Thanks for the reply. Also, fair point about the terminology. And yeah, it seems unlikely but then again, I would have also thought it unlikely for Rick to include LGBT themes on his books for several reasons. And as far as i could tell he didn't, at least for his first 8 books and multiple short stories. Then House of Hades was released, that plot point with Nico was picked up in Blood of Olympus and then the themes were consolidated in the Trials of Apollo.

So I guess, we could still be surprised? I don't know but Aphrodite's wording seemed pretty specific and full of clues at the same time. I wouldn't put it past her to use common wordplay to hide the message she actually wanted to convey if she thought it would make Reyna's love-life more entertaining.
