Robert found himself alone for the first time in what seemed like forever. Ever since he had gotten Darien as a charge he felt like a babysitter/nurse/therapist and he was mentally exhausted. He felt every single one of his 56 years and he was surprised he'd not started to develope gray hair. As it was he'd cut his hair and shaved off his beard in an attempt to not feel quite as old as he was. His daughter said he looked more like an older brother than her dad and it had made him smile. It wouldn't due to look behind the times or give his enemies anything to be able to grab a hold of. He stared out in the park and thought. He'd gotten himself back into fighting trim and his sword work was progressing. Some things were going quite well.
His charge, that was another matter all together, he did not know what to do with Darien. The phoenix witchlighter (As if THAT didn't make his head hurt just thinking about it) was hell bent on being a self righteous jerk with a stick up his ass a mile wide. He needed a severe thrashing in Robert's mind so he could stop being so self absorbed and Robert did not know how to administer said ass whupping. His daughter, the few years he'd had with her, had been relatively well behaved. Oh she'd orbed everywhere she could when she got the chance but that had stopped once he'd explained how dangerous it was to do in front of non family members.
His daughter had locked herself in the basement and was playing "Boogie Wonderland" at max volume. A sure sign she was depressed and not in a mood to talk. She'd broken the DVD to Happy Feet they had played it so much for her as a child and was on her 5th copy even at age 29. It was a bit of an odd relief to him that some things hadn't changed even if he cringed every time he heard the music.
Stretching lightly he watched crowds pass by and crossed his arms as he sat on a bench. He was worried about his daughter and it made it that much harder to deal with Darien. Merry had almost died and Darien was so worried about the fact that his daughter was growing it barely registered with him. Robert gritted his teeth and exhaled slowly. Of course the daughter of a wherewolf hunter was going to grow up fast. The reflexes required to kill a wherewolf were just phenominal and needed to be aquired young. If Darien had THOUGHT of that instead of running to Robert to tell him the obvious he'd have figured it out.
Robert rubbed his face. This was getting him nowhere. He loved his daughter deeply but Darien tested his patience like nothing else. He knelt down on the grass heedless of who was watching and prayed the Serenity prayer.
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen."
He murmured softly. The prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr seemed to work for him and he exhaled slowly to calm himself.

Mitchel had been taking on troublesome charges his entire career. Most of them however had been troublesome humans with choices that were stepping in the way of their own destiny. He was dealing with one such charge in Vegas, but Mitchel knew he could handle that one... He was uncertain however, about his other charges from the magical world. Moira was so quiet, why would they throw such charges for future whitelighters, and then Moira...
He was certain that that boyfriend of hers would be trouble... It might be time to pull that boy up by the short hairs, but how would he do that? He didn't seem troublesome, but the fact that he played fast and loose about asking her out still had Mitchel on edge... Was he just being paranoid because of the work that he did? Or was there a real reason for him to be worried? Mitchel smirked to the heavens. He put the thoughts away again that he wouldn't go crazy about it before he was the right age for wrinkles.
There was a murmur in the air not far from where he was standing. It was far from intelligible, but it was still clearly male. He stopped where he stood with his arms crossed across the back of his head. A few steps from where he found himself there was a man. He looked familiar, but he wasn't sure if they'd met before. Since he was the only one that could be the source of the mumbling Mitchel walked over and knelt down next to the man. "Are you okay Sir? Is there anything I can do to help?" Mitch asked with a pleasant smile.

Robert looked up and saw Mitch standing there, "I'm fine. Just praying for patience and the words I need to keep one of my charges in line." he said softly as he recognized the younger witchlighter. "You're Mitchel Kido right? My daughter Merry mentioned you the other day. I'm Robert Lovelace, her dad." he said as he rose and dusted his pants off with one hand while offering the other to shake.
"Don't mind me. Just getting back into the swing of things after being gone for a very long time." he said with a rueful grin as he brushed a hand through his short hair, "There is so much I need to learn its like starting from scratch some days." he said with a sheepish shrug as he looked at the other man with thoughtful brown eyes.

He blinked in surprise. "Uh yea, that's me..." He said slightly surprised. He hadn't thought he'd made that big of an impact on Merry for her to talk to her father about him... "I hadn't thought Red and I were that great of friends... I'm surprised that she mentioned me." Mitchel ran his hand through his hair sheepishly, wondering what Merry had said to her father about him. But he shook Robert's hand either way, trying his most charming "Parent" smile.
When Robert mentioned his troublesome charge Mitchel couldn't help but chuckle at the gentleman standing in front of him and bobbed his head back and forth. "Yea, I can understand that one. I've had more then my fair share of troublesome charges... The Elders think it'll put me on the straight and narrow or something... Wanna talk about xer?"
He waved his hand towards a bench for them to sit down, then second guessed himself and held a finger up so he could go purchase a bottle of water from a close by vendor. "So what's this witch's shtick? Personal Gain? Demon happy? Demon lusting? Hiding behind their book and hoping that nothing ever comes their way? Stupid?" he offered as he walked up to the cart guy to purchase his water.

"Merry generally mentions other whitelighters or witchlighters to me so I can get my feet under me. Its been a while and I'm out of the loop." he did look a bit confused at the nickname as his daughter did not have red hair, "I take it thats a bit of a personal nickname? As far as I recall Merry has never dyed her hair red before." he admitted with a chuckle and a general look of confusion.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt. My charge is just very high strung is all." he admitted as he sat down and waited for Mich to get his water. Robert looked at him a bit haggard and there were dark circles under his eyes from the ringing in his head with Darien freaking out 24/7.
"The demon lusting was a phase. Stupid seems to be terminal with her and she went through demon happy before I came around thank goodness. No, this is a case of "The elders gave me an orphan hunter baby to raise but she's too smart and grows too fast and I don't know what to dooo." Robert mimicked Darien's voice very well all things considered but then he'd heard it enough times in the middle of the night.
