(no subject)
Who: River, Spike, Mal
When: During the 'splosionfest
Where: River and Mal's hovel
Rating: PG. R if you can understand Chinese.
Warnings: Lots of Chinese cursing. I guarantee it.
Summary: River wants to go dance in the "rain", and big, fluffy, intimidating men stop her.
River wanted to be sitting on the couch moping. She had every intention of sitting on the couch, and moping. In fact, she was doing the moping part very well. The only flaw to her plan was the lack of a couch. Ah, the simple things one took for granted... it was much harder to mope without a couch. Still, she was a super-genius; she'd figured it out.
All of it came back to her gao yang of a captain; all she'd wanted to do was play in the rain. Dance, and frolic; that wasn't so much to ask. But no. It was dangerous... It didn't matter. She'd tried to tell him that life was cheap here; death wasn't permanent. It didn't matter, none of it mattered. So, why couldn't she just go play?
Well... because she'd promised Spike, that she'd wait until he got there. He might be able to convince the captain... but, probably not. He was hard-headed. Wouldn't change his mind, once he'd made a decision. Stubborn.
It was irritating.
