"He does," Hestia confirmed. "I'm surprised that you didn't know that." She could probably continue along with "facts" like that that she had been told by people once they found out she was seeing Kingsley. She had found most of them funny if absurd. She noticed his getting comfortable and smiled to herself. Apparently both of them must have needed this.
She took the hand of his that wasn't currently petting her (honestly, if she was a cat, she'd be purring quite loudly by now) and placed it in between both of hers, her thumb giving lazy strokes up and down. "I like the way they feel - warm and encompassing; they make me crave more." The pause had her looking up at him, and as he told her about the poor man, she scrunched up her face. "That poor man," she said. She didn't know what damages the predators over there could do, but she certainly knew enough about predators over here and back in England that she could imagine what the remains looked like and what he had suffered. "At least now the wards are better. Unfortunately, they couldn't have spared that man."
"You certainly seemed to have accomplished so much more from the last time I asked you," Hestia said impressed. If she was remembering correctly, the continent formerly known as Australia had just been chosen. It was wonderful to know that the main buildings were completed. Now hopefully some political leaders that had been on Kingsley's side originally would start coming through and take some of the pressure from his more than capable shoulders. Not that she knew that he couldn't handle it, Hestia knew that he could. She just didn't want him too overly stressed. "My fingers are crossed that everything continues to work out."
