Well, aside from their new mage, that is. She's bored, and curious. Making portals to known places is straightforward enough, with the magic she found, but that's far from the limit of what it can do... so one day, she slips away, portals off to a different cave system - one can't be too careful, after all - and experiments.
Temperature roughly the same... gravity roughly the same... air the same, not into stone or underwater or in a volcano or on top of a mountain... but, instead of patterning it after a place she knows, what happens if she only specifies those things, and lets the innate patterns of the spot she's casting on do the rest? Particularly this one part, which seems to specify the world...
She finishes the spell, and hesitates for just a moment before activating it.
Okay, to the next town by carriage, then.
There may be cuddles: the kobold's mood is improved enough that she doesn't quite feel a need for them, but she also doesn't see any reason not to; they're quite compatible with reading.
Cuddles are indeed compatible with reading! That is a nice thing about them. Pet pet. Kiri supplies definitions as the kobold encounters words she doesn't already know.
Eventually they get to the next town.
Once they've been to all the towns, the kobold can teleport the carriage back, if Kiri and Aleko would like to save the travel time. She'll need to go have a look at where it goes, but that's no problem.
"...The horses won't like it," muses Kiri. "But it's a lot faster and I don't know how much the horses won't like it."
The kobold knows very little about horses, certainly not enough to guess whether it would be worth it.
"These are the mellow ones. I bet they'd get over it. I can give them apples when we get home. And it'd save my ass the extra day of driving." (As the kobold has gotten more conversational Aleko has started talking aloud more.)
...Which fails, because she was paying it too much attention. She goes back whence she came, picks the belt up, puts it on, observes how well it goes with her outfit (Aleko knows his business), and teleports home again. Much better.
The kobold is no longer exactly secret, and neither is the teleportation, but Kiri shoos the stablehand anyway just to avoid having the conversation about teleporting horses right away.
A few moments later, there is the carriage, with Aleko and a couple of alarmed horses, and then another moment after that, the kobold.
"Want to go install the last few bellpulls and then help me practice magic?" Kiri asks the kobold.
...they're going to need to go back to that one town to figure out where to put its bellpull, huh. The kobold is nervous about it.
The kobold examines the spot, and then teleports back and gets to work finishing up the bellpull collection.
