Marroc was relieved when the old man came out of the woods. Sondo seemed suspicious, a few of the other hobbits seemed ready to accept the man's help. He had a kind face and Marroc was completely prepared to accept his help on getting out of the forest.
He was the one who left the medicine for Bingo. He had to be. Marroc couldn't believe this old man meant them any harm. He watched the old man's movements carefully. He was trying to think what his father would do.
Mongo Brandybuck was always willing to help and accept help if he needed it. He was never too proud to turn someone away. Marroc felt the same way. They needed help and this old man could help.
And there was something about him. Something Marroc couldn't place. He had heard tales from older hobbits about this kind of man coming through the Shire from time to time. A wizard. But this man couldn't be Gandalf, could he?
