“River…?” Simon walked up behind his sister.

“Ssh!” she raised an imperious hand. “Relationship habits are fascinating.”

“What?” Simon asked, uncomprehending.

“Watch,” River pointed into the cargo bay where Kaylee was working under the mule, chattering away to an unseen assistant.

Kaylee’s hand emerged from the mule’s inner workings, waving in the air imperiously; and Jayne, his expression, a mixture of indulgence and longing, stepped from the shadows and handed her a spanner. The moment Kaylee popped her head out and smiled at him the mercenary’s face changed to its habitual teasing leer.

“Oh,” said Simon blankly.

“Fascinating,” said River.

whuh? I thought I commented already! LJ must have eaten my comment this morning or something. I love how you show Jayne's private vs. public self here, and how Simon is seeing it for the first time and realizing just what it means *GLOMPS*

Naughty LJ *slaps it*. Jayne's pretty good at covering up. I'm glad River made Simon look at a few things.
