[Mal Reynolds has not had an easy couple of days. As stressful as the entire ordeal had been, he could have overlooked an emergency landing on an uncharted planet. He could swallow the concept of aliens, handle sudden skirmishes, adjust to captivity, even hang in there through an escape attempt and cope with the subsequent injuries and surface wounds now peppering his body. Asking him to take on an inmate not even three days after all of this – now, that was a bit much.

He flipped through Natasha Romanoff's file once more, wondering again how he was going to find this woman and why the Admiral had assigned them together in the first place. If she was really as good a spy as her file said there was no way she didn't have an alias. He was just going to have to hope the blunt approach would smoke her out, at least for now. Turning on his communicator, he switched it to video and turned it to face him.

Duìbùqǐ,* Miz Romanoff? We oughtta meet, seeing as we got a few things to talk about.

[Her eyes flicker toward his hand, but it's the only reaction there is. She's the picture of calm.]

I want to see my file. [Because fuck you why are all those things in there. >(]

The Admiral could supply you with a new one. [Which is her way of saying yes because there's no point to burning it if he can just get another copy.]

Inmate shortage. [She is nope.jpg'ing here and has no intention of giving him a straight answer yet, sorry Mal. :c]

[She doesn't narrow her eyes at the metaphor, just wonders if that's in her file, too. She shrugs.]

What makes you say that?

[She's saner than River, be grateful for that?

And Natasha somehow doesn't bat an eye at that. She thinks about ripping his throat out. Or at least punching him out. But she doesn't. She lifts her chin a little, head tilting so she can look at him.]


Hate to say it, but the recent string of murders hasn't had anything to do with me.

There's the bar. The CES. I don't think anyone's tried bungee jumping over the rail yet. [She looks away from him, finally, to glance over the edge of the boat.] Looks like fun to me.
