So before I begin this, I wanna clarify that I know that it's not usually a good idea to start editing before you've finished your first draft, but this has been nagging at my brain for so long that I wanna get answers. This way I have notes for later editing purposes. With that being said, here's my question.
The first chapter of my story ends with the two main characters dropping off someone they were escorting in a village. I do not describe their time in the village. Instead, the chapter ends with them reaching it. The second chapter jumps ahead a couple of days. The person they were escorting has already left, and they are just now leaving. They go to the capital of the kingdom, and some things happen that lead them to bumping back into the person that they were escorting. So my question is, is it awkward to end one chapter with them approaching one location, and then starting the next with them leaving a few days later? Sorry if this isn't making any sense, my brain is having a hard time wrapping around if this is even an issue or not. Also, I must add that there is another time jump between them leaving and them reaching the capital.
Perhaps I should just have them pass through the town, and escort the individual all the way to the capital?
