly about Molly. Do you love her? Apr 15 13:33:06 _that_ is of no consequence Apr 15 13:33:21 It would explain your ill humour Apr 15 13:34:52 Perhaps you've not noticed, but my humour is _always_ ill. It comes from my intolerance of people like _lady_ deburgh hoping to hurt others. Dau thinking he can just snap his fingers and anyone or anything he desires becomes his to own. Apr 15 13:35:41 You're not normally this bad. Where is she? Apr 15 13:36:17 as I've said, I've no idea Apr 15 13:37:33 Well is she coming back? Apr 15 13:37:50 I don't know. Apr 15 13:39:56 * Catherine sighs. The music continues, turning into a waltz. Jaeger leads Rebecca to the middle to dance with her, and the guests watch. The couple check they are being admired Apr 15 13:41:03 If your ladyship would like, I will endeavour to find out Apr 15 13:41:33 * Catherine nods. Molly speaks from behind Morgan "Did I miss something important?" Apr 15 13:41:58 * Morgan rolls his shoulders Apr 15 13:42:00 found her Apr 15 13:42:39 * Catherine nods, watching his expression curiously Apr 15 13:43:10 * Morgan moves so Molly can stand between them, his expression carefully neutral Apr 15 13:43:42 **The first thing he notices is that she is wearing the black, brown and gold Eisen dress he sent to her. Her shoulders are squared, her chin is tilted up, and she looks unbroken by the loss of her ship and the conflict between them. Her hair looks so red in the candlelight as it trails over her right shoulder and onto the pale skin of her Apr 15 13:43:42 cleavage. She watches Morgan's expression** I am here... Apr 15 13:44:55 * Morgan nods momentarily Apr 15 13:45:28 that dress suits you Apr 15 13:46:00 M: Thank you, it's beautiful Apr 15 13:46:07 * Catherine is now known as Molly Apr 15 13:46:32 **The big folds of her skirt conceal from all around them how the back of her hand purposefully caresses the back of his* Apr 15 13:46:52 * Morgan looks at her, frowning briefly Apr 15 13:46:55 do we need to talk? Apr 15 13:47:05 * Molly nods Apr 15 13:47:08 Yes Apr 15 13:47:19 * Morgan nods briefly before looking at Catherine Apr 15 13:47:22 excuse us Apr 15 13:47:50 *Catherine excuses them, getting more wine from a servant, and Molly waits for Morgan to lead the way* Apr 15 13:48:07 * Morgan heads out of the hall Apr 15 13:48:23 The library should be empty? Apr 15 13:48:49 * Morgan nods, heading that way Apr 15 13:48:59 god knows most of them wouldn't know what to do with a book if I threw it at them Apr 15 13:50:03 * Molly goes in, and shuts the door carefully behind him. She looks up at him in the candlelight Apr 15 13:50:20 I have been thinking... Apr 15 13:50:28 * Morgan nods, watching her Apr 15 13:51:32 I want to be your mistress. Apr 15 13:52:01 You are sure? Apr 15 13:53:06 * Molly nods Apr 15 13:53:27 Yes, I am sure Apr 15 13:53:47 even though it did not offer the things you wanted... Apr 15 13:54:08 I can live without them, but I cannot live without you. Apr 15 13:54:25 * Morgan nods slowly, offering his hand Apr 15 13:54:43 * Molly takes it, watching him closely Apr 15 13:55:35 * Morgan brings it to his mouth, kissing her knuckles Apr 15 13:56:03 * Molly watches his mouth on her skin, shivering a little Apr 15 13:58:28 I don't.... how do we continue now? Apr 15 13:59:04 * Molly blinks a moment, then says quietly Apr 15 13:59:12 Right now, you kiss me... Apr 15 13:59:20 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 15 13:59:30 thats not entirely what I meant but... I can get onboard with that Apr 15 13:59:39 * Molly smiles Apr 15 14:01:18 After that... I don't know... I have never been a mistress before Apr 15 14:01:51 * Morgan pulls her to him, curling his fingers into her hair as he presses his lips against hers Apr 15 14:02:53 * Molly makes a little mmm sound, kissing him back with her arms wrapping around his waist Apr 15 14:03:44 * Morgan kisses her soundly for a few minutes before pulling away slightly Apr 15 14:05:07 * Molly breathes heavily, looking smitten. She runs her tongue slightly over her lower lip Apr 15 14:05:50 Before we go to bed together, I will need to acquire some herbs to prevent any consequences Apr 15 14:06:52 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:06:59 alright Apr 15 14:08:38 * Molly nods "You do want that?" Apr 15 14:08:58 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:09:03 maybe not... just yet... but yes Apr 15 14:10:02 * Molly nods Apr 15 14:10:15 But you do wish to kiss me? Apr 15 14:10:36 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:10:39 and somewhat more Apr 15 14:10:59 * Molly looks confused Apr 15 14:11:17 There is something that happens between the two things? Apr 15 14:11:45 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:11:47 can be, aye Apr 15 14:12:08 * Molly looks confused still, but smiles Apr 15 14:12:13 How strange! Apr 15 14:12:41 How do we proceed with... that lot, with people knowing? Apr 15 14:16:03 I have no idea. We would need to think about whether we would share a room here, or find a place to live... *her gaze drops to his lips before she blinks again* ... I do not know how we proceed Apr 15 14:16:28 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:16:46 There's a cottage on the grounds. Once Lady Torrington is less annoyed with me, I'll speak to her about it Apr 15 14:17:05 * Molly nods Apr 15 14:17:21 We... we should probably return to the others... Apr 15 14:18:04 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:18:24 You'd best know... *he frowns* Jaeger has proposed to deBergh Apr 15 14:18:35 * Molly shrugs Apr 15 14:18:42 I don't care Apr 15 14:19:05 * Morgan nods Apr 15 14:19:05 good Apr 15 14:19:21 * Molly watches him Apr 15 14:20:26 All I care for is you, but I cannot even think straight alone with you here... my mind is racing and nothing in it speaks of restraint or of caring about other people's relationships Apr 15 14:20:48 * Morgan kisses her knuckles again Apr 15 14:21:28 * Molly exhales slowly Apr 15 14:32:28 Do you want to hide that we are together from everyone else? Apr 15 14:32:47 I want only to make you happy Apr 15 14:33:16 You have Apr 15 14:33:50 Then I will do whatever you prefer. If you wish to be public, we shall Apr 15 14:34:13 I just imagine certain people will think you are... settling for less Apr 15 14:35:03 * Molly shrugs Apr 15 14:35:19 I will have you, in whatever way that has to happen. Apr 15 14:35:51 * Morgan nods, moving to open the door Apr 15 14:36:40 * Molly walks very close to him as she goes through the door Apr 15 14:38:04 * Morgan follows her out, taking her hand as he leads the way back to the Hall Apr 15 14:39:27 * Molly holds it firmly. The light in the hallway seems slightly blue tone Apr 15 14:40:11 * Morgan tilts his head, considering the light Apr 15 14:40:40 *It slowly dawns on him that this is all just a dream* Apr 15 14:41:34 * Morgan nods to himself before trying to wake up Apr 15 14:43:08 *he manages it. He's not been asleep very long. Everything is peaceful* Apr 15 14:43:49 * Morgan shifts in the bed, trying to get back to sleep Apr 15 14:45:03 **He starts to dream, back before the wedding, the morning after Alarice went missing and he had returned to find a sleeping Molly on his couch, their attraction leading to him making a comment about using his mouth upon her and only a demonstration sufficing. So here he is, about to demonstrate, having given her cushions to make her comfortably Apr 15 14:45:04 reclined. He is on his knees in front of the couch, and her shift is raised to the top of her parted thighs. She watches him with fast shallow breaths within her flushed chest, her legs trembling. She's wide-eyed and looking aroused. Apr 15 14:45:04 "Are you sure you wish to kiss me in such an intimate place, and you will not find the idea less appealing when you are feeling less… enthused?" Apr 15 14:47:08 * Morgan kisses inside her thigh Apr 15 14:47:21 my only concern is that you do not feel uncomfortable doing this... Apr 15 14:47:54 I do... I want this Apr 15 14:48:11 * Molly watches him with fascination Apr 15 14:48:43 * Morgan kisses higher Apr 15 14:48:45 you are sure? Apr 15 14:49:18 Mmmmhmmm.... You are not new to this… you have done this to women before? Apr 15 14:49:48 * Morgan kisses where the thigh meets the crotch Apr 15 14:49:57 I have done it before yes Apr 15 14:50:23 * Molly gasps at the sensation Apr 15 14:50:49 That is so warm! Apr 15 14:51:06 * Morgan nods, sucking on the skin like a gentle lovebite Apr 15 14:51:14 if that bothers you there is still time to stop Apr 15 14:52:16 If that bothered me we would be unable to consummate our marriage. I do not want you to stop Apr 15 14:52:42 * Morgan nods slightly, planting his lips firmly around her clit and sucking Apr 15 14:54:01 * Molly moans, her thighs trying to close Apr 15 14:54:07 Oh my god... Apr 15 14:55:25 * Morgan moves forward, running the flat of his tongue over her before going to alternating these two techniques Apr 15 14:57:12 * Molly fidgets a little, bringing her legs onto his shoulders. She makes sounds that mix surprise and enjoyment Apr 15 14:57:53 I knew... from the girls... on the Coral... about doing this to a man... but I did not know... about this! Apr 15 14:59:17 * Morgan nods, combining a firm sucking with laying his tongue against her clit and humming Apr 15 15:00:07 *Molly's moans increase, and become closer together. He can guess that she is likely to peak soon, and knows that she has experienced something like climax when waking from dreams. But they have never discussed whether she has given herself that pleasure before, so he doesn't know if she knows what to expect* Apr 15 15:00:51 * Morgan stops for a moment Apr 15 15:00:55 do you wish me to continue? Apr 15 15:01:37 Yes! Please, it feels amazing! Apr 15 15:02:08 You... realise the conclusion that will be reached? Apr 15 15:02:40 Well eventually you will have to stop, when you get tired Apr 15 15:02:50 I meant... your orgasm... Apr 15 15:03:27 _My_ orgasm? That is a thing? Apr 15 15:03:40 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 15 15:03:53 you will trust me? Whatever you feel, I will not harm you Apr 15 15:04:18 * Molly nods Apr 15 15:05:10 I trust you, completely Apr 15 15:05:34 * Morgan nods, once more assaulting her body with his mouth Apr 15 15:05:55 *she grips the edge of the couch, close, so close, her body gearing up as she becomes more of an active participant, rolling her hips to grind gently to his mouth, desire driving a lack of inhibition about enjoying this to the full* Apr 15 15:06:38 * Morgan wraps his arms around her thighs, pulling her against him as he tries to push her over the edge Apr 15 15:09:12 **Her thighs by his ears do muffle some of the sound of her moaning "Ohhhhh!" right at the verge of peaking, but doesn't stop him hearing the door open and both his parents saying "Oh!" at the same time. Apr 15 15:09:57 * Morgan separates from her quickly Apr 15 15:11:11 * Molly pulls her shift down as much as she can, and they close the door from the other side, leaving him and Molly alone Apr 15 15:11:18 Oh dear. Apr 15 15:11:54 * Morgan nod Apr 15 15:11:58 oh dear indeed Apr 15 15:12:24 * Molly takes a deep breath, chewing her lip Apr 15 15:12:35 Now what do we do? Apr 15 15:15:09 well... my fathers going to kill me so I suggest we just... stay put Apr 15 15:15:24 * Molly nods Apr 15 15:15:41 We will sit nicely and wait for him? Apr 15 15:16:31 Probably Apr 15 15:16:44 Only probably? Apr 15 15:17:10 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 15:17:18 the noises you were making were rather music to my ears Apr 15 15:17:35 * Molly blushes, smiling Apr 15 15:17:45 Were they? Apr 15 15:17:52 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:17:55 intoxicating Apr 15 15:19:21 * Molly 's brows come together, looking down at