--- Lily ---
Once they got back onto the road it was just a matter of passing the time. Lily did occasionally carry the group with her shadows, but it was much harder to do so at speed without Kat. Instead, it was limited to at most five minute segments as a way to help the other four to get some of their stamina back… and it was a tough run.
Lily and co passed a number of other people travelling along the road, even those heading towards the city. They outpaced some horses in order to try and make it there before too long. When it came time to rest at night the other four collapsed. Lily was tempted to do the same but, just in case, she decided to keep a watch over the night.
Nothing attacked them in the end… but there was more than one sapient scout that approached the tent. Lily would simply flare her shadows and make them all lean towards the person once she spotted them and they'd back off. Lily wasn't sure what she would've done if they pressed the issue… but nobody did.
