[Mahal, is Kili nervous. The ritual, though traditional, is simple, and it's not difficult to get through. It's when he settles into the chair, Thorin fetching the needle, that he starts to get a bit scared.
He looks to Fili for support, eyes wide and conveying his anxiety. Part of him wants to reach for him, but the rest of him doesn't want to look childish.
He can't help the sharp gasp of pain as he feels his uncle begin to work at his right shoulder blade. The ink will go down to his elbow once it's done, and Kili is suddenly keenly aware of how long that will take.]
