Would you like an apple pie with that? [AW]

Steeling himself, Valentine splashed into the river. He'd spotted a wounded elk as it made its way through The Orchard. Of course he'd followed it. He had tirelessly pursued it, weakening it further whenever the opportunity presented itself. Patiently he waited, watching it tire slowly, until finally, its wounds weeping heavily, it dove into the river in a last ditch effort to escape its pursuer. It didn't make it far before it floundered. From the bank he'd watched it struggle as he debated the merits of diving in after it and possibly getting his head split open by a flailing leg. In the end he had decided to wait until it was half drowned before chancing it.

Cautiously wading towards the elk, the brute eyed it as he tried to decide if it was sufficiently drowned. It lay partially on its side with its head floating on the water. Each wave that rolled towards the shore washed over its head and because of this, its breath came in bubbling fits. Undoubtedly it was aware of the wolf stalking it, but there was little it could do besides weakly thrash and it saved those brief bursts of energy for the King's more threatening movements.

Its head dipped under the water once more and Valentine seized the opportunity to close the distance between them. He dove for the throat and once he'd gripped it, he held on for dear life as the elk renewed its thrashing. It drug him through the water and it took all of his strength to remain upright. Long seconds passed before the thrashing ceased and Valen felt comfortable with releasing his grip.

Winded, Valentine straightened and glanced around him as he tried to catch his breath.
