[Were Rocket not fully drenched and at the limit of his patience he likely would have brushed off Daud's offer but as it is he takes the hand, dragging the last kid along with them. The boat can go join the sea as far as he's concerned. The kids, crying, snivelling, soggy messes though they might be, would live to maybe learn better than to follow strange raccoon people onto ships.
Rocket shoos all the kids off with a few more shouts and parentally judgmental comments before collapsing onto his ass on the bank, shaking out his upper torso and staring at his arms with a muttered grumble about idiot children]
I hope you're proud of yourself. [It might seem like he's talking to Daud at first but he's staring at the river and an otter's head pokes up above the surface, chittering back a response at him and going back in to hunt for fish.]
Useless water stoat. [Looking up at Daud he considers saying some kind of thanks and settles on,]

You have convenient timing.
