The campfire’s amber glow danced across Kili’s tense shoulders. Shadows lengthened as the dwarf, whose features held an unwelcome echo of elven grace, stared into the flames. His usual boisterous laughter was absent, swallowed by a brooding quiet that thickened the night air. When you’s footsteps drew near, breaking the silence, he didn’t turn away. The firelight caught the raw sorrow in his dark eyes, unveiling a fragile truth he had locked away from his brother, his uncle, all of them.
