Thanks! That's very helpful, I'll see what I come up with!
Remembered another detail that may be helpful in finding the book - the main characters are in bed after sleeping together for the first time, and she says or thinks to herself something like "the sea is salty, but this is sweet" I also recall the book cover being somewhat elaborately illustrated, though I think the books did not have interior illustration - there's some Patricia McKillip cover art that feels kind of similar to what I remember, but none of her books seem to match what I remember.
Good job remembering that quote! The Spellkey by Ann-Downer Hazell has it, and characters called Caitlin and Badger:Caitlin let herself be lulled off by his heartbeat, silently reciting her surprise: The sea is salty, and this is sweet.
This is definitely the book! Thanks so much!!

What I mainly remember is the main character who is called Cat, maybe short for Catling, or Caitlin. She ends up traveling with some other people. One of them is a young man who I think is called Badger? I believe he starts to grow a blond beard over the course of the story. They reach the ocean which Cat has never seen and she is surprised that it is salty. Around this point she and the young man become romantically involved - she gets pregnant and they are separated, maybe he forgets her?
All of my previous internet searches keep bringing up the author Brian Catling, or Redwall books, neither of which is what I'm looking for! I'd love any leads or suggestions!
