Over the last few weeks Geoffrey had observed a change in the grown ups. Some of them now seemed preoccupied and when pressed, alluded to the coming winter. This concerned Geoffrey a little and he'd spent the last couple days mulling over what, if anything, he needed to do.

Having never experienced winter before, Geoffrey wasn't sure what all needed to be done to prepare for it. He understood that it would get really cold and that things would be different than the other seasons he'd experienced, but the full meaning of that was lost on him.

Still, he knew that if the adults were preparing, he probably needed to prepare too. It just made sense to. But how? He tried to think of all the things he thought were important. Food was at the top, being warm was important too. Were plants important? ...Sometimes? He frowned thoughtfully. What else was important? Water...but that wasn't going to be scarce, was it? It would probably help if he knew what to expect of winter.

Geoffrey let his head sink to his chest as he thought. His gaze was pointed at the dirt between his forepaws but he wasn't really seeing it. His frown deepened as his thoughts grew heavier, his expression now a concentrated scowl at he tried to think of important preparations.
