Tonravik paused only for a moment. When she was sure Iqniq was not truly wounded, she went for the animal again. It moved into deeper water and Tonravik did not move in until it began to swim. When it did so, she wasted no time. Her own strong limbs brought her to its side and she went for its muzzle. It turned its face away, and Tonravik continued to paddle, pushing her weight into it to steer it into a turn.
