It's easy for York to fall into that easy banter with Wash. Wash doesn't show any signs that he's suffering from whatever happened to him after his AI was implanted, and he knows for Wash it hasn't been as long after the fall of the Project as it's been for him. Maybe at some point he'll inquire more personally, but for now, with all the nonsense going on, this is easier.

In any case, he chuckles at Wash's rejoinder. "Yeah, it took a few tries for me to get what I wanted, but I was persistent." He stands, goes over to the closet, and opens it—to reveal a full ballet costume, complete with toe shoes and tutu. "Here, this'd be a good look," he says.
