Mal was quiet as stared down at River. "Lot of fuss for a trial. I'm wagering kill us one by one." He said looking over at the doc. "Pick her up, let's get her...
River was like a deadweight in his arms, and he resisted the urge to check her vitals. She was breathing, though unconcious. She would be for a while, but when...
"I'm fine," she said. "But do you think that's wise? What if you or someone else needs to escape?" Inara asked, not meaning to challenge his authority. But...
"The Captain's right." Simon said suddenlly, breaking his silence as he looked at Inara and Kaylee. "River may come after you both and I wouldn't want..." he...
There was no way she was going to leave the ship knowing Mal or the others might be in danger. If he ordered her to she would have little choice, but she...
... others might be in danger. If he ordered her to she would have little choice, but she hated the idea of it, leaving him behind. Her eyes sought Kaylee's,...
Simon heard the mechanics outburst, but only blinked in responce. As the Captain pulled Inara aside, Simon frowned as he looked at Kaylee. "I don't want her...
Kaylee put her hand on Simon's arm. "now you know how I feel about you." She said quietly as she moved closer to him. For the moment, the presence of the...
... feelings for her. Things would be too complicated and they didn't have times for complications. "Just do as I ask Inara." His tone was almost begging. ...
"I'm not leaving my sister!" Simon said and if he had the energy the tone would have sounded completely shocked, but it was worn and tired. He knew that wasn't...
Mal gave a slight grin as he tilted his head to the side. "That's what makes interestin'." He replied as he continued the look their locked eyes shared....
Kaylee was speechless as she stared up into his eyes. Simon's hand was warm against her face. "What if she kills you? Or hurts you?" Her voice was full of...
And there was the question he hadn't though to ask himself. Would River hurt him if she had the chance? "S-she wont." he said, "She had so many chances just...
There was no way she would just take off and leave him, any of them. At least not without knowing they were all right. "We'll get the food," she said, as...
Mal nodded as he broke his gaze from Inara's eyes. "Simon…." He called turning away from Inara, not before he met her eyes once more. She won't. That is all...
Simon almost didn't hear the captain speak as he watched Kaylee, and as he stepped back, he heard the captain speak to him again, and his eyes broke from ...
"Or she could be awake in one." Mal reminded him regarding River's unstable disposition. "So what did they do this time?" Mal asked as he put his hand to his ...
"According to what she said to me...she's already taken the shining to killing us all." Simon said, his eyes not leaving his sister. "She's secure. For now."...
Wash heard his name over the intercomm and rushed to the bridge. Since he had abandoned his post he honestly had no idea where Jayne was at this particular...
... secure. For ... Simon shook his ... the real ... don't know ... "Well how bout you say I'll fine out for sure." Mal replied as he moved his hand from his...
Inara looked at Kaylee as Simon and Mal proceeded to talk. "I guess we should go to the kitchen and see to those supplies," she said, her tone betraying the...
"I don't want Jayne near her." Simon said sharply, frowning as he looked over at the Captain. "Make no mistake, Captain, the thought of him getting what's ...
"Again, I'm not asking." Mal said with deadly seriousness as he looked over to Simon. "Your concerns are noted, but this isn't up for discussion and it would...
Simon glared at the Captain for the longest time, but in the back of his brain, he knew the Captain was right. However, Simon may not have been the captain of...
Mal just nodded slightly. "Well, I guess you better be narrowing that list down a bit." He said as he turned to leave the sick bay once more. "You are the...
Wash heard the Captian's exasperated shout over the comm and was quick to answer. no sense in angering him more. "No sir, he hasn't reponded yet. But I'll...
"I remember, Captain," Inara said, a hint of haughtiness in her voice. He was concerned for her, she took pride in that for some reason even though she knew...
Kaylee sighed and gave a slight shrug. "It's ok.." She said softly and then met Inara's eyes. "Well, not ok, but you know what I mean. I just hate feeling...
Just to let y'all know, I plan on waking up River at some point soon. Possibly Monday or so, real time. I just don't wanna jump in too soon, and all, but just...
Wash heard the Captain's exasperated shout over the comm and was quick to answer. no sense in angering him more. "No sir, he hasn't reponded yet. But I'll...
