Chapter 1655 Mush!
--- Kat --- (The following day)
Hunter had started putting on more layers as they moved deeper into the snowy area. It was kind of amusing to watch actually because Hunter didn't stop to put everything on all at once. First she added a beany, then a scarf, then her shirt got swapped out. Finally Hunter added a bunch of these sticky pads along her tail that radiated some heat. Kat had actually been expecting a stocking or something but heating pads made sense too.
Kat and crew were making good time. They'd passed a few other groups in just the one day, though quite a few were heading out of the mountains. Kat almost wanted to stop and ask them why they were leaving the mountain in such numbers… but in truth she had no idea how busy the road normally was. It could be a perfectly reasonable amount of traffic. Meg also checked to ensure that none of them had the drake piece on them… and nobody did. Wasn't a surprise but the check did need to be performed.
