“But you said we needed a cargo, Cap’n,” Kaylee said. “It weren’t the easiest thing tryin’ to find one on this block of ice.”
“I believe I did say we needed a cargo,” Mal admitted. “However, I believe I also remember saying some time ago that we wouldn’t be taking living cargo with more’n two legs ever again.”
Kaylee bit her lip nervously. Mal sighed.
“What’re they paying?”
She showed him the shipping contract.
He looked out over the antler-studded cargo bay that suddenly appeared just that little bit brighter.
“Just make sure none of ‘em have red noses, y’hear, Kaylee?”
“Cap’n?”
He chuckled as he strode away, humming an ancient song his mother used to sing.
