"I-" she bit her lip, suddenly feeling she had some how insulted him, though his voice gave no evidence of it. "I didn't mean to imply-" She could feel that her red cheeks were only burning scarlet in response, nearly chewing on her lip trying to find a way to make up for her words.
Only then he was leaning back and she nearly jumped as the familiar voice came from his lips. A strangled laugh, something almost a giggle came from her throat as a hand covered her mouth looking at him with a whole new respect and admiration.
"You're-" Hestia rubbed at her lips before slowly moving her hand to cup her cheek, still amazed. "I- my god." She was nearly stunned speechless, though her lips were curled in a small (amazed but awed) smile.
