After the events with alpha earlier hovark had spent a good part of the day avoiding people. A lot of people were pretty pissed at him right now especially his daughters who werent really speaking to him right now. So he pretty much they day alone. Yeah he did kinda feel bad though his temper had gotten the better of him. So after avoiding people for a hours. He is seen walking along the edge of the woods by himself he was walking up a hill to the clearing where he does a lot of his thinking. When he got there he sat down with a sigh knowing that he is gonna be avoiding a lot of people in the next coming weel as he closes his eyes meditating. This is probably the only time he will let his guard down[/i]
[spoiler]brought on by several request so its open[/spoiler]

*As his guard is down, he sees Mortar out of the corner of his eye. He is unarmed at the moment, and nods when he sees him* Hello there Hovark. How are you?
-
"Been better.."says hovark [i]his voice didn't sound too happy at the moment.[/i]
-
*Mortar sighs* Yeah, I heard about your little... outburst... *He sits down as well, showing no signs of hate, criticism, or anger towards the old dragon*
-
"Yeah i wouldn't surpised..."he says [i]hovark didn't make any eye contact with him.[/i] "My daughters hate me..."he says
-
Well I'm sorry to hear that. Hey, at least I still respect you, and, between you and me, I wanted to deck him too every now and then
-
"Yeah but i didnt mean to hurt him that badly though."says Hovark
-
well, Smough didn't mean to kill me. But I'm here now, and if Alpha recovers, then no real harm done.
-
"Yeah but his friends will come after me try and kill me. "Says hovark [i]he stared off into the distance and sigh very deeply.[/i] "If something does happen to me please protect my daughters and they're children from harm. Cause lets face it i won't be around forever and im pretty old as it is"says hovark [i]he looks directly at him when he says this. He concerns for children theirs was all to real seeing how he worried about someone hurting them. Cause he knew that sometimes his daughters could be too trusting of strangers a flaw that could be their very undoing.[/i]
-
*Mortar sighs* I will, sir. Your children, and grandchildren, for that matter, will be safe under my watch. There's just something you need to know about Alpha. He...* *He takes a deep breath in before speaking* He is a murderer. He killed hundreds and attempted to kill thousands more when he and his crew blew up the NTR Hermes. I know because I was almost killed by him
-
"Hmm i see thats a little troubling. I just hope that he don't try anf harm them."says Hovark [i]Hovark knew though if it came down to something like that there would be bloodbath cause his daughters wouldn't back down from a fight. Especially if their kids were involved.[/i] "I know my daughters might try retaliate if i die and thats my biggest fear cause they would want vengeance"says hovark
-
Trust me, if anything happens to you, it will probably be me who serves the vengeance. You're a good man, and i want you to be there when I marry Serenity... *He pauses a moment, forgetting he didnt tell Hovark yet* ... If that is okay with you, of course.
-
"Hmm...well i had a feeling you might come asking for serenity's hand in marriage sooner or later and i have no problems against it. So yes you have my blessing. "Says Hovark [i]he looking at him with a grin.[/i] "I couldn't ask for a better guy to marry my daughter mortar and know how much she loves you too."says Hovark
-
Thank you sir. This means a lot to me. *He holds his hand out to shake* I'll be sure to take care of your daugher and grandchildren with my life.
-
"You very welcome mortar and i know that you will."says hovark [i]hovark reaches out and shakes his hand.[/i] "Well i have been meaning to give you something its been in the family for generations even before i was born that how old it is. But normally its passed to father to son but seeing how never really had any sons i couldn't think of someone more fitting to have this. What going to give was made by one my ancestors. its up to you if you choose to except it " says hovark [i]he then reachs inside the bag that is carrying with him and pull out a long black ornate box that has seal which he then says something in dragon. It opens with audible clicking noise and opens the box. In the box was long sword that had redish black black and the blade was four foot long with a slightly jagged edge to it. The handle was ornately carved and the was gems embed in the handle. Along the blade was dragonic runes that glow faintly in a reddish light.[/i] "The name of the sword dragon's wrath."says Hovark
-
*Mortar's eyes widen when he sees the blade* Hovark... This is amazing. I would be glad to take it, to keep the family name going. *He takes the blade, resting it on his side* Thank you for this. This means a lot to me, being so sure in accepting me. Makes me feel like i've done something right with my life
-
"Well im pretty good judge of character i could just see that your a good man even before you serenity started to date. That and you always going out your way to help my daughters."says hovark [i]he watched him take the sword and on his belt.[/i] "That sword is one of a kind there is no other like in the world. "Says hovark
-
Well, that is rather impressive. I will treasure this for as long as I have it, sir. *His face is locked in a grin. With almost every dating couple he has seen the father is weary about the date. Even one of his good friends is weary about his daughter's date; formerly working for your enemy's military can do that to someone*
-
"Mhm i know that you will"says hovark [i]hovark still remembers when his father that sword to him. He was still very young and it was before his passing. He wasn't gonna lie to himself though cause he knew that their mother would be happy to see how they grew up.[/i] "Im pretty sure if their mother was still alive that she would approve you too."says Hovark
-
She would? Well, that would make it better. *He is silent a moment, kmowing all too well the loss of a loved one* What was she like?
-
"She was very beautiful her name was aurora. I still remember when first met her cause was out flying when heard her voice. She was out of the water sitting in the sand by herself. She had long feiry redy hair but she looked at like the twins but she had bright green eyes. I had land close by and normally people flee when i land. but she looked dead me in the eyes and got right up then walked right up to me. She was the first person to actaully try and pet me. Its wasn't long before i couldn't see myself without her i was smitten with her and knew she felt the same. "says hovark
-
*He smiles when he says that, more for gratitude towards the old dragon, and felt the same way with Serenity* That sounds like you really liked her.
-
"I did i loved her a great deal"says hovark
-
*He nods slightly, understanding* You see, I would love to have that kind of relationship with Serenity, sir. One that would last millenia, even if one of us does pass.
-
"Im pretty sure that you will last a long together you both are still very young still. Did i ever tell you i met there mother when she was maybe a year or two older than serenity"says hovark
-
*Mortar raises a brow* I did not know that