him Apr 15 15:19:38 You would want to continue? Apr 15 15:20:01 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:20:31 its a tough one... I do not like to incur their wrath any further but... since I'm already in trouble... Apr 15 15:21:13 If you are to get called out, it should at least be with happy memories? *she smiles* Apr 15 15:21:44 * Morgan nods, getting up and locking the door Apr 15 15:22:06 *he can hear his parents talking outside* Apr 15 15:22:24 * Morgan stands still, listening Apr 15 15:22:49 A: What the hell is he playing at?! *he sounds angry* Apr 15 15:23:33 V: You know precisely what he is playing at, it has not been so many years that you cannot recall. *she sounds calmer than her husband* Apr 15 15:24:34 * Morgan carries on listening Apr 15 15:29:01 *Adalbrecht sounds to be pacing* He should know better! V: We should go back to my morning room and have some tea. We can ask them to come to us in a little while… Apr 15 15:30:50 * Morgan sighs quietly Apr 15 15:31:19 A: And leave them doing what they are doing?! Apr 15 15:31:20 V: Yes we should. They are young and in love, they are not hurting anyone. If he wishes to make her happy in that way, then good for him. Apr 15 15:31:39 * Morgan smiles slightly, biting his lip Apr 15 15:32:45 A: Verity! You are serious?! *he sounds shocked and outraged* Apr 15 15:33:42 V: If we want them to have lots of children for the future, Molly enjoying the process will help that. Leave the young people be, Adalbrecht. They'll be married in two weeks. Apr 15 15:34:57 A: Well, I don't like it! *he sounds grumpy and a little petulant* Apr 15 15:35:16 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 15 15:35:46 V: You do not have to, as long as she does. Now come along, dear. Apr 15 15:36:26 *Adalbrecht is still grumbling, but he can hear them going further from the door at last* Apr 15 15:37:11 * Morgan moves away from the door Apr 15 15:37:40 * Molly watches him, looking a little concerned Apr 15 15:37:46 Are you alright? Apr 15 15:38:02 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:38:06 my father is livid Apr 15 15:38:40 * Molly looks sad "I am sorry, I have gotten you into trouble" Apr 15 15:39:05 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 15:39:20 I rather think we'll have mother on side there Apr 15 15:39:48 * Molly blushes Apr 15 15:40:08 It will be very awkward Apr 15 15:40:21 undoubtedly Apr 15 15:40:48 * Molly watches him Apr 15 15:40:59 Do you need to go and deal with it? Apr 15 15:41:17 No, I think they're going to send for us in a while Apr 15 15:41:32 * Molly nods Apr 15 15:41:37 Alright, liebling Apr 15 15:43:19 That rather leaves us with what to do in the meantime Apr 15 15:44:09 * Molly smiles Apr 15 15:44:18 What would you wish to do? Apr 15 15:44:28 would would _you_ wish to? Apr 15 15:44:40 * Molly blushes Apr 15 15:44:44 Ummmm... Apr 15 15:45:11 ummm? Apr 15 15:45:46 I uhh... would like you to continue, if that is your wish? Apr 15 15:46:00 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:46:11 You wish to find out what heights you can reach? Apr 15 15:46:26 * Molly nods Apr 15 15:46:34 Yes, I do Apr 15 15:46:37 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:46:40 then lets do that Apr 15 15:47:05 * Molly nods Apr 15 15:47:46 Yes, please Apr 15 15:48:10 * Morgan nods, getting back into position and beginning the process over again Apr 15 15:49:46 * Molly seems less surprised by it this time, and though she stays quite quiet to not wake Varick, she doesn't hide any of the little sounds his mouth draws from her. She's soon back to very close Apr 15 15:50:40 * Morgan redoubles his efforts, running his hands over her Apr 15 15:51:16 * there is a single chime of the dawn watch Apr 15 15:51:38 * Morgan wakes up Apr 15 15:52:30 *everything is still quiet and peaceful. She is asleep curled up behind him Apr 15 15:54:13 * Morgan sighs before getting out of bed Apr 15 15:54:59 * Molly stirs when he moves Apr 15 15:55:13 Oh, is it time to get up already? Apr 15 15:55:18 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:56:18 its coming on for dawn Apr 15 15:56:43 * Molly nods, stretching Apr 15 15:57:00 I suppose I should get dressed and ready Apr 15 15:57:23 I doubt you'd be comfortable travelling naked, aye Apr 15 15:57:41 It would be a little chilly Apr 15 15:57:56 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:58:53 * Molly nods, getting up and running her fingers through her hair Apr 15 15:59:04 How did you sleep? Apr 15 15:59:24 * Morgan nods Apr 15 15:59:26 not bad Apr 15 15:59:41 * Molly smiles Apr 15 15:59:48 No nightmares? Apr 15 16:00:01 Some difficulties but... turned out alright Apr 15 16:01:09 * Molly nods Apr 15 16:01:34 I am glad it was a reasonable night for a change Apr 15 16:01:37 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:01:38 me too Apr 15 16:01:57 * Morgan pulls his trousers on Apr 15 16:02:11 my last dream, I was using my mouth upon you... and my parents walked in Apr 15 16:02:20 * Molly smiles Apr 15 16:02:23 Oh dear Apr 15 16:04:56 * Morgan nods, putting his shirt on Apr 15 16:04:57 quite Apr 15 16:05:24 It's very nice that you dream of doing that to me though! Apr 15 16:06:49 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:06:52 I certainly enjoy it Apr 15 16:07:32 * Molly blushes, looking for her clothes Apr 15 16:07:42 I am rather pleased by that Apr 15 16:07:53 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:08:22 If Mina still takes Edward... we'll be going straight to Graben? Apr 15 16:09:30 I... I don't know... perhaps a day or two longer in Innesbruck and Koln? Apr 15 16:10:29 Then I'd best take my Zweihander Apr 15 16:10:49 * Molly puts on a shift that only just reaches her bottom Apr 15 16:10:57 That's a good idea Apr 15 16:11:04 * Morgan watches her for a few moments Apr 15 16:12:06 * Molly watches him as she finds a pair of her modified trousers with the hidden access Apr 15 16:14:03 Will it be hard to handle? Apr 15 16:14:23 potentially... its not the most... wieldy thing in the world Apr 15 16:14:52 * Molly nods Apr 15 16:15:29 I will have your uniform brought in the coach Apr 15 16:16:18 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:16:21 thank you my love Apr 15 16:16:40 * Molly smiles, finding her blouse Apr 15 16:16:53 Am I delaying you? Apr 15 16:17:27 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:17:28 yes Apr 15 16:18:10 * Molly starts slowly doing up the little pearl buttons Apr 15 16:18:47 I would not wish to hinder you overmuch Apr 15 16:19:47 * Morgan nods, watching her fingers Apr 15 16:19:50 mmhmmm Apr 15 16:21:12 * Molly watches him, fingers becoming even slower, running over each bead-shaped button with a circular caress Apr 15 16:22:42 * Morgan sniggers slightly before pulling on his boots Apr 15 16:23:50 * Molly tucks the blouse into her waistband neatly Apr 15 16:24:21 We will get underway as soon as we can? Apr 15 16:25:06 Probably the best idea. Need to send the carriage to collect HeinzHarold Apr 15 16:25:15 * Molly nods Apr 15 16:25:31 I will deal with all of that, my love Apr 15 16:25:42 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:27:55 * Molly comes closer, picking up her waistcoat Apr 15 16:28:08 Do you wish to ride Xantha? Apr 15 16:28:26 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:29:07 * Molly nods, slipping her arms into it Apr 15 16:29:41 Although... I wonder if he'd be happier staying with Aurora again Apr 15 16:30:03 I will take one of the palominos, so it is up to you, my love Apr 15 16:30:32 I think I might as well... I imagine Edward will want to take Crusader Apr 15 16:30:44 * Molly nods Apr 15 16:30:53 He likes Crusader Apr 15 16:31:03 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:31:43 * Molly does up her buttons Apr 15 16:32:21 I won't be too long getting ready Apr 15 16:32:34 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:32:43 I'll go watch the sun rise and fetch my Zweihander Apr 15 16:32:53 Alright, my love Apr 15 16:34:39 * Morgan comes round the bed, kissing her hard before heading down to watch the sunrise Apr 15 16:35:50 *It is brisk outside, and the sun comes up slowly. Edward is out just after it is up, just carrying his normal sword Apr 15 16:35:55 * Molly is now known as Edward Apr 15 16:36:02 Good morning, Morgan Apr 15 16:36:13 mornin' Apr 15 16:36:44 Are you off soon? Apr 15 16:36:55 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:37:04 aye, we will be Apr 15 16:37:24 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:38:04 I will ensure Father is ready on time later this morning to follow on Apr 15 16:39:03 I believe he's planning to arrive around five Apr 15 16:39:31 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:39:47 That will indeed give you time to get everything in place Apr 15 16:40:04 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:40:14 I don't imagine there being too much to do Apr 15 16:40:30 * Edward nods, watching the sun Apr 15 16:41:02 I hope to have heard from Dekker this morning Apr 15 16:41:32 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:41:37 I haven't mentioned it to Molly yet Apr 15 16:42:08 I will say nothing to her Apr 15 16:44:34 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:44:36 thank you Apr 15 16:45:44 You want to provide a house, and have her make you a home *he smiles* Apr 15 16:46:21 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 15 16:46:31 I just didn't want to get her hopes up when he may have no intention of selling Apr 15 16:46:45 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:47:04 Theus save us from female disappointment! Apr 15 16:48:02 quite so Apr 15 16:48:57 How was Father last night? Apr 15 16:49:13 fine Apr 15 16:51:16 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:51:31 And you this morning? Apr 15 16:51:38 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 15 16:51:42 I'm alright... you? Apr 15 16:51:49 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:51:54 The same Apr 15 16:53:02 Good Apr 15 16:54:02 Don't worry about Varick, I will keep him safe. Should we expect Claudia, or will she be riding with you and Molly? Apr 15 16:54:26 She'll be with you and father Apr 15 16:55:42 * Edward nods Apr 15 16:56:07 I will see you there. Take care, stay on the route. Apr 15 16:56:15 * Morgan nods Apr 15 16:56:25 like I of all people will wander off into the trees... Apr 15 16:56:55 You wouldn't... your wife, however... *he smiles* Apr 15 16:57:15 * Morgan nods, looking out over the Sudlache Apr 15 16:57:28 * Edward watches him Apr 15 16:57:47 If Mina says yes, we might not be back here for a long time Apr 15 16:57:57 I was thinking that earlier Apr 15 16:58:50 * Edward nods, also watching the lake Apr 15 17:00:58 I've missed it here Apr 15 17:01:05 * Edward nods Apr 15 17:01:11 Me too Apr 15 17:02:35 What do you think Mothers thoughts are towards magic? Apr 15 17:03:10 * Edward shrugs Apr 15 17:03:26 I don't know. I haven't considered it Apr 15 17:04:05 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:07:08 She may have picked up a Sudlachenburg feeling about it, or she may be more Avalonian still Apr 15 17:10:38 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:13:15 * Edward turns to look in the direction of the coachyard where Molly is holding the reins of two palominos and watching them Apr 15 17:13:24 Someone looks keen to get mounted Apr 15 17:14:21 * Morgan snorts, laughing hard Apr 15 17:14:26 I'll tell her you said that Apr 15 17:14:40 * Edward laughs, surprised Apr 15 17:14:57 I referred to getting on the road Apr 15 17:15:25 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:15:27 I know Apr 15 17:15:37 * Morgan shoves his brother Apr 15 17:15:44 I'll see you there Apr 15 17:17:06 * Edward pushes him back, smiling Apr 15 17:17:35 Five