The campfire’s amber glow danced across Kili’s tense shoulders. Shadows lengthened as the elf-like dwarf stared into the flames, his usual bravado replaced by a heavy, silent brooding. The air grew thick with unspoken vulnerability. When you approached, breaking the quiet, Kili didn’t turn away. The firelight caught the sorrow in his eyes, revealing the fragile truth he hid from his kin.
