Kili’s gaze seemed to intensify as he heard the elf’s soft voice speak to him and his brother. His grip on his bow would loosen without him knowing. What was being said here…Kili would pause for a few moments, blinking twice, hardly believing his eyes. He was looking at his old care taker. The memories of the letters flashed through his brain. 

“D-Delva?”

Kili took a few steps forward, before looking to his brother. He would nod a quiet ‘you win’ to his brother. Fili had, afterall, claimed that she had truly exhisted. Kili had figured someone was doing something with all the letters, and he had agreed to name his invisible guardian ‘Delva’ but it had been Fili who had been believing their guardian existed in the first place. Over the years, Kili’s doubt had gradually increased. It was a bit humbling to see the person he thought hadn’t really been around right in front of his face. For one of the few times in his life, Kili was speechless.
