Firestone Hot Springs watch it run in slow motion

Following the encounter with Summer, Honey Badger altered her course. Instead of continuing northwest—which would have brought her to the plateau's doorstep—she crossed the river and found herself on the edge of a hot spring. She padded forward, the warm, damp air making her crusted fur feel suddenly heavy and uncomfortable. She spontaneously decided to wash off the dried blood and stepped into the nearest stinking puddle of water.

When she emerged, the badger's blood was gone but her own wounds remained. Begrudgingly, she acknowledged them only long enough to sit down and lick them clean—the ones she could reach, anyway. She promptly ignored them beyond that as she climbed back onto all fours and weaved deeper into the hot springs, stopping only when she spotted movement.
