“’Bout time we got more womenfolk on this ship..” Jayne was sitting on the counter along the opposite wall to Eleonora in the infirmary. “..Cap’n say we could keep ‘em?”

Kaylee hit him in the arm, “Jayne, they ain’t pets”

“I know that but… women…”

She stared out through the door then whispered, “They sure is cosy talkin‘ out there..” She glanced back at Eleonora. “Oh! Simon! She’s up!”

He rushed to her, doing the same with the light as he’d done to Mina and checking her vitals. “The dashboard knocked your head pretty hard, you’ve been unconscious for a few hours now.. How do you feel?”

Her vision was a little blurred, “Nngh… Where..?”

Mina stood next to her now, “We’re on a ship. The shuttle crashed but we were saved.” She took hold of her hand, “Do you remember who I am?”

“Santa, is that you?”

Mina smiled, “Yeah, she’s okay..” She stepped back to let Simon finish his tests. “Oh, I’m so sorry..” She turned to Kaylee and Jayne. “I never introduced myself.. I’m Mina.”

“Uh.. Jayne…”

Kaylee felt slight jealousy at that moment since her and Simon were getting along so well, but didn’t want to be rude. “Name’s Kaylee” She chirped. “Nice t’have you onboard.”

“It’s good to be aboard” She sighed, relieved to be off that moon.

Simon helped Eleonora sit up slowly. “Be careful, you might get a bit dizzy.”

She groaned, swinging her legs over the edge of the counter. “I am pleased to meet you all.. I’ll just be more pleased when the room stops spinning..”

“That should go away soon.”

“Thank you.” She stood up, pausing a second to balance herself. “My name’s Eleonora.”

Jayne’s feet hit the ground with a thud. He spoke with a certain rehearsed quality. “Well, hello ma’am..” Kaylee and Simon looked at him, stunned. “I’m Jayne Cobb..” he continued, walking over to her. “Can I take ya to the kitchen, getcha a drink?”

Simon shot him a look of disgust. “She’s -”

“Ah, hell!.. I meant tea!”

“I’d love that..” She beamed, then he helped her out of the infirmary.

“Well, that didn’t take long..”
