Gilded Bay i don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer

It had been several weeks since she'd left Moonspear, and honestly, if Mintaka hadn't been so interested in seeing absolutely everything they probably would've gotten further than they had. But she'd really enjoyed it so far - exploring and not being watched all the time. The biggest downside was that she was hungrier, but even that was survivable. It wasn't like they were starving or anything, even if she had lost quite a bit of puppy fat in the last few weeks. 

It was cold where they were, likely because of the lack of cover from the brittle wind and the approach into winter. But the mountain had been cold too, so she wasn't going to complain. Silver fur fluffed up against the chill and she shook herself, trotting a bit to keep up with her companion. 

Apparently where they were going was really cool. She just couldn't tell whether it was cool temperature-wise, or objectively cool. 

The hard ground turned soft under her paws, clinging to her fur like mud but not quite. She frowned, pressing her paw harder into the soft ground and making a better print, her tail starting to wag behind her. As they walked, the wind died down and she didn't have to fluff up against it anymore, and there was a weird rushing sound that filled her ears. The smell of salt drifted in on the air. 

"Oh wow!" she breathed, when the expanse of water came into view. The girl picked up the pace and ran down, dodging more rugged terrain and skidding to a halt just before she touched the ocean. "It's huge! This is the ocean?" she asked, spinning around to face the larger wolf, eyes round and excited. "It's so cool!"
