Book of the update: Crunch Time

Song of the Update: Marry the Man Today from Guys & Dolls

Dedication: just noticed, because of his absolutely brilliant observation, and AWESOMENESS because of their amazingly kind review :)

You can't not yearn to understand

Reyna.

She's so strong, so powerful

but she doesn't take advantage of it.

Though no human being can stone-hard for that long.

She leaked with Percy, if you can remember.

She's got to have some feeling somewhere, deep down.

And I love the fact that she probably does,

but she puts the needs of Rome in front of her

probably not petty emotional needs.

She was what,

twelve, thirteen

when some blood-thirsty pirates destroyed her home.

Goodbye, childhood.

Hello, emotionless praetor of New Rome.

And the thing is,

I am dying to know her past.

Her father?

Immigrant from Puerto Rico, maybe?

We just don't know.

I just want Reyna to loosen up a bit.

Show us that teenage girl

we all want to see.

I hope she doesn't die.
