[River and Prior Fell on Serenity]

[river_meimei]

River's standing on one of the high catwalks, hands curled loosely around the railing. She leans back as if against a summer breeze, dreamily watching the air of the cargo bay.

When a blond figure emerges from a corridor far below, River's eyes slide slowly down to focus on him.

After a moment, she smiles, just a little.

"I - er."

A faintly horrified look that he quickly attempts to hide.

"I suspect leaving Jayne on Crowley's side would do far more good to my own."

River was giggling. Now she's cracking up.

She saw the horrified look, yes.

"I know, I know."

Faintly hopeless.

"I'm supposed to save everyone. And really, I'm quite willing to do my best to convert him, provided I can fob him off elsewhere when it comes to confession."

Ew, says River's face.

She likes Jayne a lot better these days. But no one likes the idea of hearing what he's thinking.

"He can talk to Vera. Special dispensation."

"...Gosh. You are a genius. Although I imagine there'd have to be some sort of ceremony - I'm not sure I'm altogether fond of the idea of ordaining a piece of weaponry."

River looks proud.

"Maybe it's parrots. Psittacida Amazona indulgens."

"Yes, dear."

Aziraphael's laughing now, his wings furling in close to his back and disappearing.

River, who was making a serious (if incomprehensible) suggestion, is a little confused by his laughter.

But she giggles too, because it's contagious.
