"If everything I been told about that lady's true, she'll be back 'fore we can enjoy everything right," Jayne grumbled, walking alongside her and keeping one hand on Boo at his hip. Something about that woman really gave him the creeps. Talkin' about Reavers so lightly, and threatening Kaylee... He suppressed a shudder, remembering what she and the other girl told him.

Bullets were useless. But how could Jayne protect Kaylee right if that didn't work? Something told him he didn't want to get close enough to try Binky on the bitch.

"What do you got that she wants, anyway?" No one ever bothers to fill him in on things, he thought bitterly. It's like they thought he couldn't be trusted, or something!

It was none of Kincaid's business to care about what was going on in the city - the three wizards didn't leave much information to really go by except "kill the witch and go home". While he had a standing contract with Ivy, he wouldn't have minded the side job - if it was actually a job and there was subsequent monetary compensation. He didn't do his job out of the goodness of his heart.

Apparently, though, the woman - one Morgan le Fay and wasn't that some messed up bullshit - had laid waste to two buildings in Chicago. Sniper shot to the skull would have ended that quickly, but since certain people were too goddamn paranoid to give good answers

Kaylee grinned up at Jayne and skipped for a couple steps. "Don't mean we can't try," she reminded him. Everyone, including herself, was beyond worried about what they were going to do, what was going to come next. The little things, like a walk with a friend, needed to be enjoyed more than ever. Even with how frightened she was, Kaylee still couldn't find it in her to give up completely. Everyone would do what they could.

"It's a watch," she started to explain, but trailed off at the sight of the man as they rounded the corner. It was hard not to notice him, and Kaylee doubted she would have missed him even if the street had been crowded. She even started to smile at him, as a passing greeting, but his words halted her. Without really realizing it, Kaylee shrank a little closer to Jayne. Even so, her voice remained mostly even as she replied. "Enough of one, apparently."

He had to suppress a smile, watching her run around like that. But sure enough, that didn't last long. Whoever this guy was, whatever that look in his eyes was, Jayne didn't like him. He took a small step in front of Kaylee. Boo remained in its holster for now, but that would change with the slightest of threats.

"I don't see as to how that's any of your business."
