Out of the Woods: Bingo Bolger-Baggins

[bingo_bolger_baggins]

*looks back wistfully at the clearing as they head east through the trees*

*muses silently to himself* Farewell to the place where I almost lost my life. You are also the place where I was given back my life by the hand of a dear friend, and so, cold and rocky though you are, I will miss you.

Though we do not have to go far, I fear it is further than my legs will carry me.

*leans against Arathorn as they follow the hobbit stranger*

My feet are still tender, and my hip feels each step like fire. *hobbles a bit slower with each step*

Yes . . . yes, it is. *doesn't feel anything at all*

Well, what are we going to do? I don't mean to be all panicky, but you can't walk there; that's clear.

*closes his eyes and takes some breathes, tries to clear his head and focus* You should go back. You don't what to spend the night out here. Y-you couldn't do any more than I could. We're not armed. *feels very afraid*

Well, I'm not going to just leave you here! *starts looking around* If I go back and get the wheel barrow, then neither of us have to spend the night in the forest. Maybe I can put leaves all over you to hide you? I'll be back as fast as I can. *is worried*

I don't think leaves would deter . . . it at all. Smell. They go by smell. *shivers* But you should go.

OK. *helps him get up on his elbows as she slides out, gets up* I won't be long. I promise. *pats his arm* See you soon. *looks around to mark the spot, runs off to the farmstead as fast as she can*

Farewell, Gary. *doubts he will see her again, curls up against a tree, shivering and filled with fear*
