Sunblaze was a little bit overeager with marking to say the least. As soon as Eagleflight gave the order, the ginger tom wasted no time darting about, rubbing every last inch of himself on whatever surface he could find; bushes, rocks, stumps, the grass.. He had gotten so carried away, that he’d even managed to snag himself of a particularly angry shrub without him noticing, which left a nasty cut in its place. He only stopped throwing himself onto random objects when the tangy stench of blood overpowered his own and something warm and wet trickled down his leg. He craned his neck over his shoulder and peered curiously at the sizeable cut that grazed his side. Oh. Oops. That wasn’t supposed to happen. Oh well, it didn’t hurt very much.. it couldn’t be that bad. He need not worry the others with his problems.
Sublaze quickly got to work lapping up the blood until it didn’t look like he’d been jumped by a badger and then resumed his work. It did begin to sting after a while but it still wasn’t anything he figured was worth fussing over. When he’d decided that he’d covered everything able to be covered in Sunblaze, the tom padded over to a nice, shady looking outcropping in a boulder and collapsed into the dry grass beneath it, sighing exhaustedly. The wound seemed to have sapped his energy. Or maybe it was the running.. Either way, he felt like he could sleep for days.