o'clock, be dressed. Apr 15 17:17:52 pffff, we'll have taken care of that before we arrive there Apr 15 17:18:31 * Edward shakes his head "too much information!" He laughs Apr 15 17:20:57 * Morgan shrugs, trotting over to Molly Apr 15 17:22:22 * Edward is now known as Molly Apr 15 17:22:26 * Molly smiles Apr 15 17:23:00 Everything is dealt with, and I have food for on the way in case you want to stop and eat Apr 15 17:24:00 * Morgan watches her intently for a moment before smirking and strapping his Zweihander to the saddle Apr 15 17:24:29 * Molly watches him back, then blushes a moment before mounting up Apr 15 17:24:50 Is there anywhere we need to go on the way? Apr 15 17:25:30 I don't... think so... Apr 15 17:26:15 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:26:55 Alright, let's go then. We should be able to be there by two, if we are determined Apr 15 17:27:10 So, three, most likely Apr 15 17:27:32 * Molly pats the horses neck Apr 15 17:27:43 You aim to dawdle, my love? Apr 15 17:27:51 No, not exactly Apr 15 17:28:19 * Molly smiles, waiting for him to get in the saddle Apr 15 17:28:32 We will arrive when we arrive... Apr 15 17:28:46 * Morgan nods, pulling himself into the saddle Apr 15 17:29:55 * Molly takes a last look around before riding on Apr 15 17:30:24 Edward reminded me its going to be a while since we're back here Apr 15 17:30:32 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:31:13 Unless Mina no longer wants him, and we come back for prophets mass... but failing that, I would think it will not be until the summer Apr 15 17:31:33 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:34:09 Does that trouble you? Apr 15 17:34:29 surprisingly, yes Apr 15 17:34:53 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:35:12 There are always many places and people who need us Apr 15 17:35:26 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:35:28 apparently so Apr 15 17:36:04 * Molly thinks Apr 15 17:36:19 I think we need to be back sooner than that... Apr 15 17:36:28 oh? Apr 15 17:37:25 Sascha and Otto's twins are due in May, but twins are often early. We might need to make Sudlachenburg our aim for when we are back from Capperlucia Apr 15 17:37:40 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:37:48 alright Apr 15 17:38:23 We will not be back for Jarvie's birth, but she is young, it should be straightforward for her Apr 15 17:38:59 I hope so. I think she's rather nervous about it Apr 15 17:39:04 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:39:11 It is a daunting prospect Apr 15 17:39:37 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:40:07 Still, the reward at the end will make the pain and fear worthwhile Apr 15 17:40:40 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:40:42 aye Apr 15 17:43:00 But we will also wish to go to Morgan's Rock, Catterick, and Freiburg to see Jarvie Apr 15 17:43:39 its not... oh, never mind Apr 15 17:44:15 What, my love? Apr 15 17:45:40 its not called Morgans Rock Apr 15 17:46:40 Oh... I'm sorry, everyone says it so much I forget Apr 15 17:47:41 * Morgan nods Apr 15 17:48:15 You dislike it? Apr 15 17:48:50 Slightly... perhaps... Apr 15 17:49:10 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:49:23 I am sure no one means it in a bad way Apr 15 17:49:50 no, I don't doubt that Apr 15 17:54:35 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:56:24 We will plan for being here then, and land back in Freiburg to see Jarvie on the way. We can come through Kiev to check how things are but through Innesbruck rather than Bahnhof to save you enduring that route again? Apr 15 17:57:41 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 17:57:44 we'll have to see Apr 15 17:59:00 * Molly nods Apr 15 17:59:13 We have some sandy beaches to see first Apr 15 17:59:21 Yes, we do Apr 15 18:03:07 * Molly smiles, riding through the town that is just starting to be active. People wave to them and shout greetings. Molly seems to enjoy this, and seems to know the names of almost everyone Apr 15 18:07:01 People are so friendly here Apr 15 18:07:15 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:07:30 I think coming into town for service yesterday was a good idea Apr 15 18:07:38 * Molly nods Apr 15 18:08:00 I think you are right. We will do that in Gottkirchen too? Apr 15 18:08:11 * Molly smiles thoughtfully Apr 15 18:08:14 I plan to Apr 15 18:08:21 * Molly nods Apr 15 18:08:26 That will be nice Apr 15 18:08:32 I also plan to plonk myself outside the Vaticine church to greet their parishioners too Apr 15 18:08:48 * Molly smiles Apr 15 18:09:09 Yes. I want it to be a place where everyone feels valued and welcome Apr 15 18:09:50 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:09:51 me too Apr 15 18:12:07 * Molly smiles Apr 15 18:12:41 I look forward to the time when we can direct our attention to that Apr 15 18:12:49 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:24:22 ACTION carries on through the town and out onto the road east toward Innesbruck, the journey being about six solid hours. They first went this way by carriage, finding a toll bridge just after she had knelt on the carriage floor to please him and he had released deep in her mouth. That toll bridge was about an hour from the town, and still far in Apr 15 18:24:23 the distance. The weather is cold but dry, still some crunchy-looking frost in the grass beneath the trees. The land here is quite flat and forested, the route very quiet as the trade is most commonly between Innesbruck and Koln to its east. Apr 15 18:26:17 * Morgan hums quietly to himself Apr 15 18:27:50 * Molly is quite content just riding along beside him. Half an hour passes before she says Apr 15 18:27:56 Was Edward well? Apr 15 18:28:00 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:28:41 I wanted to see how he was after finding out about mother and fathers plans for the paintings but... he seemed very... tranquil and I did not wish to disturb that Apr 15 18:29:03 * Molly nods Apr 15 18:29:33 Given what it to come, I think we should let him be peaceful when he can Apr 15 18:29:43 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:30:06 indeed. I think, though, before long I'm going to have to start nudging him about magic... Apr 15 18:31:11 * Molly nods Apr 15 18:31:19 Before he finds out about Florrie Apr 15 18:31:25 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:31:39 He's not _as_ bothered as I expected... Apr 15 18:32:10 * Molly looks surprised Apr 15 18:32:21 I assumed he would be like your Father Apr 15 18:32:52 so did I... He's quite practical at times though... he knows healers were used during the war Apr 15 18:33:52 I think with father, though... I will need to get mother on side Apr 15 18:34:26 You have my help, however you need Apr 15 18:34:56 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:34:59 thank you Apr 15 18:35:56 My pleasure *she smiles* Apr 15 18:38:04 It would be simpler if we did not have to hide so much Apr 15 18:38:33 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:41:19 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 15 18:43:16 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 18:43:50 Do _you_ still dislike it all? Apr 15 18:44:23 a little, maybe... Apr 15 18:44:39 * MollyK nods Apr 15 18:44:53 It is so useful though Apr 15 18:45:05 I certainly can't deny that Apr 15 18:45:13 * MollyK nods Apr 15 18:45:43 If it allows me to keep our children safe and well, I welcome it Apr 15 18:47:24 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:47:57 Edward thinks Eiseners are so strange about it becausee of what out national magic was... Apr 15 18:48:16 That would make some sense Apr 15 18:48:28 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:48:33 practical, see Apr 15 18:48:48 You are very practical... Apr 15 18:50:31 Will you tell him about Alarice? Apr 15 18:50:45 I don't know Apr 15 18:50:59 * MollyK nods Apr 15 18:51:35 He may not take it well Apr 15 18:51:47 indeed Apr 15 18:53:01 He does need to know about Florrie. She is too young to be asked to hide it Apr 15 18:53:16 * Morgan nods Apr 15 18:53:21 absolutely he does Apr 15 18:54:17 I would not mind having her power Apr 15 18:54:46 when you are so powerful? Apr 15 18:54:53 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 18:55:04 As well, not instead Apr 15 18:55:24 ah... yes Apr 15 18:56:12 What about you? What would you love to do that you cannot? Apr 15 18:56:29 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 18:57:29 It would be fun to be able to look like other people Apr 15 18:58:17 that would've been useful during the war Apr 15 18:58:25 * MollyK nods Apr 15 18:58:57 Absolutely. You could have looked like Heinzharold Apr 15 19:00:14 * Morgan shudders Apr 15 19:00:19 horrifying idea Apr 15 19:00:54 Is it? *she smiles* you'd have to stay away from Inga though Apr 15 19:03:11 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:04:10 I have missed her Apr 15 19:04:47 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:04:54 only a few more hours Apr 15 19:05:34 She can tell me all about living with her mother-in-law for the weekend Apr 15 19:07:32 If she mentions it... I was definitely _not_ flirting with her Apr 15 19:07:56 * MollyK frowns a little Apr 15 19:08:09 Why would she mention that? Apr 15 19:09:05 We were talking about you... I said using logic to win an argument is my thing... she said that perhaps I was rubbing off... at which point she went bright red... Apr 15 19:09:30 * MollyK closes her eyes, biting her lip Apr 15 19:09:36 I see... Apr 15 19:09:45 that bothers you... Apr 15 19:10:03 No, I don't mind that Apr 15 19:10:47 obviously I started laughing, and HeinzHarold asked, in good humour, if I was flirting with his wife, so naturally... I said yes. It seemed the thing to do Apr 15 19:10:55 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 19:11:05 I am not cross, my love Apr 15 19:11:43 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:11:51 there is no-one but you for me Apr 15 19:12:02 * MollyK smiles warmly Apr 15 19:12:53 I am glad to hear that, but I did know. If there was any rubbing off to be done, I would be the reason you were doing so *she smirks* Apr 15 19:13:03 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:13:15 she had already suggested HeinzHarold is rubbing off on me beforehand Apr 15 19:13:24 * MollyK giggles Apr 15 19:13:29 Oh dear lord Apr 15 19:14:17 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:14:22 my caring about her worries you? Apr 15 19:15:12 No, not at all. She is our friend, and your best friend's wife. Even if you could bear the thought of being unfaithful to me, you would never do that to him Apr 15 19:16:37 I couldn't bear that thought... being unfaithful to you, not at all Apr 15 19:17:04 * MollyK nods Apr 15 19:17:28 I only hope that you never feel otherwise Apr 15 19:17:48 I won't Apr 15 19:18:09 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 19:18:45 You know I feel the same? Apr 15 19:20:04 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:20:52 Good. I do think Heinzharold is rubbing off on you, just not in that way Apr 15 19:20:59 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:21:03 I'm inclined to agree Apr 15 19:21:53 As long as you are happier, I am glad of it Apr 15 19:22:20 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:23:07 I do think Inga would have been a good choice for you though Apr 15 19:23:19 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 19:23:20 maybe Apr 15 19:24:03 She is loving, and very calm. She is not so prone as I am to feeling things very deeply Apr 15 19:24:20 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 19:24:27 I'm not sure you're right on that last bit Apr 15 19:24:35 No? Why? Apr 15 19:25:11 Just a feeling I've got Apr 15 19:25:26 * MollyK