[Child of the 7th Age]

Andreth tried to help Holly as best she could. She did not have great knowledge of woodcraft, but she did have considerable skill and experience in the use of her hands.

Andreth had finished working on the sheltered lean-to. At least if harsh weather hit, the injured Ranger could be kept dry and warm. She began gathering the soft fir boughs that the hobbit had requested to place beneath the Ranger's bed. She also started cutting down the proper young saplings that would be needed to help make a sledge. Now that the entire camp was staying in one place, there were many who volunteered to aid in her work.

Andreth glanced around the encampment. She saw Whinney feeding on a few stray bushes, but nowhere could she see the horse that Holly called Peri. Quite a while ago, he'd drifted off towards the woods with a strange bird flying overhead in circles. But the bird was long gone, probably flown off someplace far distant, and she could not see the horse anywhere.

Holly had taken a short break from the side of the Ranger to get a drink of water. Andreth approached her and asked, "Do you know where Peri wandered off to? I haven't seen him in quite a while. I don't mean to worry you. Just wanted to make sure he was alright."
