Falco watched as Mirabella left the fire to go look for the others. He hoped she would find Ben, Rosie, and Ama all together. The thought of losing one of his companions to the river because of Olo's mistakes sent a feeling of anger surging through him. Falco glared up at Olo, who he felt was responsible for this catastrophe.

"This is all your fault Olo!" Falco shouted.
"You should not have come up with the idea for this silly adventure and remained on land where hobbits belong! If we had none of us would be sitting here freezing with no idea where we are and wondering if any of our companions are dead!"

Olo flinched and turned his head away from Falco. Falco was about to continue his tirade when Ferd placed a hand on his shoulder stopping him.

"Stop Falco. Olo feels bad enough as it is leave him alone."

"Yes, stop it Falco." Penny said to him. "Now is not the time or place for placing blame on anyone."

"What are you two talking about! We all could have died because of him!" Falco shouted losing all of his calm.

"Just stop Falco! We'll talk about this later when we find everyone else." Penny said to him.

"If we find everyone else." Falco whispered and began pawing through his knapsack to see what had survived after being soaked by the river. The loaf of bread was all mush but the dried beef would be all right. It could maybe last them a day or so before they ran out. His knife was no longer in the bag Probably resting somewhere on the bottom of the river. However, two containers of water had survived the journey to shore. Shaking his head, Falco hoped they could recover some more supplies because what he had would not last them long.
