*Mal stepped onto the bridge, slowly turning to face the man behind him. He took in a deep breath* Never told me you had a kid. Kind of 'portant info, dontcha think?

Jayne shrugged. "It didn't seem important. Mainly because none o' you ever seemed t' care about my life. Nor because I thought she was dead. Her and her momma both. Turned out only her momma was."

Is important. *He blinked, staring at the man, before he started shaknig his head. He seemed angerier then he really should have been, but that wasn't Jayne's fault. He was still annoyed about how the day out with Nara had ended* You wasn't sure though, were you? Didn't even bother to check up, didya? *He glared at Jayne* How olds she then? You do know right?

Jayne narrowed his eyes. "I was checkin' up on them after I left to be a merc. That's how I found out that her momma died. I figured she had died too. I may not have done the right thing at the time, but I'm sure as hell gonna try and do it now."
"She's eighteen, matter of fact. How could I not know, Mal? Havin' her was one of the best things that happened to me. Nearly broke me when I found out about her momma and thought the worst about her, like I keep sayin'. I'm not tryin' to excuse my behaviour nor justify it, if that's what you think."
"And where in the gorram hell d'you come off bein' all high an' mighty over this? T'aint really your responsibility is it?"

*He went to say something, but stopped. He frowned slightly, glancing to the floor. He really had no reason to be terribly upset. He knew he didn't. Jayne never did speak about his personal life, but then again, neither did Mal. He shifted slightly, his tone changing, him backing off.*
You plan to do the right thing now? Whats that? Stay here? *Malcolm trully didn't believe that*

"Not stay here, no. I don't like bein' in one spot for too long. I was plannin' on havin' 'em stay on Serenity with us. An' before you say no, they don' have much in the way of home security, you know? They's thieves and pickpockets at best. We have the room in the passenger dorms and they has the coin. Not sure how much, but we can find out how much they do have."

*He listedn to the man talk, going over it in his mind. He wasn't going to let no kids stay in the black alone...he wasn't that kind of man. He shook his head*
I wasn't going to say no. *He watched him closely* But No...no coin. *He shifted his arms, leaning his head back* They do work if they stay, but no coin. I don't charge you lot, won't charge no kids.

Jayne blinked a little, almost unable to believe what he was hearing. "Yer actually sayin' yes t'one o' my ideas? I almost can't believe it."
"I'll go an' tell 'em then." He started to move but stopped. "Thanks, Mal. I mean it."

*Mal just nodded* Alright...*He ran a hand through his hair, heading for the pilots chair to sit* If you see 'Nara...*He began, but stopped*
Were leaving in two days. Make sure you tell them that...

"I'll be sure to tell 'em that."
"If I see 'Nara what?" he asked, eyeing Mal. 'Did Inara and he finally make some progress?' the merc thought

Forget it. *He flopped down in the chair, turning it so his back was towards the man, shifting to place his feet up on the dash*

Jayne raised an eyebrow. "No no. It's somethin'. Did you two git into a fight agin?"
He figured that would be the likely case, seeing as that's all they ever did.

Could say that, s'pose. She ain't happy with me at the moment. *He shrugged his shoulder, leaning back against the pilots chair, shutting his eyes*

"Yeah well..." he was going to say more but didn't, as he didn't want Mal to change his mind on the matter of Mikey and the other two, as Jayne had a feeling Mal's generosity was already being stretched at this point.
"Hopefully she won't stay mad at ya fer long. And you both can get t' sexin' soon."

*He couldn't help but smile at the man's comment, shaking his head slightly.* Maybe *He wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to respond to that really*
Go spend time with ya' girl, Jayne *It wasn't really a command, more a suggestion*
