Oystercatcher Tide Pools Book of nature

everything is fine : )

Wraen had seeked Chanel out to take their little beach vacation as planned. Chanel had eagerly followed her leader, looking forward to the sight of the glimmering waves. Well, it was not exactly as she had dreamed- rather dreary, actually. The grayness of winter had easily settled over the land, and the ocean seemed dark and untamed.

Nevertheless, even if it wasn't a sparkling paradise, it was new and interesting. Part of her wanted to go run among the waves that crashed on the shore, to wet her thick fur and submerge herself in the sea. But it was cold. She knew better. 

Wraen began a conversation once again, telling Chanel of how she was taught how to eat clams. Chanel's ears perk with curiosity. "Clams? I've heard of it, but I've never tried it. If you don't mind my wondering, how do you eat it?" She inquired, interest and eagerness dripping from each word like a little kid first learning about the world.
