Rumpus was a curious buck, even to his own detriment. He was somehow always getting into trouble, tripping over his own paws, falling into abandoned burrows, or generally just causing accidental mayhem. With some amount of self-awareness, Rumpus understood why most rabbits didn't stay friends with him for very long... but it did leave him feeling rather lonely sometimes. So when he spotted a group of buns going on an adventure, he wanted nothing more than to join. Alas, he kept his distance so that he couldn't cause his usual amount of trouble before the adventure even got underway.
Lucky for him, he was downwind of the small group. They seemed to be looking for someone, a brother? Rumpus thought sadly of his own family... they hadn't wanted to talk to him since the... accident. How badly he wanted to make it up to them. Distracted with these thoughts, he didn't notice the muddy puddle in front of him until his paws disappeared out from under him. There was a rather audible splash and he disappeared into the boggy water. Spluttering he dragged himself back out and stood there shivering, covered in muck and algae, and muttered to himself, "Oh Rumpus... you've done it again..." He looked sheepishly over at the small group, certain now that they had heard his splash and wondering how they would react to his presence. Oh how he hoped he hadn't already ruined his chances of making some new friends.
