[ it appears to be a normal day in space. the crew of serenity is milling about in the tiny, old-looking kitchen and chatting. of course, community members will spot river tam sitting at the table with her brother, and the others are moving to join them. everyone appears to be enjoying themselves, at least, smiling and laughing, although by the sounds of things, there's an argument going on.
captain reynolds enters the room in the midst of this. ] No one is settin' foot on that fancy rock, I don't want anyone leavin' the ship. Come to think of it, I don't want anyone lookin' out the windows, or talkin' loud. We're here to drop off Inara, that's it.
What's the point of comin' to the core if I can't even step off the boat?
[ everyone continues to mutter and chat, since it looks like the discussion is over. river hasn't said a word. she's sitting there, watching jayne's weapon maintenance. he's licking a knife and being a dick to simon. river wanders off into the kitchen while jayne and simon are bickering, and anyone watching her in the background will see her take out a huge carving knife.
without a word, she walks back into the room and slashes jayne across the chest with the knife. judging by the amount of blood, it's a pretty serious and deep wound. jayne reacts immediately - he recoils, and promptly backhands river to the floor. everyone moves in a sudden panic, simon running to river: ]
River, no!
[ the crew assesses the situation - "i got the knife" - "he's bleeding!" - "that's deep" - "he okay?" - and meanwhile river glances up at jayne, blood in her own mouth, looks around at the horrified faces in obvious confusion and she says - bewildered, offended, insistent? - like she has no idea what she's done wrong: ]
He looks better in red.

River!? What just happened???

I said I didn't want any. Didn't like the taste.

Is that why you attacked that man?
no subject
Not an attack. It was a rearrangement. Blue's too bright and I had to fix it.

It was the wrong communication. No one ordered an interrogation! No one told me that I was under inspection—

[He's being rude to that young man, and if River likes that Simon, it's obvious why she'd cut him up. Punishment.]
[And he does look good when he's bloody.]

[He's trying to understand.]
[ video ]
his first instinct after seeing that display is to drop everything and world-hop there right there and then to check on things. he knows River is unstable, and he's no stranger to violence himself, not even violence born out of something that seems irrational to everyone else - the way Sam was when he was craving demon blood... but that kind of violent outburst isn't one he's seen from her before. not to that extent.
he almost does it, too, until he remembers that he should probably ask, first. in case she doesn't want company after that. ]
River, may I come over?
[ if he doesn't get a negative answer, he'll be right there. ]
no subject
You may.
[ action ]
[ ... why yes, he did wait until he'd world-hopped there, appearing in her room with the sound of rushing wings, before he answered that. you're welcome. ]
