"Hmmmm..."

Nathan turns one of the maps sideways.  Stares at it.

Turns it upside down, stares at it some more.

"...ummmm..."

Turns it...right side up?  How is he supposed to even read this map?  Is he even holding it the right way around?

He puts the first one down and shakes his head.  "...sorry, Terra, but I've got no clue where that first one is supposed to be off the top of my head."

He looks at the second one...

"...well, that's a better start...I can at least recognize the western coast of Creshire on this map...and then it says to go west, over the ocean...ummmm..."

Another head shake.

"...there's not enough information on there for me to decipher it on the spot.  There might be something there...or there might not.  Honestly, I have no idea how good those maps are.  Or even when you'll be able to use them or where exactly they're telling the reader to go.  Neither of them even say what exactly you're looking for, either..."

He shrugs, then hands the maps back.

"Sorry 'bout that, Terra.  Guess I'm not much help here since I'm not a well traveled cartographer...er, map maker."

Terra shrugs back good naturally, accepting his maps with nonchalance and putting backing into his deep pockets.

"It is fine. You found one treasure map.....not show a place in Cheshire, and found good starting point for treasure hunt on the other, so you were big help.  *Smiles* Thank you, my friend."

He almost asked about what in the world was a 'cartographer' was, but Nathan beat him to the punch and simplified the term pre-emtively, earning him a nod of understanding and another thankful, if somewhat bashful smile. On one hand its a good thing the boy understand him well enough to do that, but on the other it highlights how obviously......unlearned he is when somebody take the time getting to know him. At least he's learning and not being pitied/derided for it, though, so that's good!

(If Nathan doesn't have anything more to add, then Terra's ready to end the conversation, and therefore has nothing else to do until its time for the group to get moving!)
