You find yourself cruising by one of the Mass' coastlines after a few hours of travel. All that cognitive suggestion to stay away from large bodies of water doesn't do much good when you're biologically inclined to keep near 'em. Dry inland weather is hell for your poor fins.
You're jonesing to find a suitably abandoned or otherwise easy to nab shelter to call your own. First take, first serve: that's how it is out here.
But you're also pretty damn hungry. It's been a long night, and a growing boy has got to eat.
