Maleficent listened to him as he explained to her the promise that he seemed to kept to his mother. She wondered what his mother was like. Must be a sweet, kind dwarvish woman. From the fancy tea, to a promise on a stone. She sounded wise. But after Kili told the fae earlier about her death, that struck Maleficent hard. It reminded her of Loki's grief years ago. After she was killed. Living on without a mother. Once he said that his mother worries, Maleficent tipped her head down to face the ground, and gave a small chuckle. "Are you?", she asked before glancing her eyes in his direction, clearly kind of teasing him.
