"Five years."

Mal never remembers these things on his own. It's more when he steps up to the bar and he receives a note of congratulations from his mother the Barman and a cupcake from the bar.

"Wow."

Mal orders a Coke to go with the cupcake, requesting also a pad of paper and a ballpoint pen to get some notes written out for later.

Come on by when he settles into a booth. He's got the time, apparently.

[ooc: open. very open. not so open anymore! off to bed. <333]

"No. I've got a couple contacts to check in with, see what measure of exciting they may be up to."

Kaylee immediately looks pained. "Is this the kind of thing where I'm likely to get shot?" Beat. "Again?"

[badinlatin]

"No.



"As much as I can ever guarantee that."

Mal can admit things like that! He's grown!

[gonna_live]

"If this winds up with me bleedin', you get to explain it to him." Dry.






"But I'm in."

[badinlatin]

Mal smiles at this. She has an option, and she said I'm in.

"I'll keep you in the loop for details then. Meanwhile..."

Cue winning smile.

"You goin' to share that garden work any? I'm hoping for tomatoes..."

[gonna_live]

"You don't get me shot, and you get tomatoes."

[badinlatin]

"Damn. Hard bargain, but fair."

[gonna_live]

Kaylee grins at him. "I figure you can use the extra incentive."

[badinlatin]

"My record when it comes to other folk 'sides me ain't all that bad."

Mal is usually the one that ends up bloody.

"...anybody ever actually tried compilin' statistics on that?"

[badinlatin]

"I'm sure River could get you some numbers? Who knows what data that girl's compilin'."

You know there's a spreadsheet somewhere with how many bullets they waste per month on it.

[gonna_live]

"I couldn't understand it." Kaylee shrugs. "But maybe I'll ask."

That last probably shouldn't sound like a thret.

"Someone has to help Inara keep track of me," Mal jibes, finishing off his cupcake with aplomb.

After a second, he wipes his mouth idly with the back of his hand. "I'm happy I ran into you here."

[gonna_live]

Kaylee brightens. Considerably.

"Me too."

[badinlatin]

"Good to hear."

That's easy enough for Mal.

[ooc: wrap there unless you have some place for that to go? :)!]

[gonna_live]

[badinlatin]
