Holly looked up at the red-haired woman who stood near her. ‘I really would appreciate it if you felt that you could stay with me while Volondil gains his strength.’ She motioned the woman to crouch down beside her. ‘What I will need you to do, first of all is to put together some shelter for us.’ She pointed out a place under the trees to the side of the road.

‘If you look in that heap over there where I piled the packs and extra supplies from Peri, there is a large tarp we can use for a lean-to shelter. Do you think you can get that set up with the aid of some of the other comapanions, and then see if you can find Volondil’s bedroll and perhaps borrow an extra blanket that we could use for padding.’

She checked his wound as she talked and noted that it had already begun to ooze a little through the packing. ‘My hatchet is there on the side of that first pack, cut some fir bows and we can use them for cushioning under his blanket.’ She put her hand on Andreth’s arm. ‘Thanks again, for offering to help. Now that I’ve thought on it, I’ll need help getting him to the shelter and in turning him. It will also be good to have two of us, so that we can keep watch – not just on him, but on the road also.’

Andreth stood and headed toward the piled packs. Holly called out to her. ‘Oh, and about that device for when we want to travel with him – it sounds like a good idea. But, still we’ll have to let his wound heal enough so that the slightest motion does not bring on bleeding.’

‘Bird,’ she thought to herself, looking in the direction the jackdaw and Peri had gone, ‘please, hurry back!’
