Thanks baby! I was worried it wasn't funny and I was just VERY SLEEPY. You know how that is. ;D

Very fun! I am amused by Inara's frustration, and also by Jayne's questions as to whether she's wearing clothes under the sheet. The way you've written him interrupting her at the beginning works very smoothly!

And also - the last line! Hee.

Thanks much. It's very good to get comments for these little things. Gets the motor running for bigger ones, I hope.

Yay! Truly? More than I'd hoped with this biddy thing! You've painted a big grin on my face, babe. Thanks, thanks.

EEEEE!!!! This is so precious and ensemble!

Her smugness got across.

*hee* I love this because it's so not a word I'd pull out of my head when trying to describe Inara to someone, but it is just. So. TRUE! I love that! I love that she can be smug, without actually being obvious about it until a writer like you point it out.

Simon's entrance into the mess room...I can truly hear him saying that in my head.

"Trick or treat," supplied River once again.

You kill me with the love. Again, I can just totally hear her. And in a reedy voice!

huffed a breath through where she wished she'd thought to cut a mouth circle

God, this is so perfect.

I think you should write late-night/early morning Firefly fics more often, missy.

Thanks a lot, babeling. <3! Thank you! I need us all to be totally immersed in the Firefly fandom, just like old times. It makes a fandom so cozy-like, you know?

*can really hear River saying "trick or treat!" like that.* Brilliant.

PS: got here by way of glockgal. :)

Thanks much for the kind words! It's good to know I got River down okay, because man oh man, does the poor girl get some serious deux-ex-machina abuse in fic.
