Athwen looked up at Dorran. Her conscience pricked her. He had not been around for the last hour and she had not noticed - leaving all the work with the horses to him without even offering to help. Besides that, it was clear on his face that he had spent that time worrying about something and she hadn’t even noticed.
“Do you think they are alright? Should someone go out and see what has happened?”
Athwen knew Dorran well enough that he wouldn’t throw around empty and useless suggestions. At least, he wouldn’t think them useless or empty. He was clearly worried and wanted to do something about it. She stood up quickly.
“You and I can go, Dorran,” she said, coming towards him. “Surely it wouldn’t do much harm,” she added, turning towards Aiwendil and Lindir.
