[What the hell is this chicken scratch. An... apology? Oh, right. Last night's wacky misunderstanding. You'd think after a bit of sleep Mal would be less irritable. And he is! But he still crumples the note up.
And just kind of holds it for a while, sitting there with his arm resting on his knee, gazing off at nothing in particular. Well, he gets the nightmare thing at least. He probably hasn't done the kid any favours in getting him to relax or feel safe. Ugh... he'd better not have spooked him into thinking he has to avoid the room again. At least his clothes are still here, so he'll be back, right?
my heart is suffering

So he leaves a note on top of them.]
