Usually the captain was a somewhat larger-than-life personality - inflated, was the term Simon preferred. So when he entered the galley to find his crewmates gathered around the dinner table, and Mal in a decisive sulk, he was immediately curious. "What's going on?" This was not to ask why the captain was not simply walking away, or crawling under the table to die of embarrassment, as it looked like Mal was seriously contemplating. After his long search, Simon had uncovered the source of the mouthwatering scent drifting through the ship, and it was many a man who had surrendered all rights to dignity with the promise of sufficient quantities of pie. Kaylee pursed her lips, unusually frustrated. "Tryin' to tell the captain that Inara thinks he's swai." "No, we weren't, and she does not!" Mal objected. This was a situation that perhaps required that he step carefully. Simon considered. "Have you hit your head recently?" he asked, ever the conscientious doctor. Zoe raised an eyebrow, and Jayne snorted from where he was scarfing down a bowl of popcorn. "Or not so recently?" "Bi zui." It was very difficult to sound dangerous and deadly serious while only armed with a fork and a speared candied cherry, but Mal somehow managed it. "I'm not havin' this from you, either. I pay all of you an indecent wage to not stand around speculating on fàng​pì​ shēnhuà. The two of us have a business arrangement, and that's it." "Long term brain damage it is," Simon assessed, nodding slowly.

Does Jayne wear a Union suit for pajamas? We know Mal doesn't. But just how western is this setting? I have inexplicable questions about underwear! Boxers? Briefs? I am most interested in your opinions!

Horse research: as it turns out, they're COMPLICATED. So, since it's also an interesting Mal character question, I'm turning it over to you. We know Mal knows horses, so how much care would Mal have with a horse in a crisis? Keep in mind that despite living out west, I'm in the city and don't know much about horses. I've only ridden once, and that was with the people who maintained the horses. My initial assumption is that for practical reasons Mal wouldn't hurt the horse, as he needs it to keep going. But, once he's done with the horse, saying it's one he "borrowed." If he's on a bit of a time crunch but the horse is tacked up, would he take the time to remove the saddle or bridle before letting it loose? Would he not bother tacking up in the first place and go bareback (he might still have to remove the bridle, if the answer to the first question is yes)? Say this gets no where near running the horse to death. But, as a side note, that's also an interesting question to ask if he would.
