Stopping for lunch turned into quite a lot of effort for quite a few people, Kat and Lily included, despite the fact neither of them had planned to eat anything. A large number of the dragonkin were simply exhausted by the time lunch rolled around. They might not have left at the crack of dawn but they'd been walking for quite a few hours at this point with just the one small break when waiting for Malt and Lily to meet up with the group again. After that it was multiple tense hours of light jogging.
The only saving grace was that they hadn't encountered any bubbles yet. There were a few Bower could sense but they were off to the sides and easily avoided so they simply did. None of the nonsense they'd needed to deal with on the way in. The bubbles seemed to behaving normally once again… which did mean it was likely they'd eventually run into the middle of one and the question of what to do then did hang heavy on the minds of the people who'd thought of it.
