Been a rough couple of days, out in the black.
Jayne ain't exactly the sort of fella who'd avoid another fella; he'd rather fight it out, get it out in the open.
But fighting with Simon's liable to catch Mal's attention. And Mal's attention, once caught, ain't exactly a comfortable thing.
'Specially when Jayne don't rightly know why he's so gorram itchy.
He don't think about Canton, much. Truth be told, and Jayne's too upfront to be much of a liar in general, he don't think of Canton at all. But last few days, he's been thinking on Canton quite a bit. That kid. Those people.
All willing to take a bullet for his sake.
Ain't nobody, 'sides Mal on a real nice and generous day, willing to take a bullet for Jayne Cobb save his mà. Least, that's what he figures. Ain't like he's about to go around asking.
'Hey, 'Nara, would you take a bullet for me?'
Where's that get fun?
So.
Jayne cleans Vera up real nice a couple times, and even reorganizes his bunk, putting all the sharp and dangerous pieces high. He don't even realize, till later, that he's thinking about Naomi not getting into it all.
Ain't never looked so neat and clean, even when he first moved in.
Not that anyone ever stops by.
