"T-Thank you for bringing me t-th-the bird but uh, I don't know. I should be helping the clan, not hiding away..." He breathed the heavy words out as he started to pluck the bird, pushing some of the softer feathers into the elders den for his nest later.

Breezefeather nodded and let out a small breath. "Everyone needs to take their time to settle in. Your anxiety, I assume?" he didn't want to judge wrongly but for this... example... theory to work properly he would have to just carry on, "will probably cause you more troubles if you start up with your duties. Hunting is not without it risks, and as you probably already know, require focus. That's what you'll be lacking if you don't take this time off to just... calm down. Get a hold on your problems and try to turn it into a strength rather than a weakness." He hoped what he was saying made sense and nodded at the feathers, "if you want to try to at least be of some use, once you've finished plucking feathers for your own nest, I know there are probably some kits and queens who might appreciate them too. If you do want to that is."
