Frustration
“I’d have to be bored,” had been Jayne’s answer. “Really bored. And lonely. Really, really lonely. And drunk. Really, really, really drunk.”

Simon had laughed.
“All right, I’ll bite, let’s see… ok, got it. I’d do it if it were one of the ransom demands made by someone who’d kidnapped River. Or you.”

“It just don’t seem to be goin’ like I thought it would.”
Inara lit a candle. “Perhaps it’s the way you approached them.”
Kaylee flopped onto the bed. “The way I said it was, ‘Would you ever sleep with him?’”
Inara smiled. “There’s your problem. You asked the wrong question. You have to make your needs known, Kaylee.”
~
Simon gaped. “Really? You – with – want to…” His voice trailed off.
“Well, see – ” Kaylee started, but Simon shook his head emphatically.
“It’d kill me to watch the two of you together, Kaylee. Just kill me.”
Kaylee stared for a minute, then laughed.
“I didn’t mean with me, silly,” she said.
Simon gaped again.

“All I kin say,” said Jayne, “all I kin say is, Doc, you’re the girl.”
“Like hell.”
“Sorry, Doc.” Jayne grinned. He was starting to enjoy himself. “I’m way manlier than you are, so you have to – Holy Hell!”
He stared.
“And it’s not even fully erect yet,” said Simon tartly. “So who’s the girl?”
Jayne gazed at Kaylee. “Honest to God, girl,” he said after a while, “You got that in bed with you. What the hell do you need me fer? He kin use it, right?”
“Damn right!” snapped Simon.
Kaylee sighed. “There’s something about this I ain’t sayin’ right.”
~
“So you’ve given up?” asked Inara.
Kaylee shrugged. “Too much trouble. More trouble than it’s worth.”
“I’m sorry you feel that way.”
“Not as sorry as I am,” said Kaylee. “Now I lost that bet with Zoë.”
