Gilded Bay Kids these days

Chip had her doubts (a whole lot of them), but she wasn't exactly in the position to negotiate. This one and Meteora seemed pretty gung-ho about the ocean, and Chip was perceptive enough to realize that they were touchy about it… and lacked a sense of humor. That didn't mean that Chip was going to change the way she behaved around them, of course.

"Yeah, okay. Where do I sign up?" she asked. Was she "in" just by showing interest in not dying? Chip couldn't care less about the ocean, though she had grown fond of living near it—not to mention the delicious fishes! But hey, if these folks were willing to give her a chance, she'd do the same.