shrugs Apr 15 19:25:42 I can be too emotional, I know Apr 15 19:26:24 No, I wouldn't say that Apr 15 19:26:44 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 19:27:00 I am glad you think so Apr 15 19:27:08 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:30:19 * MollyK rides quietly a bit longer, looking at the trees and the birds as they go Apr 15 19:31:05 I have a flask with coffee, if you take it we can have it hot? Apr 15 19:31:37 of course Apr 15 19:33:52 * MollyK hands it over, her leg touching his when their horses are side by side Apr 15 19:34:24 * Morgan concentrates on the flask, handing it back once the contents are hot Apr 15 19:36:23 * MollyK sips some Apr 15 19:36:27 Perfect Apr 15 19:37:18 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:40:14 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 15 19:42:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 19:42:54 [19:33:10] • ​MollyK​ hands it back Apr 15 19:43:03 [19:33:19] MollyK: That should warm us up nicely Apr 15 19:43:24 * Morgan sips it Apr 15 19:43:27 aye, I'd say so Apr 15 19:44:26 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 19:44:41 It seems strange travelling just the two of us Apr 15 19:44:45 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:44:50 it certainly does Apr 15 19:45:05 It has been quite some time, hasn't it? Apr 15 19:45:23 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:45:28 a very long time blossom Apr 15 19:45:40 It must have been early August, when we rode from Innesbruck to Sudlachenburg for Inga and Heinzharold's wedding Apr 15 19:45:47 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:45:50 sounds about right Apr 15 19:45:59 * MollyK nods, smiling Apr 15 19:46:15 We are behaving very well, given those circumstances Apr 15 19:46:24 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:46:28 I know... Apr 15 19:46:43 Are you proud of us, mon petit chou? Apr 15 19:47:49 proud and dismayed Apr 15 19:48:10 Dismayed? Apr 15 19:48:32 you'd think we'd have taken advantage of the solitude by now Apr 15 19:49:09 We've been riding an hour so far... Apr 15 19:49:17 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:49:56 That would take us several miles from Sudlachenburg, but we are not yet in your Freiarrdom I think Apr 15 19:50:26 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:50:28 not yet no Apr 15 19:50:43 * MollyK watches him with mischief Apr 15 19:51:29 You would not wish to take advantage of the solitude with me out in the woods that belong to your Father...? Apr 15 19:52:27 in the woods... Apr 15 19:52:42 There's nothing but woods here Apr 15 19:53:11 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:53:12 true Apr 15 19:54:31 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 19:54:59 It is only another five hours til Innesbruck *she sounds teasing* Apr 15 19:55:13 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:55:23 Edward has requested we make sure we are dressed by the time they arrive Apr 15 19:55:32 * MollyK giggles Apr 15 19:55:48 That would assume we actually got undressed! Apr 15 19:55:58 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:56:03 he's such an innocent boy Apr 15 19:56:39 For a man who is a long way from being a virgin, his innocence surprises me Apr 15 19:56:52 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:57:28 * MollyK glances at him a moment before smiling Apr 15 19:57:55 Maybe to ensure we are dressed in time, I'd need to start undressing earlier... Apr 15 19:58:21 * Morgan nods Apr 15 19:58:41 * MollyK starts undoing the buttons of her cloak Apr 15 19:59:21 * Morgan watches her, drinking the coffee Apr 15 20:00:09 * MollyK pushes the sides back a little before starting on her waistcoat, smiling cheerfully Apr 15 20:01:47 If you're expecting me to stop you, you're betting on the wrong horse... which won't help you if you're bare chested and someone appears on the road Apr 15 20:03:02 * MollyK takes off her waistcoat from under her cloak Apr 15 20:03:20 And that, mein sehnsucht, is why I would keep my cloak on Apr 15 20:03:51 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:06:11 * MollyK watches him as she slowly undoes her blouse Apr 15 20:06:20 You will not stop me, hmm? Apr 15 20:06:55 * Morgan smirks, shaking his head Apr 15 20:09:46 * MollyK keeps undoing the buttons before pulling the fabric out of the waistband Apr 15 20:10:59 I could be like Lady Godiva, riding naked through town for all to see Apr 15 20:11:11 You could if you would like to... Apr 15 20:11:48 You are giving me permission to display all of what belongs to you to strangers? Apr 15 20:12:13 I don't think you would even if I did Apr 15 20:12:31 * MollyK wriggles out of her blouse, only in her short shift on the top beneath the cloak Apr 15 20:12:44 Don't you? Are you sure, mon petit chou? Apr 15 20:12:52 fairly, aye Apr 15 20:13:28 I rather think that would displease you Apr 15 20:14:15 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 20:14:17 I couldn't say Apr 15 20:14:49 * MollyK pulls the cloak back round her before fidgeting beneath it to slip her arms out of the shift. Because of where the cloak is, he isn't able to verify the nudity Apr 15 20:15:22 * Morgan watches her, sipping his coffee Apr 15 20:15:26 Oh dear, we'd best hope the wind doesn't get any stronger Apr 15 20:16:16 aye, you had Apr 15 20:16:49 *the road is completely empty ahead, they haven't seen anyone at all this morning* Apr 15 20:17:08 Unless you were hoping for a glimpse for your own entertainment Apr 15 20:17:34 well, that would be nice Apr 15 20:19:39 * MollyK nods, pushing back both sides of the cloak. Her shift is indeed around her waist, the December air making her nipple hard, the skin around them crinkling. She smiles teasingly "I will not distract you from riding?" Apr 15 20:19:47 Nipples* Apr 15 20:20:13 You are always distracting Apr 15 20:21:05 Am I? Apr 15 20:21:17 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:22:29 oh absolutely Apr 15 20:22:57 * MollyK leaves the cloak open, riding very confidently Apr 15 20:23:07 I am glad you think so Apr 15 20:23:29 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:24:53 * MollyK rides along beside him, glancing over occassionally to see where his attention is Apr 15 20:25:13 * Morgan is watching her chest Apr 15 20:25:15 brave... Apr 15 20:25:44 * MollyK nods Apr 15 20:26:16 I have no need to be embarrassed or ashamed by my nudity when it is to please and tease you Apr 15 20:26:29 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:26:33 no you do not Apr 15 20:27:10 Maybe I'll stay like this all the way, who can say? Apr 15 20:27:38 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 20:27:40 if you wish to Apr 15 20:28:56 It would not make you... uncomfortable? Apr 15 20:37:18 in a manner of speaking, yes Apr 15 20:37:24 * MollyK giggles Apr 15 20:37:35 That may have been what I was getting at Apr 15 20:38:00 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:38:07 it would be difficult riding aroused, yes Apr 15 20:38:19 * MollyK tilts her head Apr 15 20:38:27 You have never ridden aroused? Apr 15 20:39:00 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 15 20:42:30 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 15 20:43:39 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 15 20:43:47 [20:35:02] MollyK: Oh... Apr 15 20:43:53 [20:35:31] • ​MollyK​ looks thoughtful Apr 15 20:44:17 what? Apr 15 20:44:55 I just assumed that was quite common whilst riding along with little else to think of Apr 15 20:45:56 for most, proba.... you spend much time thinking of other men being aroused? Apr 15 20:46:11 * MollyK laughs Apr 15 20:46:12 No! Apr 15 20:46:18 * Morgan nods, smirking Apr 15 20:47:01 I spend a ridiculous amount of time thinking of _you_ being aroused though Apr 15 20:47:55 oh yes? Apr 15 20:48:02 Mmhmm Apr 15 20:48:28 * Morgan nods, shifting in the saddle Apr 15 20:48:47 * MollyK watches him, smiling a little Apr 15 20:49:03 You did not know I think of that part of you so much? Apr 15 20:49:13 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 15 20:49:29 * MollyK giggles Apr 15 20:49:34 So very often Apr 15 20:50:09 well, that surprises me Apr 15 20:50:19 I thought you knew Apr 15 20:50:25 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 15 20:50:28 no, not really Apr 15 20:50:39 It displeases you? Apr 15 20:51:11 hardly Apr 15 20:52:05 * MollyK nods, smiling innocently as she watches the road ahead, her expression in constraint with the sheer brazenness of riding with her breasts completely on show Apr 15 20:52:53 Mmhmm... I daydream often of the feel of you in my hand, or whether certain things I do have stirred you so Apr 15 20:53:27 * Morgan nods Apr 15 20:53:33 there's a man stood by that tree Apr 15 20:53:51 * MollyK shakes her head Apr 15 20:54:09 Either you are fibbing me, or I have just improved his day immensely Apr 15 20:54:37 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Apr 15 20:54:57 * MollyK glances in that direction just to be sure Apr 15 20:55:10 * Morgan sniggers Apr 15 20:55:35 * MollyK glances at him with amusement Apr 15 20:56:18 Maybe _I_ shall have to put _you_ over _my_ knee, mon petit chou! Apr 15 20:56:30 * Morgan snorts Apr 15 20:56:35 that could only end well for you... Apr 15 20:56:44 Oh? You promise? Apr 15 20:56:55 * MollyK smirks Apr 15 20:57:41 You'll regret it when you're so sore you cannot sit down Apr 15 20:58:08 * MollyK blushes, biting her lip. She fidgets a little Apr 15 20:58:26 Don't threaten me with a good time... Apr 15 20:59:44 * Morgan looks at her Apr 15 20:59:50 * MollyK watches him with a sweet smile Apr 15 20:59:53 You jest... Apr 15 21:00:13 Do I, my love? Apr 15 21:00:21 I think so... Apr 15 21:00:38 Ah, but you don't _know_... Apr 15 21:01:14 * Morgan watches her for a moment before looking away Apr 15 21:01:59 I am teasing you, my love. I think I would enjoy that Apr 15 21:02:17 * Morgan looks at her, surprised Apr 15 21:04:20 * MollyK shrugs "It is hard to explain... it would be like a reminder of being intimate with you, like when you bit my neck the other day and left a mark" Apr 15 21:04:56 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 15 21:05:13 I find it hard to understand... since we both dislike the idea of me taking you in hand... Apr 15 21:05:22 That is different Apr 15 21:06:36 If I make a mistake that displeases you, or I do something that damages your reputation, I would not want to be corrected that way, I would want to be spoken to like an adult, like someone you respect Apr 15 21:06:47 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:07:01 but in... _other_ circumstances... Apr 15 21:07:13 It is the intent and feelings behind it that makes the difference Apr 15 21:09:12 * MollyK watches him Apr 15 21:09:23 I... see... Apr 15 21:10:31 * MollyK shrugs Apr 15 21:10:40 It does not matter, my love Apr 15 21:10:50 No, I think it does... Apr 15 21:10:58 Why? Apr 15 21:11:24 because... it is something you are... interested in, and it helps me understand... Apr 15 21:12:07 I am not asking anything of you, liebling. It brings me joy just to joke about it and be playful with you Apr 15 21:13:01 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:13:43 * MollyK frowns slightly Apr 15 21:13:51 I have made you uneasy? Apr 15 21:14:15 Just... it is... surprising I suppose, thats all Apr 15 21:14:25 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:14:49 Do not fret at it my love, I am more than satisfied with how things are Apr 15 21:15:24 I'm not... fretting. Just trying to understand Apr 15 21:15:35 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:15:45 How can I help you understand? Apr 15 21:16:23 what it is exactly that interests you... Apr 15 21:16:43 * MollyK thinks about this for quite a