"Oh! Hi! Hiii! Hao joh bu jian!*" he laughed, truly surprised at the reaction. But he patted the small girl's back. "I'm...real happy to see you, too, River!"
Wash never had been too sure about River before. He had heart for the girl, though, especially after all that was done to her was revealed. Then she was psychic, but he supposed that was no reason to be afraid of her. But knowing she could predict things, that had been unsettling. Still, he always had a spot of caring for her.
And, apparently, she was pretty keen on him as well.
"Oh! Okay. Let's get a look of you, huh?" Wash said after her pointy shoulder started to invade his throat area. He lightly pushed her up in front of him as he got on his knees.
"So! You're a ballerina, huh? That's really shiny...and safe," he said, not able nor wanting to hide the huge grin invading his face.
