We're now back to Kat and "friends"
---
Kat's group headed off not long after Otiss. Xiang did try to walk by himself but when Kat nudged him lightly in the back with her tail he fell over. Only the fact Kat was ready to catch him stopped his face meeting the floor. With solid proof of his inability to walk, Kat threw him into the snake head and ignored his desire to be let down. Apparently he wasn't willing to risk jumping down while she was moving and Kat used that to her advantage.
From there, the journey was rather boring, though a bit frustrating for Kat. If she was completely unburdened, it wasn't even a day away. With the extra weight it was stretched out to just over one. Yet with the snake head's size, the journey was stretched to an awkward four days.