while Apr 15 21:17:11 I think that is quite a complicated question... Apr 15 21:17:31 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:18:10 I think it is mostly, at least in this specific instance, about the mixing of the sensations. Pain and pleasure are not opposites... Apr 15 21:20:00 no... Apr 15 21:20:05 * MollyK smiles "have you ever gotten hurt but your mind cannot entirely tell what it is? It feels almost euphoric?" Apr 15 21:20:56 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:22:32 That is why it fascinates me, I think. It all feels intense, nice and not nice, you see? Apr 15 21:25:20 I think so, aye Apr 15 21:25:57 Like when you bit my neck. It was both painful and so blissful Apr 15 21:27:32 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:28:34 * MollyK takes a deep breath Apr 15 21:29:18 As I say, my love, I am happy just being silly and playful with you about it. I do not feel I am missing out or being denied anything Apr 15 21:29:34 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 15 21:31:06 * MollyK watches him a minute Apr 15 21:31:12 Are you alright? Apr 15 21:31:31 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:31:36 I am my love Apr 15 21:31:58 * MollyK nods, looking relieved Apr 15 21:32:00 Good Apr 15 21:32:40 Don't worry my love Apr 15 21:33:10 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:33:16 I will try Apr 15 21:33:58 you needn't Apr 15 21:34:15 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 21:34:41 It's unusual, and very much not in keeping with how you think a man should touch his wife, I know Apr 15 21:35:05 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:35:25 especially in conjunction to your dislike for the idea of being reprimanded like that Apr 15 21:35:35 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:35:44 I am confusing, I know Apr 15 21:36:00 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:36:06 you can be Apr 15 21:36:36 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:36:44 I know Apr 15 21:37:33 Much like how I despise being trapped but like the idea of being bound and at your mercy Apr 15 21:37:57 that is a bit contradictory Apr 15 21:38:05 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:38:10 Indeed it is Apr 15 21:39:02 * Morgan nods, looking at her Apr 15 21:40:27 * MollyK looks at him back. Despite the vulnerability she has had to display in discussing this, she hasn't covered herself Apr 15 21:41:57 you're going to get caught Apr 15 21:42:29 * MollyK watches him Apr 15 21:42:40 You wish me to redress? Apr 15 21:42:49 Not especially Apr 15 21:43:47 * MollyK does pull the cloak a little tighter, but not much Apr 15 21:43:58 I am listening for people Apr 15 21:45:15 over the sound of horseshoes... difficult Apr 15 21:45:36 * MollyK nods Apr 15 21:45:49 You would not be disappointed to lose your view? Apr 15 21:46:04 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:46:07 of course I would Apr 15 21:46:47 And I have not yet had much opportunity to attempt to make you aroused in the saddle... *she smiles* Apr 15 21:47:01 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:48:04 *she runs a casual hand from her collar bone and down over her breast* though your willpower is very strong... Apr 15 21:48:18 it is... you will have to try quite hard Apr 15 21:48:39 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 21:49:43 Ah but you have me at a disadvantage, because you never did tell me what things I do that do arouse you Apr 15 21:50:03 most things, but I do rather like this... brazenness Apr 15 21:51:33 Intriguing, I would never have guessed this about you Apr 15 21:51:50 no? Apr 15 21:52:06 * MollyK strokes her breast again, lovingly caressing it Apr 15 21:52:56 * Morgan watches her doing it Apr 15 21:53:22 No, I initially thought you would be more... conventional, as Inga thinks... only ever in a bed, at night, very gently but tenderly Apr 15 21:53:56 not against stable walls... under the stars... Apr 15 21:54:20 * MollyK shakes her head, smiling Apr 15 21:54:28 Not urgently on your desk... Apr 15 21:54:56 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:55:03 not forcefully... Apr 15 21:55:07 * MollyK continues the stroking, switching sides Apr 15 21:55:20 Mmmm... no I definitely did not guess that Apr 15 21:55:55 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:56:50 Not holding me by the wrists to the desk or a tree... *her thighs tighten against the horse's sides* Apr 15 21:57:39 * Morgan nods Apr 15 21:57:40 quite Apr 15 21:58:27 All in all, you are a very different lover than I expected you would be Apr 15 21:58:48 not a disappointment, I hope Apr 15 21:59:09 Oh god no, never, ever disappointing! Apr 15 21:59:54 * MollyK pins the reins with the side of her knee, using both hands on her breasts now, cupping and squeezing them Apr 15 22:00:06 * Morgan nods, licking his lips Apr 15 22:01:17 * MollyK watches his mouth, sucking her lower lip Apr 15 22:01:33 You like this? Apr 15 22:01:40 very much Apr 15 22:02:10 * MollyK moves one hand lower, onto the fabric on her thigh Apr 15 22:02:46 * Morgan looks around Apr 15 22:03:07 Is it working, or must I be more brazen to harden you? *it is still completely empty* Apr 15 22:03:33 * Morgan shrugs nonchalantly Apr 15 22:03:37 I think you could do better Apr 15 22:04:19 * MollyK runs her hand up and down her thigh, gradually working further inwards Apr 15 22:04:23 And now? Apr 15 22:04:30 getting there... Apr 15 22:05:59 * MollyK fidgets in the saddle, tilting her pelvis a little. Her hand gets higher and higher. She takes the reins in her other hand. Apr 15 22:06:28 Like this, mon petit chou ? *she smiles teasingly* Apr 15 22:07:06 Something along those lines, yes Apr 15 22:07:42 * MollyK moves her hand to the centre, watching him Apr 15 22:07:46 Here? Apr 15 22:08:11 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:10:13 * MollyK nods, her fingers parting the fabric of the lapped material that he is familiar with Apr 15 22:10:39 * Morgan watches her, enrapt Apr 15 22:10:44 Mmm the leather is really quite cool here, liebes herz... Apr 15 22:11:47 oh? Apr 15 22:12:03 * MollyK watches him with mischief Apr 15 22:12:38 Yes, it's almost soothing when I am so heated and flushed Apr 15 22:12:45 oh really? Apr 15 22:14:14 Mmhmm *her hand moves a little lower, and she makes a little sigh of pleasure. Then she shows him her fingers, all shiny in the morning light* see? Apr 15 22:14:45 * Morgan nods, watching her hungrily Apr 15 22:15:10 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 22:15:26 One would hope that has had the desired effect? Apr 15 22:15:32 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 15 22:16:53 * MollyK nods, smiling Apr 15 22:17:11 It is not so dreadful, riding whilst aroused? Apr 15 22:17:31 * Morgan fidgets Apr 15 22:17:36 might need some... rearranging Apr 15 22:17:50 * MollyK looks curious Apr 15 22:18:05 Oh? How so? Apr 15 22:18:47 well, things have had to... move to accommodate other things Apr 15 22:19:17 * MollyK tilts her head Apr 15 22:19:27 And you can rearrange that? Apr 15 22:19:47 * Morgan shrugs slightly Apr 15 22:19:49 to a point Apr 15 22:20:23 What happens if you cannot rearrange enough? We still have many hours to go... Apr 15 22:20:28 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 22:20:34 Then I will be uncomfortable Apr 15 22:20:55 * MollyK looks to consider this Apr 15 22:21:15 Does it happen often that you are uncomfortable like that for a long time? Apr 15 22:21:25 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 22:21:33 normally I get adjust myself to make it... easier Apr 15 22:21:51 But that is difficult on horseback? Apr 15 22:22:02 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:22:03 yes Apr 15 22:22:17 You would need to undo your placket, hmm? Apr 15 22:22:27 not necessarily Apr 15 22:23:05 A pity... you might enjoy this level of brazenness, the cool air on your skin Apr 15 22:23:12 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 22:23:13 maybe Apr 15 22:23:29 Or we could stop? Apr 15 22:23:49 if that is what you wish Apr 15 22:24:08 That would help you to make yourself comfortable? Apr 15 22:24:32 * Morgan shrugs Apr 15 22:24:34 I can manage Apr 15 22:24:51 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 22:25:09 Would you like me to stop teasing you and behave myself? Apr 15 22:25:29 Not particularly, no Apr 15 22:26:01 Even though I am making you... uncomfortable? Apr 15 22:26:30 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:27:50 * MollyK nods, watching him as she brings her fingers to the most sensitive spot with a little moan Apr 15 22:28:17 * Morgan watches her closely Apr 15 22:29:45 * MollyK bites her lip, her fingers moving gently on her skin. She shudders. Apr 15 22:30:17 See, it is not so difficult on horseback... Apr 15 22:30:23 apparently not Apr 15 22:32:10 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 22:32:36 If we had just brought one horse, this could be your fingers, mon petit chou Apr 15 22:32:53 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 15 22:33:01 I expect mine would've been rougher though Apr 15 22:33:22 * MollyK 's brows come together Apr 15 22:33:29 Oh really? Apr 15 22:33:43 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:34:41 Rougher like this? *she rubs herself more roughly with another quiet moan* Apr 15 22:35:01 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:35:03 quite Apr 15 22:36:27 Oh, it is a good job you did not mean rougher than that, for this is as rough as I can manage, your hands are so much bigger and stronger than mine... Apr 15 22:37:46 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:38:12 No, I shouldn't imagine you could stand rougher anyway Apr 15 22:38:53 * MollyK shrugs playfully Apr 15 22:39:10 There's only one way to know, isn't there? Apr 15 22:40:01 difficult from all the way over here Apr 15 22:40:32 Mmm... we'd have to stop somewhere Apr 15 22:43:15 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:43:17 true Apr 15 22:43:57 Of course, if I ride with you, we could still be making progress... Apr 15 22:44:50 also true Apr 15 22:45:29 What would you wish, my love? Apr 15 22:45:51 well, we do need to keep moving Apr 15 22:48:33 * MollyK nods. She brings her horse to a stop, dismounts, and organises her horse being tied up to walk behind his. When she holds her hand up for help getting mounted up in front of him she has gotten her arms back into the shift but her blouse and waistcoat have been put away Apr 15 22:48:55 * Morgan helps her up Apr 15 22:49:40 * MollyK gets settled, leaning back, she twists her head a little so she can look up at him Apr 15 22:49:50 Well now, is it this more cosy? Apr 15 22:50:03 Isnt* Apr 15 22:50:09 * Morgan nods Apr 15 22:50:11 very much so Apr 15 22:50:52 * MollyK kisses him softly before whispering Apr 15 22:50:56 Walk on, my love Apr 15 22:51:27 * Morgan nudges the horse into a walk Apr 15 22:52:53 * MollyK leans back even more Apr 15 22:53:37 So, my love, is this better, or will my closeness only make you more uncomfortable? Apr 15 22:54:49 * Morgan chuckles Apr 15 22:54:52 both probably Apr 15 22:55:32 * MollyK nods, running a hand over his thigh and down to his knee Apr 15 22:56:41 What a shame that will be, when you cannot really escape or distract yourself Apr 15 22:57:36 maybe I'll distract myself by distracting you... Apr 15 22:57:47 * MollyK smiles Apr 15 22:58:00 Mmm, you could try, my love... Apr 15 22:58:50 * Morgan nods, snaking a hand around her hips to the top of her thigh Apr 15 22:59:37 * MollyK inhales sharply, fidgeting a little, but she feigns nonchalance nonetheless Apr 15 22:59:44 Mmhmm... I see Apr 15 22:59:59 of course, if that is not something that interests you... Apr 15 23:00:10 Oh it does! Apr 15 23:01:17 * Morgan nods, working his fingers inside the folds of fabric Apr 15 23:02:23 * MollyK gasps a little. She does feel very warm here, the skin slick Apr 15 23:03:16 mmhhmmm, someone has been enjoying themselves Apr 15 23:03:46 * MollyK moans softly Apr 15 23:04:12 Trying to arouse you has a strong effect upon me... Apr 15 23:04:21 so it would seem Apr 15 23:04:41 * Morgan moves his fingers to the centre of her wetness, stroking the skin gently Apr 15 23:05:56 * MollyK tilts her hips, not an ideal position for riding or balance, but leaning against him she doesn't have to worry so much about that. It does make her more accessible to him though Apr 15 23:17:09 * Morgan places a finger either side of her most sensitive spot Apr 15 23:18:34 * MollyK leans her head back too now, eyes closed Apr 15 23:18:39 I like that Apr 15 23:18:45 oh? Apr 15 23:19:33 I love the feel of your fingers upon me... Apr 15 23:20:33 * Morgan nods, pressing his fingers firmly against her Apr 15 23:21:53 * MollyK pushes towards his fingers Apr 15 23:22:10 This does not feel so rough... Apr 15 23:23:03 I did not wish to surprise you by it... Apr 15 23:23:34 Oh, so it is not a lack of desire to do it roughly, hmm? Apr 15 23:24:02 definitely not Apr 15 23:25:02 * MollyK reaches behind her with her left hand, wriggling her fingers between them until she can feel the bulge in his trousers Apr 15 23:27:43 * Morgan sighs deeply before rubbing her roughly, pressing hard Apr 15 23:29:16 * MollyK grips him firmly, writhing against him and making fast sounds of enjoyment, trying to manage the wealth of sensation Apr 15 23:29:20 Good lord! Apr 15 23:30:22 * Morgan makes a grunt, getting faster Apr 15 23:32:12 * MollyK squeezes and releases at him, breathing hard. Despite how she is still experiencing so much sudden pleasure her hips still buck towards his hand, encouraging him, wanting his touch Apr 15 23:35:08 * Morgan gets even rougher Apr 15 23:36:51 Oh god *she moans louder, shuddering a little, her body gearing up, her fingers pulling at the buttons of his placket* Apr 15 23:38:41 huh uh duchess, your body is mine to do as I please with and right now you will just sit there and take it Apr 15 23:40:57 * MollyK 's hand stills, following this command, but her body becomes tenser, breaths becoming very managed, trying to keep the last thread of self control. She murmurs "holy fuck, liebes herz!" Apr 15 23:41:16 * Morgan gets rougher still Apr 15 23:41:56 you may as well give up and surrender to it, you're not getting away from it until I've ripped your orgasm from you Apr 15 23:44:37 * MollyK whimpers at his words before the impact of the climax smashes into her, her back arching. She puts her hand over her own mouth to try to keep her sounds of ecstasy quiet, succeeding only in muffling them. Again she withes beneath his hand Apr 15 23:46:08 * Morgan reaches round with his other hand, grabbing her breast savagely, not slowing the actions of his other hand at all Apr 15 23:49:17 * MollyK peaks even harder at this, making a high pitch intense noise against her hand. She tries to clamp her thighs together reflexively, but the position in the saddle keeps them spread Apr 15 23:50:32 * Morgan starts slowing down Apr 15 23:50:41 there we are my love, I've got you Apr 15 23:51:18 * MollyK shudders, orgasming again gentler Apr 15 23:51:55 Oh god liebes herz, you are too good... Apr 15 23:52:12 * Morgan suddenly rubs her hard and fast Apr 15 23:55:31 * MollyK isn't expecting it, moaning loudly enough to startle a couple of wood pigeons from the trees. She clings to his thigh with the hand that isn't on his erection, her body assailed with pleasure Apr 15 23:56:27 * Morgan slows down, stopping Apr 15 23:57:06 * MollyK catches her breath, trembling a little between his thighs Apr 15 23:57:24 Wow... just... wow Apr 15 23:58:36 You are alright?? Apr 15 23:58:46 * MollyK nods Apr 15 23:59:18 Oh yes, but that was wonderful and intense Apr 15 23:59:45 * Morgan nods **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 16 00:01:52 2022 Apr 16 00:01:52 * MollyK is just quiet a moment, occassionally her thighs tense as the little aftershocks run through her Apr 16 00:02:19 * Morgan keeps an arm around her, holding her close Apr 16 00:03:05 * MollyK fits her fingers between his, still breathing deeply Apr 16 00:03:14 That... was incredible Apr 16 00:03:23 I'm glad you approved Apr 16 00:03:33 * MollyK nods Apr 16 00:04:05 When you talk that way, it feels like my mind peaks as well as my body... Apr 16 00:04:27 what way? Apr 16 00:06:07 When you tell me what to do, when you let me know you are in control *she shivers again* Apr 16 00:06:42 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:06:46 duly noted Apr 16 00:07:43 * MollyK turns a little again, once more kissing him softly Apr 16 00:07:53 You are so good to me... Apr 16 00:09:04 I'd like to say that was entirely for your benefit but... I'm afraid not Apr 16 00:09:21 No? Apr 16 00:09:41 * MollyK gently rubs him between them Apr 16 00:10:48 No... I enjoy doing that to you, feeling you out of control Apr 16 00:11:12 * MollyK whimpers a little at this Apr 16 00:11:17 You do? Apr 16 00:11:45 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:12:27 I like that you like it Apr 16 00:12:34 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:14:08 * MollyK squeezes him gently Apr 16 00:14:18 It surprises you that you like it? Apr 16 00:14:42 somewhat, aye Apr 16 00:15:00 * MollyK nods Apr 16 00:15:31 Do you need me to reassure you at all? Apr 16 00:16:29 please Apr 16 00:16:49 * MollyK squeezes his hand Apr 16 00:17:53 That was perfect, I am over the moon and I feel amazing. You were magnificent, and just... I will remember that as long as I draw breath. Thank you for how well you pleased me, Apr 16 00:18:25 * Morgan nods, leaning forward and kissing her neck Apr 16 00:19:01 * MollyK tilts her head to give him more space to Apr 16 00:19:56 Would you let me be good to you, or do you wish to wait until we are at Innesbruck? Apr 16 00:20:33 We'd need to find somewhere... Apr 16 00:21:02 As quiet as it is, anywhere off the road should be fine Apr 16 00:21:24 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:21:34 * Morgan tries to find somewhere Apr 16 00:24:16 *they go due north, about five minutes off the road, the trees all looking much the same, not the schwarzenwald here so far north and east of the black bark. It is not dark here in the daylight. It's very quiet, no tracks or signs of people having come through this way Apr 16 00:24:59 * Morgan dismounts, helping Molly down before tethering the horses Apr 16 00:25:24 * MollyK is still a little unsteady, but smiling warmly Apr 16 00:26:14 You look a little wobbly my love Apr 16 00:26:21 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 00:26:41 My head is light, swimming like a fish Apr 16 00:27:13 perhaps you should sit for a while Apr 16 00:27:33 * MollyK shrugs Apr 16 00:27:52 I want only to please you, in whatever way you wish Apr 16 00:28:53 * Morgan nods, moving her against a tree and picking her up Apr 16 00:29:35 * MollyK looks at him adoringly, again kissing him gently, her arms around his neck Apr 16 00:30:18 * Morgan undoes his placket, before moving the fabric of her trousers, pressing himself against her Apr 16 00:31:22 * MollyK blushes a little, parting her thighs further and tilting towards him Apr 16 00:31:56 * Morgan thrusts into her, lowering her slightly to achieve as much depth as he can, moaning deeply Apr 16 00:33:00 *she moans too, purposefully clenching her muscles around him "Please, liebling, please have me as you wish" Apr 16 00:33:59 * Morgan nods, winding his fingers into her hair and pulling before building into an energetic rhythm Apr 16 00:35:14 * MollyK moans gently at each thrust "yes, that's good, please, be selfish with me. Focus on you" Apr 16 00:35:57 * Morgan pulls her head back, thrusting into her with some force, intent on achieving his own release Apr 16 00:37:11 * MollyK holds onto his shoulders, keeping her internal muscles held tightly around his member Apr 16 00:37:55 * Morgan groans deeply, swelling before loosing his seed within her Apr 16 00:38:50 * MollyK makes gentle soothing noises near his ear, sounding pleased and loving Apr 16 00:40:19 * Morgan gently lets her down Apr 16 00:41:05 * MollyK smiles, giving him one of the cream flannels from her trouser pocket Apr 16 00:41:51 * Morgan takes it, cleaning himself up Apr 16 00:42:43 * MollyK carefully does likewise before pocketing it. She looks at him fondly Apr 16 00:42:54 You make me very happy, my love Apr 16 00:43:35 likewise Apr 16 00:44:03 Would you like to eat whilst we are here? Apr 16 00:45:41 * Morgan smirks for a moment Apr 16 00:45:44 aye, I think so Apr 16 00:45:56 * MollyK looks confused Apr 16 00:46:12 Why are you smirking, my love? Apr 16 00:46:28 * MollyK starts to get the food out of the saddle bag Apr 16 00:46:42 tonight, when we lie down at the end of the day, I'll show you... Apr 16 00:47:06 * MollyK still looks a little confused, but smiles Apr 16 00:47:14 As you wish, my love Apr 16 00:48:05 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 16 00:48:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: Leaving) Apr 16 14:08:54 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 14:09:13 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 16 14:09:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 14:11:12 * MollyK sorts their food, sitting on a fallen tree.

She looks very content Apr 16 16:17:23 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:17:24 wise Apr 16 16:17:42 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:17:54 I am keen to see how things are there Apr 16 16:18:57 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:19:06 you are concerned that you instructions won't have been followed? Apr 16 16:20:54 * MollyK shakes her head Apr 16 16:21:40 I am more concerned that it will not have worked as I hoped, though when I last reviewed the ledgers in August everything looked well Apr 16 16:21:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:22:02 I hope its continued in that vein Apr 16 16:22:17 As do I. I would hate to have disappointed you Apr 16 16:25:15 I don't see that happening Apr 16 16:28:52 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:29:11 I hope the house has been well kept Apr 16 16:29:19 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:29:25 that'd be useful Apr 16 16:29:44 It will be a little sad too? Apr 16 16:31:47 why do you say that? Apr 16 16:32:11 We were excited when we discovered you are the Freiarr, that we could make that our home and nurture the Freiarrdom whilst living quite simply Apr 16 16:32:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:33:25 it pained Edward, finding out about it... I thought it was because if he'd allowed Alarice to keep the child, it would have come to his child... but it wasn't Apr 16 16:33:35 No? Apr 16 16:33:48 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 16 16:34:23 * MollyK drinks some of the coffee Apr 16 16:34:27 He would've seen it as a better option than the one he chose Apr 16 16:34:38 * MollyK sighs Apr 16 16:34:44 He has a point Apr 16 16:35:19 All things that have only come to light because we did the digging... there's no value in dragging ourselves over those coals Apr 16 16:36:29 * MollyK nods a little Apr 16 16:39:01 We are where we are. Maybe this is not the way that would have made you and Edward happiest, maybe your relationship would have been better that way, but we are here now, and it could be so much worse than it is, couldn't it? Apr 16 16:40:14 I wonder if we'd ever have been so close had things taken a different path Apr 16 16:41:17 * MollyK tilts her head Apr 16 16:41:29 Are you closer than before you got