*returns with firewood; glances at Bingo and sees him fumbling with his clothing Oh dear, he could pass out if I don't do something...but what? Eru guide me; calmly begins to build a small fire*

*speaks with a gentle voice* Bingo, stop. I'll do that for you. Please. *walks over and covers the Hobbit's hand with his own; looks into his eyes*

You're bleeding now. Just a little. It must have happened when I carried you. Forgive me. I'm going to get some water in a cup and warm it. Then we can take off that shirt of yours. *releases Bingo's hand then reaches for the tin cup that was in his knapsack; stands and walks to the stream*
