Belegond sat next to Kili, smoking a pipe and gazing into the roaring fire.
"So that was a tough journeywas it not my dear friens?" Belegond said to Kili.
"Aye, worse than last time. But at least no one dropped the supplies!" he replied laughing.
"Yes, I was quite clumsy, but hopefully I will never experience hunger like that again!" he smiled back.
"Belegond?"
"Yes Kili?"
"I found this on the road from Bree, I believe it was left a a tracking device, only you would leave such a thing. Is it yours?" Kili revealed Yanithe's pin, the horse shaped one she had dropped instead of letting him leave his chain.
"Ah! That is Yanithe's, thankyou Kili, I am sure she will be glad to recive it." He took the pin and placed it on his belt. He then lay back and fell asleep.
