That will become an issue, and maybe the only reason people like River is because she never says how she feels. But I can imagine Arkanov being distant from the others, since they wouldn't really like him for being a jerk instead of River who is total bait for an abusive relationship.

Motives are really what makes a great villain, so that's all you need to fix, right?
