"Maybe," she conceeded with a small grin. "Now come on, why don't you eat a couple more bite of your dinner. Then we can go and I promise I'll be quick as a...
"Yes, meditation was usually is quiet, I will try to keep my thoughts at a low level," he mused. Book moved around River and kneeled near his bed. "You are...
... "Mmmh-hmmm." River was into her - or the shepard's - book, and unless she was going to be disturbed, or told to go, she wasn't going to even bother ...
As much as Simon wanted not to, he felt himself stepping closer to Kaylee as she messed with a button on his vest. "I was thinking that." he said, nodding ...
"I like the way you dress, but you'll get your vest all dirty and you'll probably never be able to get it out. Plus you'll stand out like a sore thumb," she...
Book distantly heard her, but continued with his meditaion clearing her thoughs so he could begin to pray. River proved little distraction, but there was that...
... Distracted by the thoughts, and annoyed at them, she lifted her head, narrowing her eyes as she took in Book. "You're not trying, but I can hear you. And...
"It certainly wasn't intentional," Book said. "But you wouldn't deny that you're dangerous. Then again you have always been dangerous, River. I don't think...
... River shrugged. "As you point out, it's true. So why do you assume that I'd be bothered by you thinking it? What does bother me is you assuming I do...
"I've already become accustom to the fact that whatever I wear, I will never seen fully and truely clean. Everything I have either has dirt, or grease, or ...
"I ain't hardly got a think t'wear that don't have at least a spot of engine grease on it," she shrugged, smiling at him. When he said he could dress himself...
"You have a great many talent River and you have done nothing to put the crew at ease as to you intentions towards them, if you have any. I wouldn't be...
... River turned her attention away from the book, and focused on the Shepard. As he spoke, she began to frown deeply, brow furrowing. When he was done, she...
"What can you teach a genius?" Book asked. He cocked an eyebrow at him. "If you are so smart, young River, and you wished to have the crew help keep you safe...
Simon nodded lightly and stood there for at least half a second more as he relished the feeling of her fingers against his. It was a simple action, true, but...
Kaylee smiled brightly as Simon when she saw him coming towards her. She was still in her grease covered coveralls and ready to go. She smirked some at what...
Seeing her smile, Simon looked down at his clothing, and then back at her with a light frown. "What?" he asked, and then heard her speak again, and started ...
"Junkyard is 'bout a quarter mile from the docks I think. Haven't been t'this one in awhile, think I know where it is though," Kaylee said, skipping ahead a...
"I think that's what I miss most about Osiris. The summers weren't hot...the winters were cold, but I always like winter." Simon didn't know why he was ...
... River smirked. "Do you think you can teach me?" If he thought so, she wouldn't be opposed. Yes, she had knowledge - but that didn't mean that there...
Kaylee gave him a generous smile and slowed a little so Simon could catch up with him. "Summers ain't so bad if ya got a pond or a lake you could go skinny...
"Teach you to be like the old River, or teach you to be deceptive?" Book asked. Were they really two different things. "Kaylee could probably teach you...
... She watched him, as she awaited the new answer. "Would you like to see Kaylee teach me?" She asked it archly. "I doubt she'd be willing to teach me...
"Perhaps if you earned her trust, earned her friendship back, she would. It would be work no doubt, the rift between the two of you is very large. You will...
"We had pond on our estate, but..." Simon shrugged lightly. "After a while, I just stopped going outside. After River went to school..." he trailed off, and...
Kaylee tried to imagine a chocolate covered strawberry. She'd had a one once, but it had been so long ago she could hardly remember what it tasted like. She...
Simon was sure that Kaylee could get her way, just by smiling if she wanted to. She always had him doing whatever she wanted. He reached into his pocket, and...
If Kaylee had been a shy or bashful girl she might have politely refused. But these were strawberries and it was Simon offering to buy her some, so she didn't...
"Perhaps if you earned her trust, earned her friendship back, she would. It would be work no doubt, the rift between the two of you is very large. You will get...
Simon reached out and took her hand, leading her over to the strawberry cart. They were bunched together, held in green mesh bags. For the price, the amount...