married? Apr 16 16:43:04 * Morgan nods undoubtedly Apr 16 16:44:21 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:44:55 The only people who could tell us are unlikely to do so, I suppose Apr 16 16:45:40 mother and father? Apr 16 16:45:45 * MollyK pulls apart a piece of bread, eating it slowly Apr 16 16:46:15 No, whether you could have been so close... only the Nibelungen might know Apr 16 16:46:33 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 16:46:36 It doesn't matter Apr 16 16:47:28 No... it is what it is. Apr 16 16:47:57 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:48:09 I am happy. Apr 16 16:48:39 * MollyK smiles, leaning against him a little Apr 16 16:48:46 That's what matters Apr 16 16:48:50 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:48:51 indeed Apr 16 16:50:14 One day I am sure I will stop asking myself if you wouldn't be happier, if it wouldn't have been better for you... Apr 16 16:50:42 You don't think I ask the same of you and Seb? Apr 16 16:52:44 * MollyK frowns Apr 16 16:53:08 No, I cannot say I have ever thought you would be thinking that Apr 16 16:53:55 You should remember that... I have _seen_ how happy you are together in those other possibilities... Apr 16 16:56:53 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 16:58:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 16:59:35 That is difficult for you? Apr 16 17:00:01 I'd be lying if I said it wasn't Apr 16 17:00:10 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:01:03 You are happy too there though. Your life without me would have been wonderful, all four of your sons are good men... Apr 16 17:02:01 It is definitely in hindsight that it is difficult... but looking at it, you would've been happier being someone's first love... not being put through the pain and difficulties being with me has caused you Apr 16 17:03:15 * MollyK sighs, watching a hopeful little robin Apr 16 17:04:19 I love being with you, liebes herz. It might have been easier with him, but then we have also seen times where it was simpler for us together too Apr 16 17:05:18 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:06:36 And you have dreamt the opposite too, being with me if I had lost Seb... Apr 16 17:06:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:06:55 aye Apr 16 17:08:38 Our choices and that of others have led us here. I am happy with you. Just because it is less simple than it might have been does not mean it doesn't have value beyond measure. We have fought for this. Apr 16 17:09:30 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:09:31 yes we have Apr 16 17:10:19 You do not need to be jealous of him, my love. Apr 16 17:10:28 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:10:29 I know Apr 16 17:10:39 But you are? Apr 16 17:11:24 not noticeably, no Apr 16 17:19:09 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 17:19:41 Good. Even in those dreams, I want you to remember that I _choose_ you, every moment of every day. Apr 16 17:20:12 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:21:48 * MollyK watches him a moment, smiling a little, before crumbling up a little bread for the robin Apr 16 17:25:23 * Morgan watches her fondly Apr 16 17:26:12 * MollyK tries to lure the little bird closer Apr 16 17:26:40 * Morgan sits still, sipping his coffee Apr 16 17:28:00 * MollyK gets the bird on her boot, then hand feeds it with a smile Apr 16 17:30:00 where have you picked that up? Apr 16 17:30:19 Picked up what, my love? Apr 16 17:30:29 This way with animals Apr 16 17:30:58 It's just being patience and gentle, that's all Apr 16 17:31:53 * MollyK glances at him, smirking "Even the most grumpy of animals are susceptible to such manipulations" Apr 16 17:32:07 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 16 17:32:09 cant argue with that Apr 16 17:32:35 No _you_ really can't *she sticks her tongue out at him* Apr 16 17:33:31 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 16 17:33:37 You're spending too much time with HeinzHarold Apr 16 17:33:48 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 17:33:56 Maybe he's rubbing off on me! Apr 16 17:35:17 horrific thought Apr 16 17:35:29 * MollyK laughs Apr 16 17:35:32 Oh yes Apr 16 17:37:43 And then he would be beaten black and blue Apr 16 17:38:10 before I'd gotten my hands on him... Apr 16 17:38:18 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:38:27 That would just be Inga Apr 16 17:38:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:40:13 * the robin flies away* Apr 16 17:40:22 We should be going too Apr 16 17:40:48 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:40:51 aye, best had Apr 16 17:41:11 I will put my clothes back on Apr 16 17:41:35 If you wish Apr 16 17:42:19 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 17:42:48 It is not very warm... Apr 16 17:44:44 no, it isn't Apr 16 17:46:15 * MollyK goes back to the horses, taking off the cloak so she can put her blouse back on over the short shift Apr 16 17:46:39 Would you like to ride together on the other horse a little while? Apr 16 17:46:51 If you wish blossom Apr 16 17:49:22 I thought the closeness may feel pleasing for you Apr 16 17:49:56 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:52:32 * MollyK finishes redressing, smiling Apr 16 17:52:56 And I trust you will feel no need to distract yourself by distracting me now? Apr 16 17:53:11 I think you'll find that was entirely your own doing Apr 16 17:53:24 * MollyK shakes her head Apr 16 17:53:31 It was not! Apr 16 17:53:40 * MollyK is smiling Apr 16 17:55:00 * Morgan shrugs, untethering the horses and switching them around before pulling himself into the saddle Apr 16 17:55:48 I believe the one who started it all this morning was you talking about your dream of using your mouth upon me... Apr 16 17:56:07 * MollyK holds her hand up again Apr 16 17:57:08 * Morgan helps her up Apr 16 17:57:11 You wished to know... Apr 16 17:57:41 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:57:45 Indeed Apr 16 17:58:03 How much did they see? Apr 16 17:59:05 my parents? Well... you were _almost_ at your peak when the door opened Apr 16 17:59:27 * MollyK gets comfortable, taking the reins Apr 16 17:59:36 Oh no, how embarrassing! Apr 16 18:00:41 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:00:42 quite Apr 16 18:01:08 Were they very angry? Apr 16 18:02:00 father was furious. Mother seemed to think he was overreacting and it was good that you were getting enjoyment from it Apr 16 18:02:49 * MollyK covers her eyes with her hand Apr 16 18:03:12 Oh gosh, I don't know which reaction is worse?! *she laughs* Apr 16 18:03:50 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 16 18:03:51 I know Apr 16 18:04:54 That was probably just a nightmare... Apr 16 18:05:12 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 18:06:52 That could not have happened though? Apr 16 18:07:32 You don't think so? Apr 16 18:07:44 * MollyK thinks Apr 16 18:08:09 I suppose that depends on if you were simply teasing me about doing it Apr 16 18:09:01 in my dream you required a demonstration.... Apr 16 18:09:40 I would never have been brave enough to ask for one... I think! Apr 16 18:11:15 * Morgan chuckles Apr 16 18:11:17 possibly Apr 16 18:13:10 * MollyK smiles, closing her eyes Apr 16 18:13:44 I was surprised enough when it did happen Apr 16 18:13:53 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:13:54 I recall Apr 16 18:16:30 * MollyK nods Apr 16 18:16:46 Mmhmm... that was a happy day Apr 16 18:16:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:19:12 I am glad I married you, my love. I have never regretted that choice, Apr 16 18:19:37 good Apr 16 18:21:18 Have you ever regretted marrying me? Apr 16 18:21:35 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 16 18:21:52 I regretted that I had not made it clear quite how strongly I feel for you, though Apr 16 18:22:31 That was not on you, my love. That was about me, and about what I thought was possible for us given the past Apr 16 18:24:14 even so... it took my father pointing it out. I should've seen it Apr 16 18:24:54 You could not have known, my love. I tried not to pain you with it. Apr 16 18:25:44 * Morgan nods, looking round Apr 16 18:27:07 *There's no one there, it's all peaceful* Apr 16 18:29:34 Have I said too much? Apr 16 18:29:45 No blossom Apr 16 18:30:50 * MollyK nods Apr 16 18:31:20 Good. I am glad we got to where we are, and for your Father's unusual perceptivness Apr 16 18:31:31 * Morgan smiles Apr 16 18:31:38 aye, me too Apr 16 18:33:46 * MollyK nods, nestling further back a little. It doesn't take long before he notices she has started to drift off Apr 16 18:34:08 * Morgan holds her steady and allows her to snooze Apr 16 18:37:27 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 16 20:14:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 20:17:11 *the quiet gives him time to think about the present situations, about himself and Edward, and Edward and Mina, going to Capperlucia, the future of running two Grafdoms, having children with her, her and Seb, and all manner of other things. She sleeps like this quite a while, stirring and an hour later Apr 16 20:17:21 Oh, sorry my love Apr 16 20:17:36 its fine blossom, you clearly needed to sleep Apr 16 20:19:56 Mmhmm... you tired me out Apr 16 20:20:09 I'd say I'm sorry.... but I'm not Apr 16 20:20:16 No? Apr 16 20:20:23 no Apr 16 20:21:33 You like that you can do such to me? Apr 16 20:24:07 of course I do Apr 16 20:24:15 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:24:31 I will have to try harder to exhaust you so Apr 16 20:25:19 I look forward to it Apr 16 20:25:46 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:26:13 You said that was your last dream... what did you dream before that? Apr 16 20:26:39 the one where I had asked you to be my mistress and you needed time to think about it Apr 16 20:26:56 Oh! What happened? Apr 16 20:29:38 uhhhh, Lady Torrington told me off for being in a bad mood, Jaeger and deBurgh announced their betrothal, I was rude, you appeared... we talked, you wanted to be my mistress Apr 16 20:36:36 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:36:49 That must have been a relief Apr 16 20:37:36 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:38:21 Were you in a bad mood because of me? Apr 16 20:41:12 partly I suppose Apr 16 20:41:36 But it all turned out happily in the end? Apr 16 20:41:45 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:41:49 aye Apr 16 20:42:38 It is nice that you dream happy things of me too Apr 16 20:42:54 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:44:42 It turns out what happened in the carriage on our first trip here had nothing to do with being in a carriage! Apr 16 20:46:08 No... apparently not Apr 16 20:46:38 We should have known then, perhaps Apr 16 20:46:55 known what? Apr 16 20:49:15 About our... unconventionality Apr 16 20:49:50 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:51:10 I do like it though Apr 16 20:51:26 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:51:27 good Apr 16 20:55:47 * MollyK turns to look at him, smiling Apr 16 20:57:00 I wish we could be like this forever Apr 16 20:58:05 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:58:24 Bit difficult eating dinner at court on a horse though Apr 16 20:58:31 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 20:58:58 Yes it would. And I certainly couldn't give you a child up here! Apr 16 20:59:36 No, that is very true Apr 16 21:01:21 * MollyK nods again, watching the road ahead. The scenery is much the same as before, familiar to Morgan from early childhood visits back and forth to his uncle in Innesbruck Apr 16 21:03:07 * MollyK is quiet, just seeming content Apr 16 21:04:06 * Morgan looks around Apr 16 21:05:12 *it's starting to look like