--- Lily ---
In the end, Lily decided to put off looking for answers for now. The best thing about investigating a race track was that it was circular, so she would eventually make her way back to the start. That allowed her to look for treasure chests, and see how much time that took her before coming back and searching for the paper if she felt like she had time. Lily suspected she would feel like she didn't, but that was just a guess.
Lily ducked into the current, just a touch. She made sure to stay on the edge where she could easily slip out of the artificial slipstream to investigate the first 'ring' when she arrived. It was a much slower and calmer ride, though she did have to fight a little bit not to get turned around due to only having the one wing in the current.
