[Brink, as expected, was immediately an issue. Before Dodger even got the chance to answer or call off the dog, it was attacking Ivar, which didn't make a lot of sense to Ragnar, but maybe their long-standing feud made him the primary target. Regardless, Ivar did what Ragnar was threatening and prepared to do, which was cave the thing's head in.

He sighed in annoyance and Dodger's desperate and ultimately ineffective attempt to scramble away. Ragnar simply sunk down onto his knees, one knee firmly on Dodger's back with all his weight behind it, to pin Dodger down. Grabbing him by the back of the neck, he forced his head down as well and moved his axe free with an annoyed sigh.]

Stop. [He finally snarled, putting more force into keeping him pinned down.] Did you not just say you wanted punishment? You have forced my hand. Do you understand? I cannot do nothing after what you did. It would be best if you stopped struggling and accepted it.
