What can you say is truly yours?

[xiaomeimei]

I ain't got much in the way of things. Don't see much use for 'em. I mean, I'd like to have some things like Inara's, but they'd just get all dirty in the engine-room anyways, so it don't much matter

Does your pretty duckling fly?

[xiaomeimei]

No. It's just made of wood. Like a toy.

[pixie_viscera]

Pity, that. When the stars wish it, she might spread her wings and plunge away.

[xiaomeimei]

Huh? I don't rightly think so. She's just carved out of a piece o' wood. She ain't gonna fly anywhere.

[pixie_viscera]

Why, you're only bits of paper and lace, dear dolly.

[xiaomeimei]

You ain't quite right in the head, are you?

[pixie_viscera]

Hush, wee dolly. Haven't yet grown lips or tongue to speak.

Do you know the pixie queen?

[xiaomeimei]

No, I don't know any such person.

I do to have lips and a tongue. I'm right here talkin'.

[pixie_viscera]

Not right. Not here.

[xiaomeimei]

Well, no. I ain't where you are. But I'm where I am and I'm all grown.

[pixie_viscera]

Dropped in the bathtub, floating in tin.

[xiaomeimei]

Serenity ain't made of tin.

[pixie_viscera]

Bits and pieces, humming and buzzing...

[xiaomeimei]

Well. Yes. She does do that.

[pixie_viscera]

Little toy boat in the bathtub. Careful should it sink and bubble.

[xiaomeimei]

I think you're loonier than River.
