Back in shallow waters and on all fours, Kero waited for his head to clear. It took only seconds, but seemed like a century as his vision sorted itself. Ready for action once more, Kero surveyed the scene. The deer was in the water now, swimming. Good. That meant its hooves were occupied.

Tonravik went for its nose and used that to steer the deer within the water. Kero paddled out after them, splashing through the water as he propelled himself forward and exerted himself to meet them. With the deer's head in a vice and therefore distracted, Kero climbed upon its back and sunk his teeth alone its neck. It'd have to paddle harder to keep them both afloat and if Ton could hold its nose beneath the water, they could drown it quickly.
