Stavanger Bay change the narrative.

in some other timeline, there's a smart rannveig, and that smart rannveig probably stopped and generously heard firefly out. he might even have nodded understandably, tipped the felt of his hat, and conceded that firefly was the rightful boss. this smart, aristocratic rannveig probably had his life together.

but present rannveig did not have his life together, was not smart nor aristocratic, and did not honor the words of a scoundrel who (in his eyes) wrongfully usurped his brother. this rannveig did not stop -- especially since velen was streaking in with all the wrath of a juggernaut. rannveig did not stop, did not collect $200, and did not listen -- instead he screamed a battlecry and flung himself at firefly, going for anything so long as it was something that hurt.
