Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cross and Mina, before they go to figure out how to stall off their urges to deal with their personal stress by pummeling the Tartarus out of each other, go to look at Mai, as they begin to answer, with Cross starting first,"I had to know what was going on, that's due to my mother's Alvizu blood, in case you may have to ask," while Mina goes to answer to Mai, while looking at Erythia in the eyes briefly,"It's an Alvizu thing," as they both said at the same time the following,
"We know, ITS COMPLICATED!!!!!" as they pretty much repeated the words of Mina's father, pointing out to when exactly did their family had such capabilities.

In any rate, Mina goes to say outloud,"I wish sister Silena Beauregard were still alive and with us, she might have been able to help deal with this mess before it got worse," as Mina and her full siblings helped Clarisse set up the grave for Silena, with Clarisse' consent.
Not at all willing to cry just yet, Mina goes to look at Erythia's eyes, and then goes to come to Erythia, as she goes to lock lips with Erythia Spell, feeling that its only justified because of the fact that Erythia was not a half-sister of hers.

"And they don't assign me enough to combat-related duties and patrols," Cross sighed, as he goes to look at Mai for further ideas.

Mina was enjoying the fact that she and Erythia were already deepening in the next kiss, as Mina placed her hands on both sides of Erythia's face for each hand, tilting her head a little more to the side and then half-way leaving her mouth open for Erythia.
Already feeling a surge of emotions swirl around her, which outside her boyfriend would not happen often for the most part, Mina goes to just focus on Erythia at the moment.

Cross just goes to look at Mai with one eye while focusing the other eye on his cousin, as he can stand the idea of the sight of Mina doing what she is doing with Erythia, somehow.

Mina's Harsh side wanted Mina to just answer an admitted,'Yes' to Erythia's question and get it over with, while Mina's Sweet Side is scared that she'd break her boyfriend's heart if she says so, outright.
Otherwise hesitant, Mina goes to channel as much of her mother's magic onto her mind, so she can just continue to make-out with Erythia, with an equally vixenish response,"Are you, my sweet?" as Mina goes to lock lips with her, although a pendant of the byzantine Christian Cross Mina would carry with her appears to be glowing blue.


Cross sighs and sweats out, while being ready to join Mai, but first noting to himself,"The next thing i hear, is that Erythia indirectly used the kind of love + lust magic Mina would have from Mina's mum, against Mina, and that's all without even being a half-sibling, so what's next?She turns out to be Aphrodite's paternal granddaughter, and is thus the 2nd cousin of the children of Kronos, as a result?" suspecting all too well that though Aphrodite would only dare mate with men, that it would not at all surprise him if Aphrodite would be even the least bit amused by the idea of one of her daughters making out with one of her granddaughters, who's a niece to said daughter in the first place.
With that, Cross pulls out some Mentos and goes to pop some into his mouth, to maintain sanity.

Mina's self-enchanted self goes to nod, as she then sent the mind-thought,'Its as blue as the way i feel about life, after the battle of new york, Errie,' as Mina's semi-magic-possessed self goes to add further,'It was a day i would not dare forget, as one of the people i looked up to in matters of life died, trying to persuade Miss La Rue to gather her half-siblings to aid the rest of our family in fighting the Drakon,' as Mina goes to look at Errie, this time with light-blue eyes, as she then sent the thought,'Tell me more about your family, as much as you'd recall, please?I have such pleasure in learning more about you,' as Mina had to let her magic possess half of her mind, so she does not get too terrified to break her boyfriend's heart, especially since after Mina was sent to fight in New York, her boyfriend nearly died without her protection while she was deployed.

'I sometimes wish that i were accompanying my male lover and his lovely half-sister, right now, although i trust my father and my two full-sisters would be able to keep him and the convoy safe,' Mina's last particular thought was kept to herself, as her Byzantine Cross was apparently turning into a light shade of hot pink, in turn of Mina's desires to wish her beloved to be happy.



"I've been hearing rumors that my Sweet-Harsh bi-sexual cousin was inspired by one of her half-siblings, the one that died recently whom she spoke of the most, was apparently rumored to have been just as fond of other girls as she was of guys(although its very much true that she loves one of the previous cabin-heads of Hephaestus, who died in the front-lines!)" Commander Cross then said, trying to sort out the fact that the Marine Corps has been trained by the Roman Radicals from the rumored camp that Cross' late uncle(along with some of his late officers!) apparently already knew existed, but never told their families about, either.

"To be honest, they never made it clear at all if she ever made out with Demeter girls(probably the most likely bet among females!) or even Lady Athena's brain-baby daughters, for that matter," as Cross sighed, as right now, he was in no mood to have any incoming brain-jokes involving Athena's children, especially when Mina's father is rumored to be a 1st cousin to Athena, maternally speaking, and the last thing he needs to hear is to give Athena enough of a cow to scare officer Lance to insanity that only combat could resolve.

Cross didn't like where Mina's thoughts were going, as he could tell that they were not happy thoughts whenever Mina thought about how she was eventually there in time to witness when Silena Beauregard died and Miss La Rue went off on a rampage of revenge worthy of any child of Ares worth his or her salt(such as Blackbeard, who was also in the fighting when he brought his personal navy to engage the enemy forces' own!)

"Mina's about to berate herself for being too slow and not being there when Silena offered to get Clarisse's aid, again!" as Cross recalled that it was during that battle, Mina thought that her boyfriend had died, when Mina came in, and that it took Mina's two full siblings, Princess Miranda Alvizu(her middle name is Princess, as its Creusa!) and Elissa Dido Alvizu just to make sure that Mina does not give in to despair, too soon.

Cross would know this, because he could somehow feel Mina's emotions, as Mina did not even need to be one of the daughters of Poseidon's Aunt Aphrodite, for Cross to even know something was wrong(if Mina already had Alvizu blood, odds are that Cross was going to detect something was wrong!)

Mina was suddenly urged to cry, one of the things she would only do in private with only her male lover, his half-sister, and anyone close to her, around, as Mina then said,"Whenever i recalled that battle, and whenever i even recall so much as even the feeling of when i thought my boyfriend had died, i felt that i was sent to Tartarus, whenever i had to recall the incident," as Mina adds,"I even assured myself that, as long as my boyfriend and his half-sister were alive, i would have came back with either my shield for victory or retreat from a battle unwinnable, or on it in death, as i left a note meant to convey i had to fight in New York," as Mina does not think she can get much of a grip on the tears if she does not say her words, now.
"Combine it with the moment i came and watch Silena die, along with everyone else with Percy, to when Clarisse responded with a rage all too justified, and believe me when i admit that i joined along with Clarisse while my full-sisters and my father were aiding in with Blackbeard's forces," as Mina goes to suddenly recall the time she had to fight one of Erythia's half-sisters in a duel to the death, to make sure that Clarisse' back was covered for half of the final phases of the last battle, as Mina was already showing imagery from silvery sea-foam that she summoned, back when Mina was at least 2 years younger, about the age of a 16 year-old, yet beautiful, young Spartan lady who refused to cry unless she can't take it anymore, and if she can't take it anymore, she'd make sure not to cry in public, lest she shames her ancestress, the lady Sparta.
In front of Mina, was a powerful Arcane Knightress who clearly may have been a part of the elite forces of the invaders of New York, Mina somehow knew she was female, because the lady could tell that she was walking with a steady grace that, while less graceful than any Aphrodite girl in general, was still a sight to behold in its own right.
