On the last rock, Alois hopped forward over the water separating him from the river's opposite bank. Once on solid ground, he turned and held his arms out, a teasing smile on his face. "Made it." Despite the show of goofy victory, he kept a tight grip on his bound bow's handle, not wanting to accidentally dissipate the spell before he could actually hunt something with it. Of course, he could re-summon it, but with his slowed natural magicka regeneration, that would be problematic. So, for now, he simply held on and hoped to the divines he didn't drop it.<br/><br/>At the growl, he got much more serious. Even the most mundane of creatures in Skyrim's harsh wilds could kill a man, but thankfully, the growls sounded relatively far off. He still raised his guard and kept it up, however, pulling one of the bound arrows in his quiver to nock it. His fingers deftly slid the projectile into place, the small depression on the bottom of the shaft lining up right with the bow's string. He walked alongside Sarrina carefully, eyes darting over the horizon to search for movements. He didn't have a muffling spell active, so he was very deliberate with where he walked.<br/><br/>The sight of an elk, and Sarrina's instruction, brought forth a nod. "Alright," He answered in a low, near-whispered tone. He lowered himself, reducing his visibility, and held the bow horizontally to make up for lost height. A notch in the bow's body was used as a makeshift sight, which he lined up with the elk's chest. A head was hard to pierce, and he wasn't sure he'd have the strength to shoot through bone, but an arrow to the heart or lung was ever-effective on large game. Slowly, Alois inhaled, pulling back on the string of the bow, preparing the arrow for its flight. After a few moment's pause, he let go of the string, exhaling as he did so. The arrow tore through the air, a muffled whistle following it, and struck the elk's side. The shot was lucky; the arrowhead slid between two ribs and pierced the heart. When the shot connected, Alois lowered the bow and rested his free hand on a knee, turning towards Sarrina. "How was that?"
