Thranuilas, who has been hiding in the shadows among a couple of dark trees, saw Julia approaching, and swiftly ran towards her, hiding from the light. He has taken off the exquisite velvet robe, and was now dressed in simple black leather and fabric, hiding his long hair beneath a hood.
He pulled down the scarf, covering all of his face except for eyes, to show that it really is him, and reached after the map. "May I look? I can read maps quite well." he asked, studying the map with his eyes in the meantime. It was old and its edges were lightly tattered, but the shapes, drawn by black and red ink, were visible.
He snapped his fingers to produce a small flame, and shielded the light by his other hand, both to hide it, and to protect it from the wind.
