Beth doesn't think she's not well loved, she doesn't consider herself to be without friends, but she knows there's a limited number of people who would look for her the way Kili had. She doesn't feel sorry for herself because of that, she thinks that's probably the way it is for most people, but when it comes to her friendship with Kili, she's just aware that it's exceptional, that they have something special, something to be celebrated.

"Y'mean he won't just be glad I'm back to buy jewelry from his store?" she asks with a smile, leaning back on the couch and letting herself get comfortable. Even though she's been back for awhile now, this feels like the first time she's really allowed herself to be comfortable in days. She's not sleepy exactly, but she's warm and content and she nudges Kili gently with her toes as she smiles at him.

"So how're things goin' with Tauriel?" she asks. She's met the elf since she and Kili had first begun to talk of her and Beth still isn't sure what to make of her. Kili is so bright and full of life, and Tauriel had seemed so reserved, but she supposes she's hardly in a place to question the idea of opposites being attracted to each other. As long as they're happy, that's all that matters.
