Gilded Bay Kids these days

Wrapping up here!

"Oh, duh," Chip replied sheepishly. It sounded like these ladies were still pretty wishy-washy (haha, water puns), but Chip didn't mind. She was pretty wishy-washy herself, so maybe she would fit right in after all.

The wolf finally introduced herself, and Chip figured it was probably a good idea to return the favor now that she was sorta kinda part of their unofficial little group. Well, she assumed it was a little group. For all she knew, there were dozens of wave worshippers awaiting to welcome her into the fold.

"I'm Chipmunk; Chip for short." She paused to consider the offer Akantha had proposed, wondering if it would be better to find the place on her own or follow the dark wolf back to the group. "I guess I'll tag along with you," she replied. "And, uh, sorry for being such a bitch to you at first. I get cranky when I'm half-starved." Chip gave Akantha an apologetic look, then allowed her new comrade to lead the way "home."
