"I do want that, don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day, I'm a warrior, and battle is something I thrive on.
And turning that prowess on a city that desperately needs it, I lived in riften for a number of years after my parents were killed.
So I've dealt firsthand with the issues of that city, and I can think of no greater justice than to clean it out the best way I can.
Forcefully."

His white knuckle grip on the hammer's handle was evidence enough of the passion he had towards that city.
"Heh, who knows, maybe I'll end up becoming the Jarl myself, then skyrim would have to acknowledge you as something more.
But I doubt you'd want that just for who you're associated with"
Brenda
She flinched a little bit seeing him grip his hammer like it was a chicken who's neck he was ringing. She relaxed the little bit hearing his proposition. " So you would actually take me to wife? " Is what she got out of that conversation. Being the wife of a jarl would have its privileges But that's not what she was thinking about she was more excited about the prospect of him wanting to get married
Gene
His grip lessened on the hammer, turning to look at her, his gaze connecting with hers.
"Well I mean, it's certainly possible, not right now obviously.
Need to give such things time before acting on them, a bit ironic coming from me but some things are best not jumping head first into"

A light chuckle rising from him.
"But who knows. Maybe the gods have other plans for us, we will see"
A pleasant smile on his face as his stride was a bit more lacks.
Brenda
" I don't know I always thought that being a part of a normal family would make me feel like I was actually well a part of something. How can I explain it my heart thirsts for adventure But at the same time it wants to settle. I guess that's just life some days you want to sleep in other days you want to take it head on. I suppose that's why my father never let me sleep in during the summer. Too much to be done. Look at me I'm rambling again. " She said rubbing the back of her head nervously.
Gene
"Okay? I never said there was anything wrong with that, just gotta pick one is all. And if you want both then just do one of them first.
You're out here figuring things sout for yourself now, don't need to go by what anyone else told you.
Aside from general warnings about the land and such, but I think I've got you well covered on that front"
Brenda
"I guess you're right. I'm lost on what I want. My papa said that this is a chance to rediscover myself. But still I'd like to have your guidance. Even if you are a silly bear when it comes to giving sage advice. " She smirked at his new Nickname.
