To say David had been worried about his missing 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤 would be an understatement . Shortly after getting Space Kid set up to receive his rabies shot, the counselor had left Gwen to deal with it on her own; Deciding that someone needed to CHECK on the condition of the other 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤 . Perhaps he shouldn’t have been so surprised to find several of the children - revealed to less surprisingly be Neil, Nikki and Max … The little TROUBLEMAKERS - had snuck off who knows where while he’d been otherwise preoccupied, but he couldn’t really HELP himself . He tried to focus on getting the remaining 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤 back to their tents for the night, however fruitless such an endeavor was with his WORRY fresh in his thoughts .

So, when he saw Quartermaster riding half naked across the lake with four small figures huddled in his little boat, David was so THRILLED that he didn’t even question the presence of an extra kid . He quickly made his way down to MEET them at the lake’s edge, determined to make sure all his favorite little 𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤 were SAFE and SOUND . After checking Max, Nikki and Neil over for any scrapes and bruises, David’s eyes fell only briefly on the fourth kid before turning to the Quartermaster with some level of relieved amusement .
❝ Oh, QM! You pick up anEXTRA kid from one of the other𝕔𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕤, as well, huh? We’re gonna have totake this little guy BACK to his own counselors; I’m sure they’re worried SICK ! It’s crazy… The little guy almost reminds me of- ❞ And then, David froze, the realization hitting him like a ton of BRICKS . His head swiveled back to the fourth kid, really looking at him for the first time . His eyes grew wide and ALARMED . ❝ J-j-jasper ? ❞
