The thing is, when the playing field is closer to even, this is how Crabb is: bold, and scrappy, and the kind of person who if she's going down, it won't be without a fight (and that, at least, is still true on the ship). In the second that it takes for anyone to actually respond to Valdis's arrival, Crabb gets one goon in the eye with her hat, lands an impressive right hook on the other, and has dodged Cork only to end up caught by the first goon as she stumbles back before the distraction kicks in and everything stutters to a stop.
Heads turn, Crabb's included even as struggles to shake the guy. Caroline Divvy, the ginger woman, is hanging back enough that she doesn't even have to step away from the fight, turning to give the new arrival a visual appraisal, brows raising.
"Oooh look at this one, pretty face and full of big talk. Look, lady, this ain't a matter that concerns you, so how's about you just step away and leave us to it, yeah? And we won't have to carve up that pretty face of yours too."
