He'd been freaking trampled. Caught off guard completely. His focus had been completely on the injured yearling deer. He hadn't expected a moose to come out of left field. The giant beast had scooped him up on its wide rack and sent him flying through the air. The big man had landed in a bush with a loud thump. In pure, adrenaline driven shock, he tucked tail and ran. There was no battling a moose on your own. They were vicious things.
It wasn't until later when he speed to rest that he realized he was injured. Of course he would be bruised and sore from his first flying experience. When he landed in the bush, one of the branches had snapped, the sharp point stabbing through the fold of skin just behind his front, left shoulder. There was both an entrance and an exit wound. Blood soaked the fur of his side and stomach. Asa frowned. Now that the adrenaline had faded, he was feeling the pain of the wound. Just great.
Padding along slowly, the silver and onyx man just happened to stumble upon a set of pools that were heated from underground lava tunes, no doubt. Dippng a toe into one, he tested the temperature before, satisfied with the warmth, he submerged his big body. The wound burned, but he imagined it might be a good thing. Cleaning the wound, maybe? The warmth would soothe his bruised for for sure. With a sigh, Asa rested his blocky skull on the edge of the pool. He would be slow for a few days because of today's events. Maybe it was time to join a pack. Or to at least find someone else to keep around. It was a lot to think about.
