You and Rider were never really good friends, you always fought, even if it was for the smallest of thing. But right now, that isn't what was happening. You were being harassed by some Inklings and Octolings, they wouldn't leave you alone or stop touching you, they were making you uncomfortable. Rider who was trying to go get some food had seen a bit of this and stepped in, protecting you

Hey! Leave them alone, they don't wanted to be touched by you freaks.

He snapped at the group that was harassing you, stepping in front of you to protect you
