Open to Join Together as One [20LN24]

I’d rather bear the weight of others than let others carry pain alone.

Basilflame's eyes flicked open and she sat, her gaze settling over the subtle sounds of camp activities, elders chatting, kits snoring and playing, warriors sharing tongues, no other background noise like it in her opinion. She glanced up at the rim of the camp, a the cold hardly carried into her dense pelt, much like her dame's thick fur. 

Though the wind did tug gently at her fur, filling her with the familiar scent of home. She was fully immersed in her thoughts when she noticed a quiet figure nearby. Recognizing her clanmate, Bayflower, she blinked in mild surprise but offered a nod regardless, her hazel eyes flicking with a glint of recognition and curiosity.

"Bayflower, isn't it?" she said with a light tilt of her head. Of course she had seen Bayflower before, and had heard about them when taking visits to her mother, but they hadn't really spoken outside of patrols, and rarely even then. "I saw you in the nursery." she commented lightly, wrapping her thick tail around herself neatly, well, as neat as a long pelt could get.

"Guess our paths don't cross often, do they?" Her voice was steady, yet smooth, carrying a hint of warmth that was passed down from her dame, though, her expression remained as composed as ever, another thing that screamed that she was Sunbear's daughter. She flicked her tail, an invitation to join her if they wished.

Basilflame began to clean her paws quietly for a moment... well it wasn't completely quiet, the subtle purr from her throat always seemed to linger, even when relaxing by herself, or even with a near stranger. "Got a bit of free time away from the kits huh? Can't be easy to find moments to yourself" she added, her tone both sympathetic and respectful.

The flame lynx point she-cat knew how Beewhisker was, they would take any opportunity to talk about their friends and how great they were, even as an apprentice they were one to boast on their achievements, but Basilflame always found it kind of charming than anything else. It wasn't often she got the chance to speak to others, especially those she didn't know well, but she didn't mind. Bayflower seemed easy enough to talk to, and if nothing else, Basilflame wouldn't turn away a fellow clanmate looking for some quiet company.
