Church was taken aback when River wouldn't come forward towards him, and he just stared at her a long moment as she remained where she was at York's side. Well. He hadn't expected her not even to come forward -- that had been rude. His eyes remained on hers a long moment before he looked to Tex, being taken out of her cell. "Why's she get out first? I'm much more attractive. I should be the one let out first." He pulled his arms back from the bars, looking at the officer as he began moving towards his own cell door.
And then York went and opened his big mouth. Church snapped blue eyes to the slightly insane Freelancer standing next to River and they narrowed on him, but he didn't say a word. Because a moment later, he was looking to Tex and he sucked in a quick breath. Oh, fuck.
The would-be sniper thought quickly on his feet and stepped to the door of his cell, reaching through the bars with both hands to grab the man's shoulders and jerk him into the steel bars. One hand moved to the back of his head to slam it forward again, and the man slumped slowly to the floor, unconscious. Church jerked the key out of the slot then, the door still locked, and he stepped back as far as he could away from the bars.
"Think about how pretty I am before you do anything now, Tex."
