Already her lips twist into a sour frown looking at it immortalized in ink in her own script. Paper is precious though, relying on the kindness of the honored others to smuggle parchment down to her. She could try scratching it out, but then she is left with a record of this transgression. It'd be easy enough for him to figure out what she's attempting to cover up. She absolutely cannot reuse this piece to draft a note to Mal.

She folds the note as soon as the ink is dried. It now only presents the small problem of getting the note to him. Susan won't do after she's asked her to only ferry notes to Mal. Sam is an even worse option; Alina's sure Mal has already warned him about Kirigan.
No, this is a delicate matter that will require a different courier. Thankfully, it is not too long until a potential one finds himself walking in front of her cell.
