Whether it was the fighters in the ring or one of the gamblers who lost their temper afterwards though was a coin flip. Speaking of coins this would be a perfect place to replenish the four gold coins she had lost earlier in the evening performing her trick, though she had to admit it was a small price to pay for adoration. Plus she had already received a handsome reward for her performance and if she tried it and got caught it wouldn't just be bad for her, it'd mean that she'd likely smear Wallen's reputation since she was his guest here.<br/>In all likelihood though she had already done that from being severely underdressed for the occasion, having grabbed whatever nice-looking clothing she could from the props section due to having no fancy party dresses of her own.<br/><br/>Speaking of their employers, the boxer was quite taken aback by how brazen this blonde diva was being. And was quite frankly affronted that she wasn't the first one at any given shindig to attempt to assert dominance through no-nonsense ruffianism. If a failed slap could be considered that, of course.<br/><strong>"Do you need any help Ms Baird?"</strong>she asked Valena before leaning in to whisper<sub><strong>"Nice catch by the way"</strong></sub>
