Astra is clearly annoyed by what Fred said, but he isn't quite sure why. Being from a culture where the men are dominant, it would never occur to him that his attitude could be seen as insultingly patronising.
Astra reflects that at least now she can be sure that Fred, as he claims, genuinely is a knight from Allaria. She realises that she really does badly need his help, though she has no intention of telling him so. It's not primarily for the reason that Fred thinks, however. It's his draconic ability to see in almost total darkness that she needs. Until she can find a torch - or better, one of her Lightstones - she can see very little apart from the area immediately in front of Fred that is very dimly illuminated by the glow from his eyes. Without him, she would be groping around in the dark. "You said that Velus went that way?" she says, pointing in the direction that Fred had indicated. At least, she hopes that she is, as she can't actually see the tunnel mouth that he mentioned. "That's right." "Come on then."
