Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mina goes to alter her eye-colors from their normal Sapphire Blue Colors to their Teal colors, as she then said to Mai,"You missed out on me introducing my cousin to you, Mai," as she goes to look at Erythia, as she goes to softly kiss Erythia's left cheek, trying to find a reasonable way to convey she's nervous whenever she has to introduce her cousin to other people.
Ironically a few years ago, the feeling used to be more mutual, but now Mina was on the receiving end of it rather than the giving end of the matter.
Mina then adds,"My cousin just noted that the would-be-murderers just slipped by the defenses of the military, Mai, its a problem when it comes to our relations with the Radicals on the other side," as by the Radicals, Mina meant the Roman Camp, which she hopes that Erythia was also here to keep this a secret from the majority of the other camp members, for now, and hope that Mai has the decency enough to do likewise, here.




"1st Lieutenant Commander Javier Cross, reporting for duty, you talk to me about loyalty to my country, and i'll yell Semper Fi, which in Latin means Always Faithful," Cross pretty much said, as he goes to repeat the Marine Corps Motto, to the girls.
Cross goes to ask Erythia, after he saw Mina kiss Erythia's left cheek,"How did you realize who i was, so quickly?" as he goes to watch equally as Mai brings the healing plant, but was already far behind in this discussion its not funny.
While Cross is somehow all for preserving the secrecy of the Radical Camp's existence, he somehow suspects that now is the time to let his cousin know that the assassins managed to slip by the radicals' defenses, most likely because the camp was not their target, instead it was the Traditionalistic Camp Half-Blood that was the intended target.

"Mina, that's not a good thing if the radicals couldn't detect such threats to Mount Olympus, and i believe they really would have made the effort if they had suspected it to be so," as Cross goes to nod towards his cousin and Erythia on such regards.

Mina already feels a lot of excessive anxiety over the situation, because not only does she have to check back up with the convoy, soon, so she can help hunt down Andrei Alechiv(her boyfriend's magi-terrorist father!) but she needs to train at camp so she can also hurry up and help to deal with the assassins invading the camp where the maternal side of her family resided in, by the majority.
Feeling entirely lost as to how to reasonably deal with the anxiety, short of just making out with Erythia or Kaylin by locking lips with them in front of Cousin Cross, not so much to make him jealous(its bad enough Mina's sister Miranda Creusa already wants to make-out with Cross too many times for her to count!) but to try to convey to Cross that Mina is just anxious(as well as to hopefully find ways to apologize to Erythia for a case of bad impressions Erythia gave Mina, while also trying to reassure Kaylin that they could reason with her boyfriend!) Mina just goes to throw Cross around, with her mind, seeing as she can't spit out the fact that she wants to head to the arena to deal with a lot of her excess stress.
'Its not that i am trying to deal with this electricity in the air that did not come from my father's ancestor's electric bolts!!!!!!' Mina thought, as she just wanted to throw around Cross in an effort to convey to him that she wants to train, as usual.





'You Sweet-Harsh Bisexual Byzantine Relative!!!' as suddenly, the feeling was mutual, as you saw Cross pulling out Gabriel, and he began to unleash magic when he summoned a spell of plasma upon Mina, not hot enough to burn her clothes, but hot enough to get her psychic powers off of his body before she could throw Cross around, as Cross then said,"Alright, Mina, we'll hit the Arena, alright?" as Cross goes to look at Kaylin and Erythia, along with Mai, as Cross hopes there's also evidence of the assassins at the Arena, as well, but most of all, he just wants to only deal with his own personal stress, along with that of his cousin Mina's, for that matter, before he has to get started with trying to keep an eye on Mina's boyfriend Zory, back at the Convoy.

Cross goes to place his sword away, as from his body armor, he goes to summon what looked like a small plastic rod, only when Cross went as far as to uncap the thing, it turned into an Axe made with a fusion of Stygian Iron and What appears to be some sort of mortal-harming steel, it probably was not mortal, whatever it was.

"I forgot to mention that i made that axe, after i realized that there are a lot of magi-terrorists out there to deal with, in the long run," as Cross goes to use only one hand to hold and properly wield an axe that would have required two arms to even hold, coherently, for most people, but then again, most people were not altered since they were babies from a project, either.

"I hope Miss Ichijun is doing alright, though, because i'd rather she not get a bad impression of the military in general, especially not after the negative incident that happened in Japan," Cross said, as he did not want to talk about that incident in which some guys disgraced the marine corps, essentially.




When Mina and Cross hit the arenas, they were going to sort this matter out, but for now, Mina turned that orb into a Spartan Shield, and then Mina goes to take it easy for a few moments when she looked at Erythia, already feeling that a make-out scenario with Erythia would have been good, right about now, as Mina took a brief look at Erythia's lips, before focusing on Cross, and admitting,"Somehow i knew you were going to grab a weapon other than a sword, in case your swordfighting would let you down, but i never expected you to fight with an axe," as Mina goes to admit,"You're being over-protective of everyone, aren't you?" as Mina goes to look inside Cross's eyes, and began to notice that underneath those blue eyes, was someone who buried a lot of his humanity away, not willing to be harmed by his past, any more.
