#when Lila is looking for him in agos she is reminded of the kerchief and she's sad bc she doesn't have anything of his :(

I'm reading Mistborn and Elend just gave Vin a handkerchief that symbolically means that he wants to court her seriously and it reminded me that a kerchief is the first object that linked Kell and Lila and a symbolic pledge of love from their first encounter onward. The first night they met, Kell is mad because Lila used her kerchief to distract him and he uses it to locate her. He uses it to locate her again after the first time they travel together, anxious and afraid that she didn't make it to RL. The kerchief is the last object Kell has of Lila after she leaves in adsom and the sappy dude looks at it longingly because it made him think about her. He wanted to locate her so badly during agos but he never did because he respected Lila's decision to go her own way. He probably thought that if they were meant to meet again, they would, and in fact, they did. Cry, shaking, throwing up because Kell still had the kerchief in acol
