It's been months since the last party Thranduil had held in the gardens, and Kili finds that it is a welcome reprieve from the worries this jump, and others before it have brought about. Everyone could use a bit of cheering up, and a party was just the way to do it. There's no Dorwinion this time, but that's alright in Kili's book, really. Besides that, he's hardly a shy dwarf, greeting everyone with a smile and a pleased 'Hello', an offer of a drink following quickly no matter whether he knows them or not.

Later on, he might be found with one of the instruments his brother has brought down from their room, fiddle or harp, and the more he drinks the higher a chance that he'll be belting out drinking songs.
