[Kimblee's attention seems to be elsewhere for a moment at the start of that - Dorian has been becoming increasingly displeased at the fact that he is no longer receiving attention from anyone, and as such he starts pawing at the front of Kimblee's suit again, getting a bark out at him before Kimblee's hand is once again ruffling the fur atop his head lightly, eventually settling into a soft, steady stroking motion. However, he is listening to everything that's being said - that much is clear across his expression, even if he's not making eye contact, the light furrowing between his eyes indicating that he's mulling all that over.]
