[After this.]

River's looking thoughtful. Intently so.

Mal's not on the bridge. Not in the kitchen, either. She keeps looking.

Comments

Mal follows River's gaze down to the floor and the crates and the absolutely nothing remotely entertaining.

"Traditions is nice, sometimes."

River shrugs.

It's a while later -- after a discussion of traditions, France, and architecture in which River spends a lot of time staring at the floor and Mal spends a lot of time looking as if he's not entirely sure what they're talking about -- that she rises and drifts away again.

But she's looking a little more relaxed, now.

Not entirely, but a little.
