The moment stretched out as adrenaline roared through Lily's system. Then one second became ten, and ten became twenty. Lily started to calm a bit. Then a full minute had passed and no sign of Romilda. Lily wanted to lean out and check what was going on but she had no practice at all with this form and doing anything too stupid would make her look extremely suspicious. Avoiding that suspicion was the entire point of this… but Lily still had a problem.
Namely, how to figure out what Romilda was doing. The dwarf was still quite some distance away when Lily had chosen to backtrack and hide in the trees. It was entirely possible that after spotting one of the giant crabs Romilda had backed off, or, that she was taking this incredibly carefully as she entered into the kelp grove, looking for treasure.
