Ripfur feels like Colan didn't show him the proper respect when Torrin was looking over the divers. Ripfur reeeaaaly doesn't like Colan in the first place, and the only reason he didn't beat him to death when Torrin left was because Colan was the most productive of the divers. But now that Colan isn't contributing to the quota he can fulfill his seasons-long dream of killing Colan. The best explanation for Ripfur behavior is that he has a irrational hatred for Colan.
