Mal looked back at his mechanic, momentarily confused, before letting off a chain of swears in Chinese. “Man at the docks told me those were perfectly compatible with Serenity, that gorram--”
Kaylee shook her head. “Ain’t the batteries ‘M talkin’ about,” she replied slowly, as if that would get the point across faster.
A lengthy pause followed, and then Mal’s expression changed to one of slight horror. He blinked at Kaylee, but her nod simply confirmed the idea in his head. Another moment of awkward silence, and then Mal’s fingers flew up to his ears, and he couldn’t seem to get out of the engine room fast enough.
The mechanic simply laughed and went back to her work. Really, it shouldn’t be so much fun to tease one man.
