"The Elk is grateful for your help and try's his best to do most of the work but fails in his wounded state. You get him out of the river but he is obviously too weak to do much on his own. He thanks you for your help but insists he wishes not to be a burden."

A) TAKE HIM IN As oNE of your own!
B) OK BAI, NO NEED TO CALL OR TALK TO US AGAIN! THANKS FOR BLEEDING ON US!

The young elk bull finally got to his feet with a shiver, slowly stepping up out of the stream. He bashfully smiled at Rickon and LaBarbara as they let him lean his body against each of them. "I can't thank you enough for the assistance..." He spoke softly, turning to look at the stallion, then the mare. Rickon dipped his head, "No problem."

"How did you end up in your condition..? And in the river?" Asked LaBarbara with a worrisome look upon her face. The elk saddened and shook his head; "I was just grazing when a pack of wolves came at me. They did this to me...and when they brought me to the river, I jumped in and got swept away. The wolves thankfully didn't follow me downstream, though, they're probably searching for me." The dark brown mare looked up at the stallion, lowering her ears. "Ehm, Rickon? May I speak to you in private? Over by the bushes?" Rickon raised a brow at this and followed his mate out of earshot from the elk. They turned to face away from their hooved friend and lowered their heads to whisper to one another. "Rickon...we can't just leave him to his own devices. He's still somewhat bleeding, and if those wolves did follow him downstream, they're more than likely to smell the blood when they get close enough. He's too weak to defend himself...plus, he's missing an antler!"

"I know...but what will the others think when we return with him?" Rickon's eyes softened and glanced behind him at the elk, who was in the process of scratching his cheek with his rear hoof. "It shouldn't matter what the others think. You're the leader, and if you want him to join us, then that's how it's going to be. If they have a problem with it, they'll have to go through me." LaBarbara grinned. Rickon chuckled and shook his head in amusement, "I can always count on you to back me up." The horses finally turned back around and approached their new friend once more. The stallion cleared his throat, "Um...how would you like to tag along with us?" The elk's eyes bulged out in surprise. "R-really? I don't want to be a burden because of my injures..."

"Nonsense, any predator will be able to smell your blood and eventually find you without trouble. If you come with us, we can protect you." The elk pondered the stallion's offer for a moment, a smile slowly forming and his ears perking up. He nodded and confidently stepped closer to the equine's, "Alright. I'd be honored to join your band."
