Stavanger Bay we are the warriors

Apologies for the wait! <3

Like Charon, Atreyu had been hanging around the Bay a little more lately too since his own scuffle with a stranger — all over a fish. The boy snorted as he recalled the fight with the strange man with a stub for a tail, why couldn't he have just caught his own damn fish? While Atreyu wasn't adverse to fighting, he wasn't exactly an adept warrior...yet. In his mind, he had landed near-crippling blows and could have killed the thief if he had wanted to, but didn't, because he was nice like that. In reality, the boy's combat style was just flailing around, snapping his jaws and throwing himself onto his opponent in hopes of eventually hitting something. It was painfully obvious he hadn't a clue on how to actually fight.

So the boy sought out Ragnar, contemplating on the best way to word his request without betraying his lack of any sort of training. No, he couldn't let the viking know he was incapable of properly defending himself. He just needed some tips. Yeah. With renewed vigour, the yearling headed towards the den with his tail thrust confidently over his back. However, he paused when a familiar scent hit his nose and he scrunched it in retaliation as he realised who it belonged to.

His frown deepened even further as he spied the freckled youth asleep in a patch of sunlight. He almost spun on his heel to retreat back to the shore, but something made him pause. It was a perfect opportunity. As if he hadn't tormented the poor boy enough, a flicker of mischief shot through Atreyu's eye and he canted his head with a smirk. With soft footsteps, he crept towards the dozing wolf, stopping every so often to avoid waking him. He was fully unaware of the recent trauma Charon had endured, and hadn't heard his mutterings. The boy was only focused on the outcome of his prank. Inching closer and closer, Atreyu finally came to a halt and suddenly let out a loud, savage snarl — that quickly dissipated into hiccuping laughter — in hopes of terrifying the young boy.
