you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you
& the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land
& the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land
She's a very food-motivated woman, you've found, and it's certainly something you can appreciate. You're too focused on the way her hips curve as she finds her balance to notice your approaching interloper - until the Hel is nearly in your hand, it's greedy little claws reaching out to pluck the meat stick from you. Rude.
Fortunately, your lady love is there to save you. Unfortunately you've already been thrown off balance by the onslaught of birds, and the gust of wind she throws your way is incredibly effective. The Hel goes (involuntarily) flying and you go falling right onto your ass, shallow water very quickly soaking into your pants.
Tailbone and ego bruised you blink somewhat dazedly at where the bird is rising off the sand, its feathers thoroughly ruffled. "Huh," you murmur, the jerky still carefully clutched on your hand. "Note t'self: don' get between a woman an' her meat."
