Mal grumbled a low response as the door mechanics whirred. "Kaylee, I'll worry about the outside, you just concern yourself with the inside and why this door is sounding so loud. Don't need it flyin' off when we get going."
Mal eyed his flustered mechanic as she wrapped her head around the wizard's compliment. Shaking his head slightly, Mal stepped forward to 'welcome' the wizard onboard. Welcome was a relative term. Mal was going to permit the other man to board his ship, but he wasn't keen on the swirling gusts of dust and the fact that their only hope for parts was a walking suitcase. Mal didn't do.. magic.
"If you can give Kaylee here what she needs to get my ship running; you've got yourself the use of one of Serenity's passenger dorms. Considerin' we're currently down by one Jayne Cobb, you don't have to worry about anyone trying to kill you while on my ship. So long as neither you nor your... box there... bring cause to looking into the subject."
