"[i]Me?[/i] Do you truly mean that?" Kili could not believe his good fortune; had to sit himself down to comprehend what this might mean. It was no secret that Kili was a dreamer, he dreamed of many things. Of reclaiming their homeland, of aiding Thorin in battle. He dreamed of seeing new places and faraway lands...but never in his life had he considered seeing these things from the sky. 

"I would like that -- I would like that a great deal." Kili could not get over this, and he could not seem to take his eyes off of the powerful wings so near to him. "I never even heard of...well, aside from birds, and dragons," in his own excitement he started to ramble a bit; their journey had yet to begin, and here he was offered the possibility to one day fly.

"KILI! Where are ya, lad?!" Dwalin's gruff, irritable voice broke through his thoughts, and Kili nearly jumped out of his seat. He'd forgotten about the others.
