Beechroot patterns

((sorry this might be shorter than what i usually make it))

Loki padded along the Treeclan border. Why he kept doing this, he never knew. Maybe he liked the shade that the trees provided. But a long time ago, he vowed he would never get this close to any clan again, and here he was.

His nose picked up the scent of an oncoming cat, but he couldn't see if there was a patrol as well. It only smelled like one, so he stood his ground and watched as the cat came nearer.

(no it's fine! no worries!)

Beechroot emerged from the underbrush. He spotted the other tom, looked over his shoulder to make sure no other clan-mates were near, then approached Loki. He dipped his head in greetings. "It's not safe for you to be here." He mewed, his eyes filling with sorrow. "Treeclan is very anti-outsider at the moment. I'd be careful if I were you, some cats like Yellowburr will attack on the spot."

Loki blinked. Maybe he thought that Loki was there to join, but he ended up smiling. "It's fine," he said, noticing that he was being extremely friendly.

"I don't think she could do much damage anyway."

[Beechroot]

Beechroot wanted to tell Loki he was mistaken, but he chose not to bother him further about the topic. The warrior looked around again, afraid a clan-mate would call him out for not chasing away a loner. "So..uh..why are you in our territory? I'm supposed to chase you away if you're hunting." Beechroot opened his mouth slightly to scent the air. He didn't smell any blood or prey. That was a good sign.

Loki sighed. "I'm not sure why I'm here, but it's certainly not for prey. I think that meeting clan cats just makes me feel like I'm back home again."

He wondered how much he should tell this cat.

[Beechroot]

Beechroot was confused. So what did Loki want? He always assumed loners and rogues entered their territory either to steal or the join the clan. When he mentioned he used to be a clan cat, the warrior grew a little nervous. Why had Loki left his clan? Or was he kicked out? "What clan?" Beechroot asked curiously, knowing that Loki had never been Treeclan. They were around the same age. Beechroot would have remembered him.

Loki looked straight at the warrior, and responded cooly. "It was called Sunclan, but I don't think you've ever heard of it."

That was just a nickname that most cats gave it. He would be surprised if the warrior knew where it was, or what it was.
