He has the quiet assurance of someone who knows the paths better than the people following them. Water darkens his gray coat, but his light, outward-turned steps carry a steady confidence through the forest.

A village peasant who serves as a guide, he leads the way through the forest with a light, practiced step. The text gives him no larger personal arc, but his unassuming competence makes him a vivid presence in the journey.
Description
He wears a plain gray peasant coat and a white knitted cap, practical clothing that marks him as a working villager. His bast shoes and outward-turned toes give his walk a distinctive, lightly stepping rhythm. At one point his clothes are soaked through; his face, age, and build are not specified.
