The problem is such that she takes it to Simon's friend Jordie: where do you take a friend from out of town who had an upbringing similar to her own and feels a little off in places as fancy as anywhere Simon would suggest?

The response comes back via wave: Have a little more faith in your husband, but not much -- he never went to this particular bar as much as I did. Ask him (I'm assuming he knows your friend better than I do) what he would think about The Pig.

Apparently it's suitable for Jayne Cobb, and walking distance from their apartment, and so Kaylee and Jayne present themselves at a local speakeasy that from the outside is a mere door, no windows. A hand-written sign in Mandarin tacked to it pronounces the name of the establishment to be The Pig In The Poke.

Jayne gives the tender a discreet signal for two more drinks - which, in Jayne's case, means waving an arm high above his head and bellowing, "Another round!" before turning to Kaylee to say, with a loud snigger, "All of it that mattered, anyhow. It were a hell of a time explainin' to her ma after."

"Still do, though," smugs Jayne, "an' it's a damn fine one, no denyin'."

Though it's not like Jayne needs to parade around in tight pants showing it off. Unlike some people!

"Better t'get a handle on," points out Jayne, who obviously only lives to make life easier for the ladies.

Jayne waggles his eyebrows. "All kinds a uses for that."

Jayne is rich in body cavities. He does not think this is a bad thing.

"Never figured you for so narrow-minded, Kaylee," Jayne says, reproachfully. "Gotta think a the possibilities."

Jayne pats her on the shoulder.

"It's a real shame you went an' married a fellow with a borin' pigu. Ain't let you exercise your creativity."

"Don't know what you're missin'," Jayne informs her, and downs the rest of his own glass.

"Compensatin'," is Jayne's succinct rejoinder.

"Was there, weren't interested in lookin' thanks, an' I don't know 'bout what kinda standards you got, but far's I'm concerned a man don't wear pants that tight if he's doin' more than all right."

Too painful!

"I ain't thought about nothin'!" grumbles Jayne, which is . . . probably truer than he means.

"You want to know the truth - fact is, there was a time when I was younger'n'dumber'n I am now I thought I could handle the tight pants. They was all in with the ladies, dŏng ma? Fact is," he goes on, with sad and slightly sloshy dignity, "I was too much man for 'em an' it didn't work out, an' that, little Kaylee, is how I know."

"Could be," Jayne says.

"Or it could be as the right ladies was all dead at the time."



There's a pause before the inevitable leer . . . but it comes eventually. "Found my fair share a wrong ladies, though."

"Wouldn't say no to a Companion," Jayne says, considering this, "but I reckon a plain whore does me just as well, an' with none a that hoity-toititude.

"'sides, 'Nara's nothin' but the livin' proof that Companions got guài yì de taste."

UNLIKELY, says Jayne's expression.

Dismissive: "Ball an' chain with 'nara's tits is still a ball an 'chain."
