Kíli couldn’t help the smile that spread across his features, bright and lively as the dawn. “Tauriel!” He cried, dashing towards her before stopping short, realizing at the last moment that throwing his arms around the elf in an undignified fashion was probably not the most becoming of ideas. He straightened his back and held his chin high before offering her a nod, doing his best to seem poised, though he couldn’t hold back his grin. “It’s been - a very long time.”

Her brows rose high and her smile only spread more as she watched him flare up like a pup. She noted how he looked so well, he always looked so.. Unlike other dwarfs– which wasn’t a bad thing at all in her mind..

Her age and naive nature took hold as she gave way to merry laughter, in one stride her lithe form had covered the distance between the two and her arms encompassed his person. Lifting his small form into the air with ease, she spun in a circle before setting him back down. “I have aged more in these passing months than I have in a century, tell me of time.”
