There was a moment of tension. River recognized the hand gesture of her partner and her eyes darted about the tent. No one to offer a distraction but her and she laughed meaning to interject and break the tension completely. Sure the guy was far too handsy but that was no reason to punish the townie provided he was willing to part with his money still. The words that were supposed to come after the dismissive laugh died in her throat as the man attacked.
River swatted his hand out of her face. “I am not,” Roughly she shoved him back towards the entrance of the tent. “You need to leave right now. Consider yourself thrown out.” Again she shoved him hard towards the entrance of the team trying to push him out before her partner could react to the attack. Her voice was also loud, hopefully, one of the rousties would hear the scuffle and come and collect this townie before he got himself into any more trouble than he was already in. “Do not come back here do you understand? And this pushy act you have going, not the way to win the ladies.”
