Default Washing out blood

Had a big male marten that was caught in an inverted box, by a 120sx. Excellent single bar right behind the skull instant kill.
A decent amount of blood had stained the pelt. I washed it in cold water after skinning it. Snapped it and whirled it around a bit then boarded skin out as per normal.
I will flesh here shortly. When I turn it fur out tomorrow morning what should I expect? Just let it air dry and brush again? Or a little fluffing with a hairdryer and brush to fill the fur out again? Temperature in garage fluctuates from 12c to 5c according to thermometer.
Only used cold water no soap.
