One of the (many) things I adore about this series is how you capture that River is not unfocussed in her fey-ness...she may experience the world about her in a surreal way, but it doesn't mean that she's unconcious of what's happening around her, and she is capable of shaping events (and people) to her benefit.
I really like this...that she's as manipulative as everyone else, and I don't mean this in a negative way, but that she is just like everyone else in this way...and not this complete innocent 'child', which is how she is sometimes portrayed. Beneath her fey coy charm, beats the heart of a mature determined woman...and Jayne just doesn't stand a chance *grins

"And she is a girl?"
"She's a girl."
"And he will take her on the Ferris Wheel?"
