"What happened?" Kaylee asked gently as she looked into Simon's confused eyes. "Sometimes there ain't things that folks gotta say, they just gotta be there."...
"I-I can't let her find out..." Simon felt her hand on his cheek, and for a moment, his eyes closed as he leaned into her hand. "She can't know what happened...
"Knowing River, she probably already knows." Kaylee replied gently. "Just don't talk about it right now, be happpy, she is back." Pausing, she remembered what...
A frown spread on his face as he took in what Kaylee said. It was true. River seemed to have always known what he was thinking, even before he thought of ...
Kaylee gave a sad smile as she moved closer to Simon and adjusted his collar carefully. 'It will be ok." She said with hope in her voice. "You'll see. Things...
Though he wanted to believe her, Simon wondered how shiny things could ever get again, after what happened. He felt his eyes close as she grazed his temple....
"Shepherd has gone to get your brother," Inara said, hoping that would mean something to the poor girl. She was not sure what she was trying to tell her and ...
River nodded solemnly. Things had been put into motion again. Things were starting. Already, and not soon enough, both at the same time. The conflict made...
... could ever ... grazed his ... much, I just want ... Kaylee nodded as she stroked his temple. "It will. You are back together again. That is what matters."...
Trying to take some sort of solace in Kaylee's words, Simon silently placed his hand in hers. His stomach was twisting and turning, with nervousness. Not of...
"I will be glad to have her around here. I missed her." Kaylee assured him as they stepped out of his room. She was nervous for him, but tried not to show it. ...
As they walked, Simon fell silent again as thoughts swarmed in his brain. How would she be when they met again? Would she be just as broken as she had left as?...
River looked up, and had to force a smile at Simon. "You're here," she said, slight annoyance in her voice. She wasn't sure she was ready. Or, in fact, the...
Simon watched her, and for a moment, tilted his head as he heard a change in her voice. He stared at her, eyes studying her to try to find something, anything....
"I didn't mean here on the ship. I mean in Inara's shuttle." She stood up, wondering if he'd come close to her. Try to hug her, maybe. She felt slightly...
Please excuse my absence but I've had some personal and health issues come up that are going to be taking me away from the RPGs for a bit of time. I'm hoping...
"That's good....." Kaylee spoke up smiling to see River. "It's good that you aren't hurt." There was a lot of tension in the room, Kaylee thought for a moment...
River couldn't help but frown. She was, after all, not hurt. Wouldn't that imply that she was alright? She finally nodded. "I'm fine," she said softly,...
Susan, That's fine. Just focus on getting better, and if there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll temp Inara, although I've never played her so I don't...

Mal tilted his head as Jayne spoke, he kept his comment to himself as he headed towards the back. “More confusin’? That ain’t something I like to hear....

"That's good," River said slowly, turning to study Kaylee. The Companion didn't have anything good, not for stabbing. Or impaling. Inara frowned, and turned...
Kaylee's mouth dropped open slightly as her brow knitted in confusion. Meeting Inara's eyes she could see that she was confused a little as well, but she hid...
River shook her head. "No. We stay together," she said softly. She looked at the floor. She was... aggravated, at the way things were going, and that was...
Mal tilted his head as Jayne spoke, he kept his comment to himself as he headed towards the back. “More confusin’? That ain’t something I like to hear....
Simon hadn't noticed that he had stayed completely silent, nor had he stopped studying River. Her words hit his ears, and his eyes widened, though lightly. ...
"Simon? Simon!" Kaylee called as Simon left the shuttle and went into the Infirmary. He was sick. "Simon?" Coming up behind him, she didn't know what had set...
River's noticed someone staring at her, and looked up. It was Simon. Her eyes got cold as he left the room. It wouldn't do to have them all seperate - it...
