Althea and Garan's group had been rushing back for more than a week since they left Warrior City. It was really not nearby at all, and it was a hassle because they could not use the Mercenary Hall arrays due to the composition of their party.
Fortunately, they had Sol, who was quite a bit faster than beast carts, especially since the maximum level of beasts that could be 'tamed' was only around level 15. Without Sol, they definitely would take much longer to get to their current spot.
During this time, since they had entered the town region far away from the city, they didn't bother to cover up the dwarves anymore. As long as they were confident with their overall strength, they would have no need to endure discomfort.
Now, the dwarves were openly hanging on to the orcs, and their group had gotten quite familiar with each other.
