"Does he now?" Kingsley teased lightly, glad his humor was bringing Hestia out of her overwhelmed state, if only a small bit. He was rewarded with a kiss on the jaw for his efforts, not something he took lightly even if she was playing along. He stretched out his legs under the coffee table, his hand smoothing her hair now, then moving down her back again.
"You haven't but feel free anytime you like," he chuckled warmly but didn't stop petting her. "For their sake, I'm sure they're glad the portal is one way for that reason alone." Kingsley paused, biting back a sigh. "The work is going well now that Sirius has reinforced the wards. Some of the larger predators over there found a tiny gap in the old wards and exploited it. We found what was left of the poor fellow days later."
"The settlement outer walls are up now, though, so it's better protected. They just finished the Command and Medical centers last week and the second engineering crew is working to put up housing in the first ring. Our delay is in getting the materials over there since we haven't finished the ship so we rely on what our long-distance apparators can bring themselves."
