[ The video is blurry at first before eventually focusing in on a gentleman in suspenders and what can only be described as some kind of cowboy coat. Leather duster? Whatever. Despite the apparent old-fashioned getup, Mal looks relieved when he gets the comm to work. Feels relieved, in fact. ]

… Well. Least the comm tech’s familiar. Can’t say as I tend to send many messages out all public-like, but this seems t’be a special occasion.

[ And he is desperately grateful for that familiarity. He adjusts his suspenders a moment before putting on a neutral smile. ]

Evenin’. The name’s Malcolm Reynolds. Uh - Firefly captain. And since that likely don’t ring no bells, that’d be my spaceship. I’m guessin’ that ain’t something anyone’s seen hair nor hide of here, but I’d surely appreciate anyone who might have a thought to it. Don’t hardly seem fair for this so-called righteous governin’ force to go takin’ our property. Anyone else get stuck with that particular hand? Or any chance of there bein’ a chance it’s been stowed away somewhere hard t’find?

Because I surely get tetchy all land bound an’ all. Don’t hardly do me no favors to keep me out of the sky.

I've done a lot of looking after.

[bad_in_latin]

'spose you have.

... You ain't replayed any've this conversation, right? Other'n that one bit.

[timecapture]

[She's not really into using her powers for such purposes anymore.]

[bad_in_latin]

Good. Tell me if'n you do, s'all I ask.

You drink, kid?

[timecapture]

I will. Promise.

[She means it, too. She actually feels better for having confessed everything, even though it wasn't exactly pleasant for either of them.]

Tea, but that's about it.

[Not only is it illegal where she's from, being under 21 and all, but she's never really liked the taste of alcohol.]

[bad_in_latin]

We'll get tea sometime then. I make a mean cup.

[timecapture]

I'd like that. I have it on good authority that I can make a bitchin' sandwich.

[bad_in_latin]

An' I ain't made too many of 'em, so you got yourself a deal.

[timecapture]

I'll hold you to it.
