Having talked to several people, and feeling slightly more comfortable with things, Mal began moving around the crowd again, taking in the appearances of everyone there, and also partly keeping an eye out for the telepaths that Jo had pointed out.

As he got nearer to the fringes of the gathering, he thought he spotted one of them. Not giving himself a second to think how best to respond (after all, they were still people, telepaths or not), Mal walked up, held out a hand, and introduced himself. "I'm Captain Mal Reynolds. I heard from someone that you're a telepath..." Probably not the best introduction line ever, but he couldn't think of a better way to say it.
