Summary: Mal does the paperwork. For [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics.



The forms bother Mal, useless and meaningless and entirely too prying into what ain't anyone's business but his own. If he means to pull off heists with Serenity -- well, whose fault could it be but his own? Not the person sellin' him the ship and not anyone else the ship touches. Just him and his crew, and even they -- they'd just be followin' his orders. It's all just so much red tape to him, so he doesn't really bother with it -- fills it in enough for satisfaction and lets it go.

I like this as an extension of Mal's character: a distust of paperwork and bureaucracy (because he probably associates both with the Alliance.)
