For a brief moment in time, Kili feared Saeril would not accept his gift. To his relief, she did accept, and he smiled for the first time in a long while. The runestone meant the world to Kili, and so did his Delva. In his eyes, there could have been no other more worthy nor deserving to have this gift given to them.

Affectionate as he often was, Kili returned the hug, feeling the smallest bit of hope again. Perhaps things would turn out okay. "Thank you for everything you've done," he told her through the embrace. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here...you've saved my life more than once."
