The greatest challenge in Kaylee's life these days (among all the others that she's just trying not to think about):

Peeling off the label on the bottle without ripping it.

She's at the bar, deeply engrossed in this task.

Comments

"Thanks for the tip," Kaylee says, without glancing up.

The point, she doesn't say, is to make the process extend as long as possible.

A sidelong glance.

Not like she never sees people drunk to the point of obnoxious; she'll wait and see how bad it gets.

"'S fine," is her only contribution.

And spend enough time in dives on the Rim --

Kaylee's maybe straightened up a little.

She doesn't look up. Doesn't take her eyes off her bottle.

Last thing she needs is trouble.
