[Kili takes his uncle's hand, pulling himself up onto the pony behind him. His arms loop around Thorin's waist, and Kili leans in against him.
He dozes for a good part of the ride, his face pressed lightly against Thorin's back. He's not quite sure why he's so tired, but he takes what little sleep he can, knowing Thorin will wake him if anything's wrong.
When he isn't sleeping, Kili's abnormally quiet, his thoughts back home with Fili. His brother has most certainly noticed his absence by now. Kili wonders what he's doing right now. Is Fili angry with him? Kili wouldn't blame him. He shouldn't have run off like he did, but at least with Thorin he's safe.
The break is appreciated, and Kili winces just slightly as he slides off the pony. He yawns and stretches out, stumbling and catching himself on a nearby tree.]
They hurt. [Kili's reply is honest.] But I'm holding up alright.
