Hearing his words; she couldn't help but smile softly. It was a pleasant surprise, that he had somewhat warmed up to her friends. "They are family." she said softly...despite difference of Kin. Yavanna did consider them family. "Thank you, for everything you've done..not just for me. But for them too." she said softly. She'd never forget his aid...in many different ways.

As she spotted Tauriel. The red-haired elf gave Yavanna a soft smile. The two girls had said goodbyes, earlier on. But Tauriel was waiting for Legolas. Yavanna looked up into this icy beautiful blue eyes. As she felt him press a kiss to her forehead..she closed her eyes. Her hand squeezed his back softly...before their hands separated. Her fingers briefly brushed against his, during their release. Before she watched the two walk away from the Mountain. Yavanna's thoughts lingered on his touch, the forehead-kiss...the moments he brought her comfort. Once the two were out of her view...Yavanna walked back into the halls of the mountain.

Walking beside Legolas, in silence for a bit. Tauriel finally spoke. "Are you okay?" she asked him softly; wondering how he was coping with his decision.
