A recent rain had drained away most of the ash that had once plagued him, though bits of it still remained in nooks and crannies where the rain hadn't been able to remove it. He didn't mind it though, something about it interested the boy in some small way. His paws drummed out a quick rhythm upon the earth as he fought hard to run as fast as he once was able to. He'd since grown into his lanky legs and large paws and thus was not worried about tripping, rather he was worried his lungs would give him a fit as they had the last time he'd tried this.

He was right to worry.

A warm sensation filled his lungs, quickly replaced by a sharp - intense burning. He sputtered and coughed, his paws failing beneath him. At first he would drop to his knees, skidding an inch or two before shifting his weight a bit to the right and taking a hard falling blow to his shoulder. He yelped, breathless as he continued to cough and sputter to little avail. Limbs instinctively seized close to his chest, protecting his underside while at the same time making himself as small as possible. His entire body shook for a moment until he finally was able to draw in a breath, and then another. The color returned to his gums as he lay there panting - regaining his life. His limbs relaxed until he was laying placidly on his side, appearing almost peaceful to anyone who might have missed his little 'episode'.
