Mal's expression is grounded firmly in I don't believe you.

"I think you were about to chastise me for willingly being wounded some point in the future," he leads.

"I think I may have been about to give up on that, in fact."

He's leaning back against the pillows as he speaks, and his smile is genuine but tired.

"You look about ready to give up on bein' conscious for the night," Mal notes. "I'll let you get some sleep, Doc."

A beat of looking downward, "Don't do anythin' too...stressful."

"I'll try not to. Xiexie, Mal."

He's asleep within a few seconds of touching the disconnect.
