I will wait for you to come for me, not for me to come to you [Open Patrol]

Cloverpaw caught up to the small group and walked quietly beside Tawnypaw. He didn't know any of these cats too personally except his mentor Toadclaw, who he still only barely knew. His quiet nature didn't make him many friends, but he told himself he would at least try on this patrol. "Is this your first patrol?" he asked Tawnypaw, turning his head to her as they walked. He watched her with his bold green eyes, also observing Toadclaw and Oakpaw over her shoulder.

Cloverpaw lowered his eyes at Seedpaw's comment about it being his first patrol. He was already quiet and shy but now he felt really inexperienced compared to the rest. He made a good scout in general because of his observant nature, but now he would get to use his skill at last. "I've never been" he mewed quietly to Toadclaw and the rest of the patrol. He thought it was kind of odd that Toadclaw was the only warrior on the patrol, and if they ran into trouble they might regret that, but he shrugged it off.
Everyone seemed to be tense and in competition with each other and Cloverpaw's docile self didn't understand why. He thought they should all be working as a team instead of trying to be better than the others, and they didn't seem like they were being very observant on this patrol so far. He flicked his ears forward and opened his mouth slightly, keeping his senses alert for any weird noises or scents.
