River tracked him; appearing when he least expected it. She hovered while he exercised and stole his hoarded food.

She folded his shirts incorrectly, oiled his guns and sat with him whenever possible. Jayne didn’t react.

He listened for her; actin’ shocked when she appeared. He worked out harder when she was round and hid his food so she could find it.

He forgot his laundry, let her touch his guns and sit with him.

“It ain’t workin’,” Jayne complained.

“It will,” Inara smiled conspiratorially. “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

Jayne growled; he was tired of patience.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Awww... love it darlin'. So very true, especially with them...

I think with his tracking and sniper experience, Jayne can probably be very patient - up to a point, then he'd get bored with it and snap. I think he's about reached that point here. Very nicely done.

Lovely snippet of River and Jayne drawing closer.

“It ain’t workin’,” Jayne complained.

“It will,” Inara smiled conspiratorially. “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

Nice moment with Inara giving Jayne advice.

But will he take it? He's losing patience!

More please, bookaddict43.

Jayne's so sweet when he's being impatiently patient. ;)

Heh, this was cute. But I'm betting River is quite aware of what's going on! You need to write the next one on her.

That's Mal's girl, I knew she was on their side! Very nicely done. I always admire people who can say so much in such few words!

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

Hurrah for Inara, poor Jayne.

Everything you need in 100 words. :)
