I am going to get you

Skælingr slept fitfully. When morning arrived and the sunlight streamed across his face he wanted to dig a hole, hide in it and go back to sleep. However, Ragna wasn't having it. She got him up and soon the pair went in search of breakfast. When they found the deer kill Skæ looked to his wife with a grin. Free meal! As his wife snuck forward for a leg he moved for the neck. The cougar snarled and attacked his wife. Ragna retreated but Skælingr moved in for the attack. With a snarl he lunged for the cougar, seizing hold of its long tail but only for a moment for the cat whirled around and slashed at him with its claws. The claws nicked his hip, drawing blood and he shuffled back to reassess the situation.
