Leia had packed her bag carefully, prioritizing what she needed most.  There was of course her bedroll and a warm cloak for later on, and trail rations to supplement whatever she could hunt and gather on the way.  The tools for maintaining her gear came with, as did a small medkit, and a ball of tinder to help fires start more easily.  All in all the bag was of decent heft, but Leia carried it with minimal difficulty.

She walked a little behind Astlo, keeping an eye on the Professor just in case the older man needed assistance.  He lived a rather sedentary life, and she knew he was unused to trekking long distances, even along roads as they were now.  The thinner air as they continued would only make things harder.  Fortunately Astlo had a good head on his shoulders, and seemed to recognize his limits, saying that they should take a break in the near future.

Leia was also keeping an eye on the Champion-Apparent.  While the woman was from a northern country, Leia was under the impression that she didn't get out much, meaning the exertion of their trip would be a potential strain for her.  If Astlo was fine the younger woman should be alright as well, but that wasn't a guarantee.
