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.

Jayne is not in the general area of the sink, and so he doesn't look up, concentrating instead on his current task (paring his nails with his knife, and letting the parings drop onto the kitchen table.)

You pay attention to Stabby every time she says something random and out of the blue-like, you could end up wasting your whole day.

"- hey!"

The note bounces off Jayne's head and onto the table. Jayne, meanwhile, glares at River.

It is only now that Jayne notices the outside of the note says 'Jayne'.

He promptly snatches it up, and then gives River another suspicious look.

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

Muttering something under his breath about when the hell a perfectly good berth turned into a gorram loony bin, anyways, Jayne opens up the note and scans it.


"Lilly give this to you?" he says, looking up.

Patiently enough, for Jayne: "Yes or no question, girl."

Yeah, this is why talking to River is never a picnic.


Jayne's brows knit.

"There a reason you was pickin' up my mail?"

"You read it?"

Mail can't volunteer. It's a piece of paper. Obviously, however, it is no use pointing this out to River.

"The inside."

Dumb-ass: implied.

Jayne grunts in acknowledgment of this, and folds the paper back up, stuffing it securely in a pocket.

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?"

Jayne flicks a fingernail paring back at her.

Tip goes from the served to the server, after all.
