Stavanger Bay Sand & Lead

There was no sign of this discussion going anywhere but badly, or perhaps they simply were ignoring the facts willingly. Julep was ready to snap back at whatever comment blew off of the girls maw, but she was taken aback when it did. Your father? Skellige? Could this really her cousin? Suddenly all the anger and frustration were replaced by disbelief and surprise.

Piper? she couldn't believe it, but the excitement kicked in. Holy shit! It is you! she barked and her tail couldn't stop dancing. It's Julep she said with joy still tainted by disbelief I'm Szymon's daughter! she clarified, reinforcing what she's been saying since she'd arrived. You do remember me, don't you? she asked hopefully, testing the new terrain into which Sandpiper had forcefully -and thankfully- thrown both of them into. If this was really Sandpiper and they'd been sent to reclaim Skellige's land then perhaps Julep could finally say she was back home (not to mention that she wouldn't have to get her paws dirty).

But wait. Did you say us? Is anyone else here with you? she asked, anxiously taking one step forward. Is my father here? My mother? It  was a long shot, but Julep was ever hopeful that she would have her family reunited one day.
