Wow - this is just exceedingly well done. You've conveyed so much here, without having much actually happening. A gem of a scene.
I think this is one of the things I find appealing about Firefly fanfics: You can do an active, over-the-to scene (which is where my stories tend to end up), but you can also do this sort of subtle, understated scene (which I think is a wonderful thing, especially when done as well as you have here), and both types of scenes are true to the feel of the original.
