Cover for: running with the wolves by QueenBelladonna

If there was one thing Ash could say he enjoyed about Menagerie, it was the hot springs. Which, of course, was why he was here. As such, he disrobed, stuck a toe in to see if it might be too hot. Deciding that it was satisfactory, he slowly stepped in, then reclined his head, sighing in relief. He realized that he tended to not notice how exhausted he was until he actually sought relaxation, and clearly this was no exception. He could feel the tension leave his body with every second. It was so relaxing, he barely even noticed the naked Chieftain’s wife in the same spring, just a few feet from him. Wait, what? Ash did a double take upon seeing Kali. For a few seconds, he just sat there, not knowing what to do. If he looked away, he risked offending her. If he looked at her, he risked being slapped and accused of being a pervert. In either scenario, he was dead anyway, since the Chieftan would most definitely have him stuffed and mounted before sundown. At least, that’s what he thought, even though it wasn’t the truth.

And... that’s all she wrote, just keeping on walking. She was off duty for a day, so she had already decided to make it a calming one.
