Honestly, it makes me so happy to know Kiki's getting her mom back after so long, that she's been alive all this time, because as much loss and heartbreak as that girl's going to be staring down over her insanely long life, it's so awesome for her to actually get something back. Especially since it's not just her mom, but maybe the only other person who would know what it means to be the Voice of the Tempest and all the expectations that go along with it. It was going to be such a lonely existence for her, ultimately, and now maybe she won't be quite so alone.
... and the fact that her mom is coming back to her fresh off a few days of firsthand experience with Beau and Yasha and the Mighty Nein's chaos dumbassery absolutely fucking delights me.
(Seriously, I can totally imagine Vilya like "let me tell you about these frighteningly competent chucklefucks who helped me get back here," and Keyleth sort of sheepishly having to explain to her that hi, Mom, my friends are just as ridiculous but somehow they let a lot of us be in charge of things and be champions of the gods? Like. Vilya telling her about all the polymorph flight escapades and Keyleth having to explain the FLYING COWS shenanigans.)
