When River steps into Serenity's kitchen from Milliways, she's carrying a small bag of tangerines, and a note.
"It's a mail drop," she announces, to the general area of the sink.

Date: 2008-02-27 07:11 am (UTC)River deposits the tangerines in a bowl, very carefully, without bothering to remove them from the bag. She does pull one out, though, and favors it with a careful study as she meanders towards Jayne.
The folded note gets dropped on his head.

"Am I gonna find some kinda crazy talk in here?"

With the kind of audible patience that marks the beginnings of frustration, "Bar."
River thinks she was being perfectly clear.

Date: 2008-02-27 07:56 am (UTC)Jayne's brows knit.
"There a reason you was pickin' up my mail?"
no subject
Date: 2008-02-27 07:58 am (UTC)"It volunteers."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-27 08:03 am (UTC)Mail can't volunteer. It's a piece of paper. Obviously, however, it is no use pointing this out to River.

Date: 2008-02-27 08:04 am (UTC)"Got your name."

Date: 2008-02-27 08:08 am (UTC)Dumb-ass: implied.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-27 08:10 am (UTC)But she's used to Jayne's sad inability to understand perfectly straightforward explanations, by now.
"Yours."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-27 08:28 am (UTC)Sure as ruttin' hell it's his.
(And even he's not sure what Lilly's going on about, with the money skirt. Some parts of a dream you forget faster than others.)
This is where a normal person would say thank you.
Jayne says: "You waitin' for a tip?"

Date: 2008-02-27 08:46 am (UTC)"I'll eat your share," she warns him, and turns away.
See if she brings back enough tangerines for everybody next time, Jayne.
