Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nico and Mike arrived via shadowtravel to the city of Athens. "That all you need?" Nico asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yea...for now....I need a way back. I'll call you." Mike said. Nico nodded, and disappeared.

Mike grinned. He hit the "save" button on his phone, saving the video he took of Eric asking the question. He put it into his pocket before Eric knew it was ever out. "Uhhh....nothing?" Mike said, but it was a cross between a question and a statement. "What are you doing here?" Mike asked.

"Wait what? Hold on a sec." Mike turned around and he began to disintegrate starting with his head. He was turning into sand and blowing away. 50 feet away, he began to grow back, starting with his feet, growing out of sand and then becoming human again. He did the same thing to return back to Eric. "I guess I can...if I had known that, I wouldn't have made Nico shadow travel me here. But I was here before you...so you would be stalking me...." Mike said. "Getting to know who more? Lyri? That crazy girl who is obsessed with you? You aren't supposed to be dating a mortal, you know that as well as I do. What if Zeus found out? Should I tell him?" Mike asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Eww dude gross. Lyri is what? Like 14? Don't even talk about that virgin stuff...." Mike said playfully. "If you don't tell her...I'm going to just break it to her...you need to tell her. If you wait too long, it will be too late, and the information might devastate her and ruin your relationship." Mike said, leaning against a pillar of the temple.

"By different, do you mean slow, stupid, mentally disfunctional, oblivious, or uhh...stupid? Or any combination of the above? Everybody knows except for her. Look around you, even mortal people look at you funny. Doesn't that strike you as odd?" Mike said, gesturing towards people walking around. "She should know by now, the fact that she hasn't, means you are dating an idiot." Mike said, raising an eyebrow.

"I said stupid to put emphasis on the fact that she's stupid. I said it twice to put emphasis on the fact, that she is so clueless, that stupid must be used in conjunction with another word to describe it....I know what I'm saying." Mike said smartly. "I'm not an idiot. Unlike your oblivious lover..." Mike added. "She isn't that pretty, isn't that smart, and doesn't appear to have any key attributes about her...so why? Why did you pick her of all people?" Mike asked, wondering.

"Doing what? I'm just wondering why Lyri? Why not....her?" Mike said, pointing at girl. "Or her, or her, or her, or any of the girls at camp? What's so special about Lyri that makes you break a major rule in order to be with her? To be in love with her...I'm just curious." Mike said, sitting down. A chair of sand came up from the ground catching him as he sat down. "And you're a god, I'm just a kid. So I can't be your brother..." Mike said.
