She doesn't recognise that tree.
She's been here before, she's not that far from the estate, this isn't some unknown place. She must've taken a wrong turn, of course, but where? She should probably just try to retrace her steps, Jaol will be incredibly mad at her...
Possibly by the first stop, even, if she doesn't mind an illusion that wavers slightly, though definitely by the second stop.
The little fishing village at the first stop is situated amidst numerous lakes and rivers full of creatures that glow faintly in the starlight. They'll stay for what their internal clocks tell them is a day, while Sarati trades and does arcane things on the ship, though no sun rises and the bright stars wander in their own separate patterns.
Tetsuma offers to teach Dayo the beginning of water walking as long as they're there.
"...Yes? It's not all that different from the tree climbing technique, except instead of sticking to a flat surface so you can run up walls, you're pushing off from a moving surface."
So Tetsuma does, starting with a nice, calm lake that has a reasonable temperature, having already double checked with the locals that it's safe to swim.
Tetsuma explains as best he can, but there's still going to be a lot of trial and error building off the 'channel chakra to your feet' lesson from tree climbing. But instead of focusing on a steady flow of chakra, she'll need to adjust to the water as it changes, and be trying to push off ever-so-slightly while also sticking.
...He'd also recommend not wearing anything that can't get wet. She's going to be falling in. A lot.
Yeah 'a few' is a low estimate here. Still, for someone with decent chakra control and enough stubbornness, it's not ludicrously hard.
Her chakra control must also be pretty good to be so talented at genjutsu. Though it's still probably very fortunate that Tetsuma picked a shallow lake.
Tetsuma meditates while Dayo practices, and works some on his wood manipulation. Practice shaping wood finely, mostly.
Yeah, it's pretty exhausting until you get good at it. Though Dayo will probably notice her control improving slightly as her chakra reserves run down. Tetsuma packed a large lunch, though, and they can take plenty of breaks.
She'll probably be able to at least stay upright for a bit by the time they have to go.
Almost certainly. (Tetsuma shows off a bit by running around, then picking up Dayo while standing on the lake, if she seems amenable.)
