Finally, the grey-green creature moved, registering its location in the feline's mind. Ready to finish her daily morning hunt and return to camp so she could start her duties and clean the muck off of her paws. One leap was all it took and her claws were sinking into the animal's wrinkled, scaly skin. The lizard hanging out of her mouth, Halfgaze trudged in the direction of camp, climbing onto dry, sturdy land once more with a sigh of relief. No matter how long she had lived in Shadowclan and no matter how much Shadowclan blood ran through her veins, Halfgaze didn't think she'd ever like the feeling of the bogs. The deputy started slowly for camp, drinking in the crisp morning before she had to get to work.

Goldenstar had been wandering in a way, looking for prey. Leafbare was going to be hard, Well, hopefully not too hard, but hard enough. If only they had a better way to store prey so they could keep it over the winter. He guessed that wasn’t how things were meant to be. Life was meant to be hard from time to time, even though he considered it a bit harsh that the clans had to endure this. He had picked up the scent of Halfgaze, but didn’t follow it. Later, he figured out that he wasn’t going to find any prey right now, and just headed back to camp. It was the same complaint in his head, why did leafbare have to exist? He told himself he shouldn’t complain, but he didn’t think he was alone in hating the season. Sure, it was fun to play around in snow, but everything else just wasn't nice in any way. When he was almost at camp, he spotted Halfgaze, and padded over as quickly as possible. “Halfgaze!” he called, hoping to get the deputy’s attention as quickly as possible. She wasn’t in trouble, Golden just wanted to talk about some things, decisions that were hard for him to make on his own.”Do you have a moment?” he added afterwards, smiling. He hadn’t talked to Halfgaze in awhile, and he would feel much better talking to her about some of theses issues.
