Even as a kit, leaf are had always been the young tortoiseshell’s favorite season. The snow was so much fun and everything glistened beautifully as the world lay in a snow-muffled silence. The first snowfall was practically a holiday for Halfgaze! If she had known what holidays were. Her love of leaf are had stayed with the she-cat as a warrior, though she had grown more aware of the dangers the season brought. Now, however, Halfgaze felt that leafbare this year brought with it a sense of worry. Now, more than ever, it was her job to ensure the clan’s safety and by the end of her first leafbare as deputy, Halfgaze had a feeling that her love for leafbare would be diminished. The call of a familiar voice halted Halfgaze’s paws and she spotted Goldenstar. Dropping her lizard and sitting down, Halfgaze waited for the leader to reach her and greeted him warmly, “hello, Goldenstar! Sure, what do you want to talk about.” It was well know that Halfgaze took her duties as deputy very seriously, sometimes too seriously, and a tinge of worry colored her voice as she spoke, though her eyes remained calmly focused on her companion’s.

Goldenstar perked up slightly when he saw that Halfgaze had heard him, smiling as he finally got over to her. He saw that she had caught a lizard, however, he didn't have time to discuss that right now. He had heard how seriously Halfgaze took her job as deputy, but he kind of wished that she would relax slightly. Then again, maybe that was the way all deputies were, and he had just been some kind of weird deputy with anxiety problems. He was different now, looking over at the deputy. "I'd like to talk to you about the upcoming battle, and whose side we should take," he said, his tone serious. After all, this wasn't exactly something for them to talk lightly. Sure, he wanted to relax, but he couldn't right now. "I was thinking we should side with Windclan, since Thunderclan trespassed on our territory," he said, waiting to see what Halfgaze would say.
