Stavanger Bay High expectations are the key to everything

The male seemed calm and engaged in the conversation seemingly easily. Beric hadn't heard of Swiftcurrent Creek before, but it didn't surprise him since it was a week's travel away. Since Beric had joined the Bay, he hadn't left. Even before then, his life consisted mostly of the beach and it's immediate surroundings. It's nice to meet you, Shadow, he responded. It was nice because it appeared he wouldn't have to chase him off. This is Stavanger Bay, he said, answering Shadow's question, and gesturing towards his home. I like it a lot. The sea gives an interesting view if you get tired of looking at land all the time, and it has... an interesting choice of food. He didn't much care for the creatures that came out of the sea, but other wolves seemed to enjoy it.

As they walked, Beric may have been making conversation, but he was acutely aware of his surroundings, as well. Shadow seemed calm and not like he was up to anything, but as an aspiring Warden, Beric was on guard pretty much all the time. What is Swiftcurrent Creek like? he asked, since he didn't know anything about it.
