[Unlike some of their search party, Kale is able to fly under her own power. However, it's tiring if she does it for long and she'll need to save her energy for the battle to come. But it does give her something to offer.]

I...um. I can fly without a dragon.

[She's still going to take the dragon mount that was offered, because it'll make transporting people back much easier.]

M-maybe I should be on the side flank just in case one of the kidnappers tries to attack us? I could take them right off of their dragon mount.
