Stella laughed at Anton sanguine expectation of Tesla. “Seriously, he’s a pilfering monster! Don’t ever leave food around when he’s in your apartment, he will try to steal it.” She so enjoyed Anton’s company, thought Stella, sitting there sipping her tea. He was great company especially now that he had told her honestly and no longer shouldered that burden. He seemed much lighter for it which made her glad. Where she had felt more forced and guarded earlier he appeared more himself.<br/><br/>“I’m so glad you liked dinner, it was ever so nice to have a human to share it with and not just a gargantuan cat. And such a nice human at that” she grinned. “May I invite you again, soon?”<br/><br/>
