Hi! :D Wow, I can't believe that this has gotten almost 2000 views! And reviews always make me happy *cough*cough* Can we make it to…say…20? I hope the Jeyna wasn't too bad, and that y'all liked the Pothena. Here's for one of my personal favorites, Leyna.


Reyna leaned against the railing, her eyes closed, and facing the setting sun. Leo stood next to her and stared at the clusters of houses below. He glanced at her hair, then at her still-closed eyes, and smiled. Leo carefully took the daughter of Bellona's hair in his hands and started weaving the strands together."

"Leo," Reyna didn't move, but the corners of her lips curled up. "What are you doing?"

Leo stuck his tongue out in concentration. "Braiding your pelo," he muttered.

"Why?"

Leo smiled. "Because I like your hair, mi bonita amiga. It's so…suave. And I've never braided hair before."

Reyna felt her back, and found her hair tied in a knot at the end. "What…Leo, why is my hair knotted?!"

"I didn't have a hair tie or something. Sorry."

Reyna breathed in deeply. "It's okay, Leo. I've never had my…pelo…braided before." She turned around to face Leo, smiling. "Thanks," Leo stared at Reyna, the golden glow of the sun lighting up the praetor's face, like an aura around her hair.

Reyna noticed this, and smiled shyly. "Leo, stop staring at me," she whispered. Leo grinned, took her hands in his, and kissed them softly. "Sorry hermoso, you're just too amazing for me to stop."

Reyna playfully slapped his arm. She stood up on her toes, looked him straight in the eye, and smiled. "Shut up, Valdez," she said, and kissed him.


A/N: That wasn't too bad, was it?

Nicole: I thought it was great! And I loved how Leo was saying some words in Spanish!

Elizabeth: That's because Leo's awesome. And bilingual. And hot. And just plain hilarious.

Me: But you have to admit, Leo and Reyna are a good couple.

Elizabeth: I don't have to, but…I guess they do make a pretty good couple.

Nicole: Ha! I knew you liked Reyna!

Elizabeth: Of course I like Reyna! She's an admirable young woman, praetor of New Rome, and the daughter of a war goddess. More than I can boast about.

Me: But you have powers of the Olympian Council! You can control the sea like Percy, control the winds like Jason-

Nicole: - make fireballs like Leo, charmspeak like Piper, fight like Clarisse, hunt like Artemis, shoot arrows like Apollo, and you even have a license to drive his sun chariot! You can control the dead like Nico. Who else, that you know, can do those things?!

Elizabeth: Nicki can make fireballs and charmspeak and control the dead.

Me: Nicki can't control the dead; she can only talk to the spirits.

Elizabeth: I think we're boring our readers with all this talk. **to readers** Sorry about that. Please review! :D
