This almost sounded like a request and he wasn't sure if he should be asking things like this. Still, he continues.] ...it will help me to retain my strength here. In the same way that you prayed for me when I was injured.

Ah and a map would be useful, if you would not mind. I am sure I could find my way there but this way will be faster in the end.
