| Thistle's howl had been urgent and had pulled the Jarl from his hunt, the fawn clumsily running away as his head rose, ears cupping forth to take in the sound, pinpointing his wife's destination before rushing off, lunging forwards with a swiftness that did not necessarily match his strong body. His heart beat like a war drum within it's prison of flesh and bone as he closed the distance between his wife, the trespasser and himself, their individual scents mingling and becoming stronger the closer Ragnar came to approaching the scene. This was the fifth trespasser this month and idly Ragnar toyed with the consideration that they had no idea what they were messing with. Eventually, it would get to a point where the scarred Scandinavian would just start aiming to kill as he nearly did to the Bay's newest Captive. It would have been easy to kill him, Ragnar knew, the only thing that spared him was his cooperation and that he wasn't an Isle wolf. They would obey and learn or they would die. It was that simple.
He broke through the tree line, catching the movement of Thistle, smaller than the male that paraded within Ragnar's lands like he had any right to be there and in a moment he felt both a fierce swell of pride for his wife but also a horror that she was trying to take on the trespasser male having little fighting training aside from what Ragnar taught her. "You will speak to me when you get out of my lands," Ragnar warned having caught enough of the words that had passed between them before Thistle had lunged. "Or you will never speak again." Ragnar was tired of trespassers and more so tired of sparing them. They took up food and energy that he really didn't have to exert for them. Not when he could kill them and be done with it. Ragnar barreled towards the stranger, aware of Thistle's own position, intending to either get him to back out or to attack. |
