Firestone Hot Springs watch it run in slow motion

Hobad (haha...) isn't actually in the water. Just a minor detail I wanted to note. :)

The she-wolf responded in an even, unassuming way. Perhaps she thought she could kill Honey Badger with kindness or somehow win her over. The yearling grunted at this thought, then idly took a step sideways and dipped her right forepaw into one of the pools. She stirred the water, then out of a sudden and mean-spirited impulse, she flung some of the hot water in the other female's direction to show her what she thought of this conversation.

"Sulfur," Honey Badger replied unthinkingly, which explained both the smell and the heat. She sneered, then placed both front feet into the pool and dipped her head down to drink from it, feeling like a total badass. It tasted just like it smelled: like rotten boiled eggs. Nonetheless, the yearling licked her lips as if sulfurous water was the breakfast of champions.

She then backed up to remove her paws from the spring. Despite the wintry season, algae still managed to grow on the smooth stones around the pool's edge. Unaware of this, Honey Badger stepped on the slick surface. It was like stepping onto ice. Before she knew what was happening, her right foreleg went out from under her. She lurched forward, tried to find her balance but ended up over-correcting. She went down and the left side of her head smashed into the algae-covered rocks, cutting her good cheek open and causing her vision to dim.
