It is his voice. The voice she heard so little of but knows so well. His voice is soft but strong, alive in a way that it is too impossible to be real. His eyes are bright with life even if they shimmer with tears as well. This is Kili, her Kili, whom she would know anywhere. But he cannot be more than a memory, or perhaps her grief has taken her life. Surely the agony she felt was great enough to take her life, though she would have hoped to find some relief from her pain upon death, not more agony.
"Oh Kili, must you always doubt my presence?" she asked. The smile she gave him was tired and took great effort, but it was genuine and more than she had given anyone else these last days. Whatever force may be sending this vision, she will not let it rob her of the joy at seeing him again, no matter the intent behind this. She would take what joy she could in being reunited with the one she loved.
"I am real but I fear that you are not," she told him, reaching out to brush away the tears upon his cheeks. This is not how she wished to remember him. For all that she was the one who should walk in starlight it was Kili who was the brighter of the two. What use had she of starlight when Kili shone ever brighter? "For I saw you die and while I avenged you, I know such a thing would not bring you back. I know not for what purpose such a vision of you has been brought to me but I will take what joy in it that I may find. It is good to see you again."
