As per the instructions, Gwen stopped Freyja from rising too high, not wanting to get out of shouting distance from the ground. So she and Freyja settled into a low altitude flight pattern, going in circles to prevent herself from completely overtaking the rest of the party.
It seemed as though she might have been a more practical choice for forward scout, maybe taking one of the mages along for signal purposes, but she had to assume the woman in charge knew her business; she was some kind of refugee guide through these mountains, after all. Maybe there was some kind of trouble that the shifty mage woman could pick up on foot that Gwen would have missed from the air -- she was the first to admit that magic was not her area of expertise.
As they flew, Gwen tried to keep an eye on the road behind the ground party, ready to give the word if anything came up behind them.
