Kasey knew something was wrong and didn't want to tell her.
Arla ran over to Merry and gave him a big hug. "I'm glad you're safe." she said then she realized wat she did and backed away. "Sorry."
Merry-
Somehow this battle for his friends had somehow stirred his heart and mind to think differently. His suspisions about Arla had been completely erased from his thoughts and he now smiled,
"There is no need to apalogize, Arla. I am glad you are safe as well."
His smile brightened even more, gazing into her eyes a few moments until it was finally broken as he looked back down at the little girl by his feet,
"I bet your Mother is as well, dear Eastà. It would be such a terrible tragedy to lose you."
Frodo-
Frodo looked up at Kasey with a joyous sparkle in his eyes, there was silence a few minutes, when finally he asked,
"Are the others well? Did they escape from the Orc's?"
Without even thinking he put a hand to his shoulder as the infection grew steadily within him. Realizing what he had done, he quickly put his hand back down and slid it into hers.
