The air like a cool mouthful of water… The wind that whispers through golden-red leaves… Bare branches clacking in the breeze… The smell of faint rot… There's no doubt about it: leaf-fall is there. And the others can say what they will about the cold season and hunger: Dunny can't help but love this time of the year. Perhaps it is because he was born in this season, but he finds it beautiful.
That's not to say it's easy: hey, give it half a chance and it will eat you whole, just like it's meaner sibling leafbare. Bears and badgers and foxes, everyone's in a tizzy with the cold snapping at their heels, and the prey knows to make itself scarce. Plus the rain is a real nightmare. Still! The sunlight is so beautiful, and the air is so crisp! And as he's padding through the muddy undergrowth, he's glad that he gets to share this time with his little brother.

"You'll see,"
he tells the younger cat, tilting his head to throw him a smile. "There's nothing like the taste of a mouse fat on leaf-fall seeds."
