...Mal?

[blink]

Oh. Well... how 'bout that?

[hisautumnflower]

[sup, next to you]

[beenwithamazon]

[putting an arm around you]

[takes a breath, lets it out]

Way I figure it, Jayne's been alone on Serenity long enough. Probably started figuring himself Captain right after I left.

[beenwithamazon]

Which is so not a good state of affairs. And Mal needs out.

[hisautumnflower]

[nods]

I noticed that about five seconds after gettin' here.

[beenwithamazon]

What tipped you off? Was it the general surly miserableness or the multiple deaths?

[hisautumnflower]

The fact that I was able to knock him on his backside without tryin'.

[beenwithamazon]

That'd do it too.

He better not crash her while I'm gone. Be a shame to come back home from the dead and not have anything to pilot.

[hisautumnflower]

[smiles a little and gives your hand a squeeze]

I'm mainly hoping Jayne didn't sell her once he figured out he was alone.

[beenwithamazon]

I am counting on the magical timestream of camp to keep him from any such course of action.

Or, you know, Jayne's utter brain-failure to keep'im from realizing he was alone at all.

[hisautumnflower]

That's my baby -- thinkin' positive.

[beenwithamazon]

It's a sad day when the workings of Jayne's mind count in any way as part of thinkin' positive, dearest.

[hisautumnflower]

I was talkin' more about camp's magical timestream. Knowin' the workings of Jayne's mind - such as it is - ain't so much positive thinking as it is somethin' I'd rather never put my mind to.

[beenwithamazon]

Knew there was a reason I loved you.

[hisautumnflower]

Because I find Jayne's mind to be a scary, scary place?
