While leaf-bare was her favorite time of year - she would never admit it, but watching the first snow fall made her feel like a little kit all over again - it wasn't the greatest for fishing, which was RiverClan's main source of prey.

"Either of you know the basic crouch yet? Or what to focus on when stalkin' prey?" Turning around once they had reached a good spot, Stormstar glanced at both apprentices, mostly wondering if Talonpaw had picked up anything.

Talonpaw slips out of the den after Stormstar, listening as she explains they will be learning land hunting. He steadfastly ignores her mention of leaf-bare, unknowingly having quite the opposite feelings as the leader does for the season. His most prominent memories are of the snow surrounding him as he grows colder and colder before he dies—No, I cannot think about that.

He shakes himself out of his memories in time to hear Stormstar's question, fluffing up his pelt against the chill permeating the air. Talonpaw hopes he's not about to make a fool out of himself with his answer considering he taught himself when he was missing.

"Not the basic crouch, but the most important thing I learned was to stay down-wind of the prey. Otherwise it'll know you're coming long before you get close."
