“They are really, really dangerous. I don't know anyone who has a story about one kicking a car... but it's them charging cars you should worry about, because that's what you hear about happening, and there's enough crushing power there.” Sam shook her head slowly. Her gaze wandered across the windows, but her mind was elsewhere; she thought carefully, sifting through every incident, every anecdote she could recall. “The brother of a girl I went to school with, he had a moose butt his car while he was driving down the highway, and it dented the door in so far that both the auto shop guys and the ER staff who saw him thought he'd been in a car accident until he explained. That said, if you had a moose climbing on a car, those hooves would definitely do damage.”
She stopped, looking up at the ceiling as she tried to think of a suitably visual comparison. “It would be like a half-ton truck walking around with medium frying pans for feet. Not a lot of surface for the weight that's on it, and bucks can weigh three quarters of a ton. They don't get that big often, but a big buck can trash just about anything out. A moose hits your car, the moose walks away. Your car hits the moose, the moose still walks away.”
'Bad veins' got a bit of a face from the skin-witch, and a bit of a shrug, since that seemed like something there was little help for.... save a growth spurt. How big could blood vessels be, in such a twiggy little thing? Still, a little life returned to Will's tone with his question, and Sam was as happy to hear it as she was to answer, offer a little education/entertainment. “Yeah. Bit more or a bit less depending on where. Wanna guess what makes the difference?”
