This is the greeting that Kit offers Rutile as he stumbles upon the scene they've created, and though the smile he offers to his peculiar new friend is genuine, he looks equally concerned about the crying kid. There's not much in the world that can more effectively tug at Kit's heartstrings than the sight of a child in distress, even if the child is probably an alien.
He ambles over, already putting on his most disarming of warm smiles for the child; thankfully, being so short, he doesn't have to kneel down that far to be on eye level with her. "Hey there," he says, eyes crinkling fondly a little at their corners, "it's all right, we're gonna help you out."
The child has not completely stopped crying, but her tears have slowed some. She looks uncertainly between the dwarf and the gem, seeming suddenly too shy to speak her mind.
