Faith felt her mouth water a little bit with every rep he did. A solid mass of muscle rippled, and sweat beaded on his scarred back. Up and down, his fingers laced on the underbelly of the catwalk. She tried to not make the staring obvious, but apparently she wasn't doing so hot.

"A thousand tiny dancers kicking under the skin," A ghostly voice whispered beside her. "Don't let them be so lonely and lost, join the dance."

Faith stared as River danced away, her big bulky combat boots leaving only the faintest whisper on the cargo room floor. Jayne dropped to the floor, grabbing Faith's attention once more. He swiped at his chest with the towel, and Faith nearly groaned. His left hand fingered his shirt, and what Faith was sure was his gun Vera beneath it. She grinned. God bless a man who thought of shooting first and maybe asking questions later.

"Oh, it's you," Jayne grunted, wiping at the back of his neck.

"Yeah, it's me," Faith grinned up at him.

"Whaddya want?"

"You," she said, yanking his face down.

"I never kiss 'em on the mouth," he said thickly.

"Don't worry, neither do I," she replied.