rain will be along soon, the clouds grey above Apr 16 21:05:29 * Morgan sighs Apr 16 21:05:34 looks like we're going to get caught in that Apr 16 21:05:39 * MollyK pulls her hood up Apr 16 21:05:53 Better now than whilst we were off the road Apr 16 21:06:06 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:06:07 aye Apr 16 21:08:04 *it does start to rain, for quite some time. She doesn't complain at all, and her body in front of him him shields his chest and most of his face from the worst of it Apr 16 21:09:50 * Morgan grumbles about the rain Apr 16 21:11:01 * MollyK nods a little Apr 16 21:11:22 I would rather be with you in the rain than with anyone else in the warm sunshine Apr 16 21:11:31 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:11:38 I'd rather be with you in the sunshine, though Apr 16 21:11:45 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 21:12:15 In the secret garden at the golden lantern, in the heat of July Apr 16 21:13:25 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:13:27 quite Apr 16 21:15:09 **The rain stops just before the toll bridge, the sky lighter as the weather moves west. Molly looks around, but there is no longer an old man waiting here to take tolls from the travellers* Apr 16 21:15:42 well... thats an improvement Apr 16 21:16:23 Could it just be the rain? Apr 16 21:16:32 Could be I suppose Apr 16 21:18:07 Or maybe... *she smiles slightly* ... just maybe... you have made a difference here Apr 16 21:18:17 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 21:18:21 we'll see I suppose Apr 16 21:21:30 * MollyK nods. They do see a difference as they ride closer, chimneys smoking in cottages where firewood has been found, fields neatly harvested ready for the next year. Fences and walls that he and the others spent time working on themselves standing strong. Things look organised, the occassional person they see looking cheerful and fed. Apr 16 21:22:11 * Morgan nods to himself, looking round Apr 16 21:28:40 *Everyting looks good. People wave to them as they go by. Soon they reach their house, riding up the drive. All the plants and hedges look neat and cared for. The white building with its archway into the courtyard seems in good repair* Apr 16 21:29:09 this isn't looking bad Apr 16 21:30:37 No, it isn't Apr 16 21:31:32 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:33:52 *Through the archway and into the courtyard, they hear children's laughter. Jacques, the boy whose porteish magic controls the mirrors, and Rickon, the lively and outspoken eight year old son of Hildegarde (and therefore Dietlinde's cousin once removed) are playing with wooden sword whilst Walder watches his son and the other boy and brushes down Apr 16 21:33:53 Varick's pony Krestonosets. Apr 16 21:36:46 Things have changed somewhat since we were here last Apr 16 21:37:26 * MollyK nods Apr 16 21:37:40 It is nice to see the children playing Apr 16 21:37:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:37:54 aye it is Apr 16 21:38:43 *Walder spots them, encouraging the boys to come to stand nicely to greet them Apr 16 21:40:09 W: Afternoon, Milord, Milady. *he bows, the boys next to him doing likewise. Jacques is small for his age and dark, whereas Rickon is taller and blonde, taking on the family hair of many blonde shades* Apr 16 21:40:40 Walder... how is everyone? Apr 16 21:44:14 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 21:53:00 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 21:53:11 [21:44:00] MollyK: We have chickens now? Apr 16 21:54:53 J: We could show you the chickens, milady? R: We could tell you all their names too Apr 16 21:55:28 [21:40:48] MollyK: *Walder helps Molly down* All good, Milord. Theresa and Hildegarde are sorting out dinner, Heinrich and Ghalen ((the young sheriff with a crush on Molly who is the son of Bauer the overseer in Koln)) are visiting some tenants, Karl and Ulath ((the former criminals who nearly killed Sorgi but now work here)) are round the back Apr 16 21:55:28 cleaning out the chickens. Apr 16 21:56:12 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 16 21:57:02 * MollyK smiles at the two boys "Oh yes, and I will tell you about the most awful hen that has ever lived..." *she looks to Morgan* "is that alright, my love?" Apr 16 21:58:08 of course blossom Apr 16 21:59:04 * MollyK kisses his cheek before going with the boys around the side of the house. Walder watches her go, taking the horse's reins. Apr 16 21:59:11 * MollyK is now known as Walder Apr 16 21:59:22 'Er ladyship looks happy Apr 16 21:59:32 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:59:35 been trying my best Apr 16 22:00:57 * Walder nods. Movement catches his eye. Hildegarde is stood on the doorstep shaking dust from a towel. She looks up at them with those eyes so much like Dietlinde's Apr 16 22:01:50 * Morgan looks over, inclining his head Apr 16 22:01:59 Take the horses and get them rubbed down? Apr 16 22:02:46 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:02:47 please Apr 16 22:04:32 H: *she smiles at him. Walder takes the palominos to the stable. The conversation he and Molly had whilst having lunch about the life he might have had here with Dietlinde comes to mind as he looks at her cousin at the entrance to his house* Apr 16 22:05:22 * Morgan makes his way over to her Apr 16 22:05:57 * Walder is now known as Hildegarde Apr 16 22:06:09 Did you get caught in that rain? Apr 16 22:06:31 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:06:36 predictably Apr 16 22:07:21 Do you want to come in? Everywhere is ready, just the kitchen is a bit untidy Apr 16 22:08:29 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:08:58 I suspect Molly will be a little while telling the boys about some chickens we encountered on our journey Apr 16 22:09:05 * Hildegarde leads the way to said kitchen Apr 16 22:09:15 I just hope Rickon is behaving Apr 16 22:09:36 how has he adjusted to your new circumstances? Apr 16 22:09:47 * Hildegarde sighs Apr 16 22:09:51 Mostly good Apr 16 22:09:59 bit of a clash of wills? Apr 16 22:11:05 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 22:11:23 They like each other, but Rickon has never had a man around Apr 16 22:11:37 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:11:46 I imagine that is difficult for him... and you. Apr 16 22:12:05 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 22:12:28 It's what I expected, we just have to all be patient with each other Apr 16 22:12:37 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:12:49 and Heinrich? Apr 16 22:13:21 He cares greatly about Rickon Apr 16 22:13:44 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:13:48 good Apr 16 22:14:12 * Hildegarde nods, letting him in the kitchen Apr 16 22:14:17 Coffee? Apr 16 22:14:46 please. We had some after leaving but... it wasn't so pleasant after a couple of hours ride Apr 16 22:15:08 * Hildegarde nods, getting him some Apr 16 22:19:28 * Hildegarde has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 22:52:10 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 22:58:27 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 23:13:46 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 23:13:50 [23:05:26] MollyK: Heinrich will be back before long, you must be keen to get caught up? Apr 16 23:13:56 * MollyK is now known as Hildegarde Apr 16 23:15:01 We're keen to know how the things Molly put in place are going... if they've yielded the results we hoped Apr 16 23:15:30 * Hildegarde makes herself some coffee too. It's the coffee from Cafe Kaffee Apr 16 23:16:07 The people are all doing much better. Rickon and I have a cow again back at the farm Apr 16 23:16:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:17:04 thats good... Heinrich is treating you well? Apr 16 23:17:39 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:17:49 Yes he is, he's very loving Apr 16 23:18:00 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:18:01 good Apr 16 23:20:46 How are things with you? Apr 16 23:21:58 uhhh, very good... I'm sure you've been kept apprised of the changes? Apr 16 23:23:53 The title and the future of going to Gottkirchen instead of living here, yes Apr 16 23:24:21 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:24:26 been a busy little while Apr 16 23:25:16 It's a shame you couldn't be there for Dietlinde's Memorial service Apr 16 23:25:27 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:26:08 That would've been very difficult Apr 16 23:27:36 It's important to face the grief though Apr 16 23:27:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:28:02 I'm working through that Apr 16 23:28:26 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:28:53 It comes up now and again, even seven years after Rickon's Father died Apr 16 23:29:12 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:29:25 I expect it always will Apr 16 23:29:32 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:30:38 What is strange is what I've found since getting married again, sometimes Heinrich will do something, and I think "I must tell Martin about, he would find that funny" Apr 16 23:32:43 that must be difficult Apr 16 23:33:13 * Hildegarde sips her coffee "I do still miss him, like how he laughed, and how he held me, but... it's almost like it was someone else's life now. A lot has happened since then" Apr 16 23:34:01 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:34:17 We are different people now Apr 16 23:34:24 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:36:06 That's how it goes. You have to still be able to live, and they are at peace. They aren't feeling jealous, or neglected. They're just at rest. Apr 16 23:36:30 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:37:28 And one day we will be gone too, and have that peace ourselves, and all our earthly concerns will be gone away. Apr 16 23:37:43 * Hildegarde sips her coffee Apr 16 23:39:52 * Morgan nods, smiling slightly Apr 16 23:41:45 That's what I think heaven is going to be like anyway. It'll be like those times you're with those you love, and you forget to think anything because you're just calm and enjoying the love and peace. It's like one long sunny lie in the grass Apr 16 23:42:36 You're a romantic at heart Apr 16 23:42:43 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:43:37 Yes, I am. Love endures so much that willpower and determination alone can't. I wouldn't have survived so long in such poverty raising Rickon without that love Apr 16 23:44:01 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:44:50 What about you? What do you think heaven will be like? Apr 16 23:45:40 I don't know... peaceful is about as far as my thinking gets Apr 16 23:45:51 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:46:07 I hope we both have a long time before we have to find out Apr 16 23:47:15 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:47:17 as do I Apr 16 23:50:27 * Hildegarde smiles Apr 16 23:50:39 Did Sascha and Otto tell you their news? Apr 16 23:51:48 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:51:50 they did Apr 16 23:52:33 I'm pleased for them, it's given them some motivation to start letting her rest Apr 16 23:52:43 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:52:59 I think you're right there Apr 16 23:54:34 It's nice that they have something to look forward too, and hopefully in time we will have a new cousin for them Apr 16 23:56:42 oh? You hope for another? Apr 16 23:57:08 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:57:17 Yes, we would like to Apr 16 23:58:33 What about you, Is the pitter-patter of tiny feet on your mind? Apr 16 23:58:57 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 16 23:59:11 We have too much to do for that to be a reality just yet Apr 16 23:59:46 That's a shame
