In any case, she's use to grouchy Mal, and knows how to handle him pretty well. Half of it's just show, in any case. Got that reputation of his to keep up, or some such. "Ain't to say you can't fly at all," she adds, "just that there ain't really anyplace to be goin' when you do so."

Laughter follows, though. "Got little stations, like vendin' machines, and you punch in whatever you want, and out it pops. Can't be nothin' big, and most times you end up gettin' the components and makin' whatever yourself, but it's real handy in most cases." Gives her parts whenever she needs them, and that's good enough for her.

Kaylee shifts the tablet as Mal speaks, gaining a slightly better view of his face as she does so. "Want me to go with ya to see, or would you rather on your own?" Knowing Mal he'll want to go it alone, but that doesn't mean she can't offer a buddy if he needs one.
