The forest floor is a tapestry of damp, russet leaves that crackle underfoot as the last amber light of dusk bleeds through the bare branches. Nearby, a cold stream chatters over stones, its sound woven with a soft, lilting melody. Kili, still smarting from his harsh words with Fili, halts mid-stride.

He lifts a hand in a hesitant, awkward wave. "Hello. And who might you be?" His voice comes out gentler than he ever intended.
