He'd finally been able to appoint his deputy, and he had faith in his choice- Blackgaze, a warrior who was trusted and responsible. He didn't really mind that she was blind, and honestly cared more about what a job she could do- which was exactly what he based his choice off of. He was trying his hardest to be a dedicated leader, and that meant choosing a deputy that was the best possible choice for Riverclan. Striding towards the fresh-kill pile, he'd gone on a patrol with a close friend a few hours ago and had ended the trip on a rather empty stomach, though he figured that could be solved rather easily with a meal. Picking up a rather large trout from the fresh-kill pile as the tom's stomach rumbled in distress, he quickly padded over towards an area of rocks typically used to sun on by his clanmates, about to take a bite out of the fish before he noticed a familiar pelt to him, one that the new leader had just seen when he'd performed one of the most important ceremonies that a leader could. "Oh, hello, Blackgaze!" He exclaimed, waving his tail to the other cat with a burst of energy- he wanted to be able to talk to his close friend- and now, his deputy as well.

Blackgaze's ears swiveled towards the voice of her friend and leader before she turned her body to face him, her paws padding forwards towards Russetstar. "Hello, Russetstar." she said in her calm voice, returning the greeting he had given her. She sniffed at the air a bit to follow Russetstar's scent and sat down when his smell got a bit too strong, using this as a way to find a place near him. Her black tail curled around her paws as her milky green eyes stared off above Russetstar, looking blindly at the clearing wall. It was a bit unnerving to anyone who hadn't known a blind cat, but it was the best she could to to give someone her attention. She didn't want to look at the ground or try and guess where to face the cat she was speaking to. The new deputy gave a slight hum. "Did ya want to talk or something? Or were you just saying hello?" she asked calmly.
