[Filter to Greeks in NYC]

So I have business in NYC this coming week and I thought it only fair to warn you that I'll be in town. If you want to see me, fine. If not, I promise I won't look you up.

Oh, they are. Ivy will adore you, I'm sure. Anthony's a bit more reticent, but he'll be polite, don't worry.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

Polite is good. If he's rude, though, it won't bother me. I'm sure what he would consider rude would still be princely manners to a rough soldier like me.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Well, he ought to, considering he is a young prince. His brother is the Sea King, and I'm Queen of Olympus, after all.

Touche, gorgeous. So should I bring kid bribery or anything?

Ivy is quite fond of chocolates. She loves her little indulgences. Anthony is rather more austere. He prefers something with a bit more practicality. Books. Games. Triton says he's old enough to learn the basics of sparring these days.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

Sparring, huh? Now that solves any kind of manners problems and gives me an idea. I'll give you a call when I actually hit town if that's okay, gorgeous.

Yes, but do go easy on the boy. He's not even a year old yet. And he's plenty dangerous without a weapon in hand already.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

I promise. I would never hurt a kid. Even a prodigy like Tony.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Oh, darling, it's not like that. Not quite. I mean, how old were you the first time Zeus put a sword into your hand? But Anthony's talents are more similar to those of his father in that he commands the waters. Including those that flow inside a living body.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

I follow. Thanks for the warning.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Yes. We are teaching him not to use them in that way, unless it's an emergency, but that doesn't mean he might not try.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

Right.

Though we better teach him control over that or else it will be worse than useless.

I look forward to meeting the kids and seeing you again, gorgeous. Until then.
