The rafters have a few advantages.

They're comfortable, for one thing! (If you're River Tam.) And interesting. And sometimes you find candy. And they provide a fun change of perspective.

And sometimes they're a good way to find people.

Havelock's brief silence says, emphatically, INDEED.

Then again, he gets in his own fair share of trouble, so maybe he shouldn't judge.

"Thank you," he says after that appreciated moment of sympathy. "For taking a part in that."

Why not? Judging is much more fun!

River blinks at him. "Got no cause."

Well, he does, but -- "It's in the job."

"I'm on lookout."

Havelock shrugs the shrug of one who also takes his self-imposed duties seriously.

"You're efficient."

Perhaps some things might get lost in translation, but Havelock really likes crypic crossword puzzles; so talking with River is almost recreational, from a purely academic standpoint.

River's face brightens slightly, with the quiet pride, and faint smugness, of someone getting an unexpected compliment they know to be accurate.

"You too."

Well, he is. And it's always refreshing to talk to somebody who listens.
