Comments: My take on why River was sitting near Jayne in Out of Gas. Originally written for [livejournal.com profile] firefly100, prompt: rose


To die freezing wasn’t preferable to dying breathless; River wished she’d never thought it so. The thought of her brother or any of the others dying either way terrified her and jangled her mind. Her companions thought the same, their chaotic thoughts impinged on hers and her pulse spiralled.

One voice rose above the others and she latched onto its solidity. Steady hands went about their work to the accompaniment of a litany. Calm, be calm. Don’t talk. Don’t fight. Calm, be calm.

River exhaled slowly and partially comforted, sat next to Jayne to hear the Captain’s talk. Calm…

Oh, very nice. He was wondrously level-headed during that whole situation.

He was wasn't he? I think it shows a real depth of character.

Calm, be calm. Don’t talk. Don’t fight. Calm, be calm.

He's remarkably together in this episode isn't he? River sitting next to him has always intrigued me...

I always find that steady look she gives him interesting and that's a great explanation of it.

They're both so quiet through the speech Mal gives, I always wondered why...
