Julien gave Lexi a curious look. "Who is this...Cora? A friend?"

Lexi blushed, she thought he had already picked up on her being a single mother. No, heh. Cora would be my daughter. She admitted scratching the back of her neck. It was rather embarrassing to have to admit to people that she was 18 and already had a child but it was starting to seem more normal for her. After all, it was HER daughter.

Julien nodded, upset with himself that he didn't make the connection. "So, do you two live up in Zürich or is your home in America?"

I'm the only member of my family to live in America. My daughter and father live back home in Zürich. She admitted with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Julien picked up the sadness in Lexi's voice. "I see... My dad lives over in Capriasca, but even then he travels around for his job. He might be moving to America soon, but that all depends on how things turn out in France."

Do you go visit him for holiday? She asked sitting with her legs folded underneath her. It was rare that she met anyone who was from her home country so this was actually a rather nice conversation for the daughter of Hebe.

"Actually, I go here on holiday." (OOC: I'm American btw, so I hope I used that term correctly.) "When I'm not here, I'm back home either training, schooling, or darting around from track to track with my dad."

OOC:Holiday is the equivalent of like spring break in school and vacations. I'm American too, I just have a lot of foreign friends.

BIC: That makes sense. I usually go home for Holiday and spend the rest of my time here at camp doing whatever I need to do to keep me and my family alive. She admitted, sounding like a boring camper truth be told.

"Ah." The son of Nike nodded and decided to sorta change the subject. "So what does your family do? Like, your father and Cora's father?"

My father is a song writer and violinist back home, he's actually pretty good. Lexi smiled. Cora's father though, he was killed by a Manticore when i was almost seventeen. He was a son of Hades you see and I guess the monsters got to him after all. She said looking down at her hands and fiddling with them.

"Oh, well..." He didn't know how to respond to this. He had just forced a widow to bring up their husband; how can you respond to this? "Well, I am sorry for your loss Alexia."

She shrugged. It's getting easier to think about it. He was a wonderful guy and I see a lot of him in Cora. Plus when she gets old enough I assume she's retain some of his powers. She admitted, thinking about little Cora running around the house in a few years chasing after ghosts and dead things. It made her laugh a little thinking about a five or six year old chasing ghosts around their massive home and it was nice.

"Well, that would be quite a sight." Julien didn't know whether to laugh or not, so he let out a sympathetic chuckle and paused for a second. "You don't plan to send her to those Romans, do you?"

I would have to wouldn't I? She's a legacy and Half Blood doesn't allow them here unless they're a visiting Roman. She noted, trying to think back on a conversation she had had with Chiron not long ago. It was sad to think her own daughter couldn't live at camp but it wasn't surprising either.

It was possible but very challenging, and Lexi knew that but even still. With her father being a son of Hades it paints a decent target on her back even with my bloodline. It would probably be best if she was simply taken to Camp Jupiter once she passed the tests and what not. She said thinking aloud, something she found herself doing more often.

Lexi laughed. I'm a daughter of Hebe, goddess of youth. So you can imagine how entertaining that Cora is a mix of Hades and Hebe. The demigoddess said as she thought yet again about the odd mix of bloodlines.

Julien thought that over for a second. "So a little girl, joyously running around flanked by the spirits of the deceased?" Julien shrugged, amused by the thought. "Sounds like an interesting life ahead of her."

And one that I can't wait to see. Lexi agreed laughing a little. There were moments where thinking of Cora's life later on made her happy and not wishing that her father was there to be a part of it as well. Sure she would have some hardships with Cora and any Hades based powers she gained but even till, it would be an adventure for the entire family.

Julien nodded, a sympathetic smile on his face. "So, I noticed you have a tablet on you."

Oh yes! Lexi said remembering it next to her and picking it up to show him. It was a gift from my father and I use it to draw out my comic for online. She admitted with a smile on her face. Drawing was always an escape for her, and she was thankful to now have a friend to rely on rather than just her tablet.

Julien gave a curious nod. "A webcomic?" He moved in to get a look at the tablet's contents. "What's it about, your comic?"

Typical plot line things. Three very different worlds and a romance basically starts an all out war while following the lives of unlikely creatures at a very special academy. She said showing Julien the character sheet she was working on for a character named Cora Night.

"And I would assume these three creatures- " He looked down at the character sheet and noticed te name "Cora Night"; "-And this 'Cora', all play a role in the story?" Julien wasn't much of a writer, and read very little outside of a few myths and The Players' Tribune.
