The other warrior had a grin on his face, and he seemed amused... Wait... Was he laughing at him?

His pelt burning with embarrassment, Bumbleflight immediately rolled into a sitting position, looking like a kit who was caught trying to sneak out of camp. The thing on his back was uncomfortable when he sat, but his embarrassment felt worse. He couldn't even meet Thrushfur's gaze, instead moving to groom his chest.

"Oh, uh, hey, Thrushfur. I was, uh... Struggling?" The dark brown tabby answered, cringing at his stutter. Ugh, why did Thrushfur have to witness that? Wait... Maybe... Realizing the tom could help, Bumbleflight turned so his back would face the other warrior, turning his head back to look at Thrushfur meekly. "Uh... Well, I noticed I haven't exactly been the cleanest and decided to fix that, but there's something on my back that I can't reach. Please help me," he said, finishing his sentence with a serious tone and expression, trying his best to snuff out his embarrassment.

Thrushfur listened on with a few nods. His expression relaxed, Oh dear Bumbleflight.. everyone has those days.. He chuckled. Then something in this situation caught his interest. His expression slumped into something anxious and wary. Has Bumbleflight been slouching about and not worrying about his health these past few days? Has possibly.. depression gotten to him after Brightpaths death!? His ears quirked, slanting like a birds wings. "Have you been eating well? Are you doing alright? H-Has her uh.. p-passing been a little rough for you?!" His teeth chattered against each other. Worry was visible in his blue eyes looking towards the dark brown tabby. If the young warrior truly was having mental problems then he would have to be there in a jiffy to save his friend!

At the mention of a burr caught on his back, he caught sight of it. Jeez he’s been worrying too much now.. He felt foolish for absolutely going off towards Bumbleflight about if he was truly having those sort of problems. He drooped his head in shame. His eyes focused on the burr that was quite attached to the tom. He plucked it out with ease, throwing it towards Bumbleflights little pile. He relaxed a bit from that moment, asking in a friendly manner. "Anymore that I could help with?"
