Beng back at camp comes as a relief - though Duckweedsplash tries not to show it, he'd been left utterly on edge by the suddene flooding - shifting endlessly in makeshift nest while they'd stayed at the beech copse. It's not exactly the first time riverclan has made such a move, and yet Duckweedsplash doesn't think it will ever be something he can get used to. At least the move had come with one upside - even if the child was annoying, there was no hiding the way Newtkits praise of his heroic rescue had lifted the black-furred toms spirit and pride.

Theres a pep in his step as he works to fix the holes in the warriors den, paws weaving reeds without caring much that he's been tasked with such menial work. He's a hero - and Reedfang isn't here to ruin it with his harsh words either. " It's good to be back here, isn't it? I'm glad the damage wasn't too bad " he says cheerily - hoping to make conversation with his work partner, dull green eyes turning to look at the younger warrior with a flash of pale teeth. They'd gotten lucky.

Putting his paws to good use is a relief from the guilt involved in being deadweight just a few sunrises before. Needing to be rescued by an apprentice of all things... and not any apprentice but Hazecloud's only little witchling.... He couldn't deny that Eveningpaw's help was much needed and that maybe he could spare a nice thought for her now every once in awhile but... hopefully this did not encourage her to indenture him for the whole 'saving his life' thing. He stifles a yawn, trying to remember the last time anyone had gotten a proper night's rest...

Seems like maybe it hasn't been quite so long ago for Duckweedsplash, who hums with elation and relief. He chatters about his feelings of contentment, yammering about the state of the camp being pretty alright. Heather and emerald eyes glance around to survey what damage yet remained to be repaired before offering a resolute nod of agreement, "For how much water there was... this is surprisingly not too bad... at least.. as far as the dens go." The party of their dead had still been far too many for his liking...

"I should... really learn to swim...." he mumbles to himself more than anything.

HEad nods along to valesights words - a small wince crossing his features, if only for a breif moment. Teeth gnaw against his cheek, debating is he should speak up. " I think... that would be a good idea, " voice tries (and fails) to be cheerful, insecurity and grief coloring his words for a heartbeat. He too, thinks of those they've lost - both litterally and figuratively, some cats confirmed dea while others had vanished entirely. He can only hope they have survived, and will find their way home with starclans light.

'The world isn't fair though, is it' - his mind unhelpfully supplies, and he sinks fangs further until he tastes blood. " The river is definitely scary, true, but it's better I think to at least prepare! Even if its not your favorite thing ever, better late then never! " he'd know better then most after all - the scars painted around his throat a permanent reminder of dangers that could lie unseen beneath hte currents.

Theres another moment of silence - companionable, maybe, or perhaps awkar. For duckweedsplash, it's unsettling, and even as paws work to carefully patch up the den he wracks his mind for something else to say. Something more. " I um- I could help you? If you want! It's better to learn things with help, isn't it? "
