*Mal pushed his way into engine room, blinking when he stepped in. He had heard Kaylee was having a fit, hence why he had stayed clear away, but when they said a fit...he never pictured this. He frowned, stepping caustiously towars the hammock where his mechanic was curled up* Kaylee...?

*Kaylee glanced up when she heard the captain call out her voice. She was curled up on her hammock, having abandoned what modifications she was trying to do to the Condensor coil. It was giving her problems, making the ride not as smooth. Her tools were sprawled out through the engine room, like she didn't even care enough to put them away.
She got like this when she couldn't fix something. It always upset her, like she was letting someone down. Letting the Cap'n down.
Ofcourse she had alot of other things on her mind, and they were seriously bringing her mood down more. She shifted, sitting up to face Mal* Yeah?

*Mal tiilted his head at the state of his engine room. Kaylee usually took pride in this part of the ship...kept it nice and tidy. Usually barked if you simply put something in the wrong spot. It was really her area, more so then her bunk.
Which she's rarely been in lately, a voice in the back of his head noticed. He shook the thought away. He knew that time would come...the Doctor and her. He just felt a wee bit more protective over her then the others, and the thought that she was spending most nights in Simon Tam's bunk instead of her own just made him shudder.
He didn't like knowing such things. He would much rather been left in the dark.
He took in a breath, before crossing his arms* It's a mess in here...

I know *She stood immediatly, moving to gather her tools. Her orange jumpsuit was covered in grease, smudges all over her face.*
I was trying to get the Condensor coil to stop rattlin'...*She glanced over her shoulder, giving him a look* Would have been nice to get a new one...when I told you it needed replaced *She snapped a bit. It was rare she got lippy with Malcolm...but well, she dind't care much right now*

*He blinked. Kaylee was givin' him lip? On his ship? And it was Kaylee that was doing it? Not Jayne? Well...the 'verse had just turned on it's head, because that was a shock.
He cleared his throat, lettin' it pass* We don't always get what we want, Kaylee

Yet you want your boat to keep flyin'. Interesting *She shook her head, her arms now full of tools. She moved over to the tool box, dropping them in, kicking the lid shut.*
I'll just put more putty on it...pray it lasts another week. *She turned on her heel, glaring towards Mal* Is there somethin' you need Cap'n?

*He sighed. He wasn't going to get out of a fight, even when he was trying to avoid one. He didnt' even bother to answer her question, instead asking his own*
You have somethin' you'd like to say, Kaylee?

*She watched Mal for a moment, trying to keep her shields up, and her bitterness alive. It didn't work. She glanced to her feet, shaking her head*
No. Just...frustrated, Cap. I can't get the peice of Go-Se to work right...and what with...*She stopped herself. She didn't want to talk about that with Mal. It had taken her a while just to discuss it with Inara*

With What? *He raised an eyebrow. He took in another breath* You know Kaylee...you can tell me if something's wrong. If anythings wrong *He hoped he had earned her trust...he was fairly certain he had...and long ago*

*She took in a breath* Just have a lot on my mind. Got a wave a few days back...Daddy's in the hospital. *She glanced up at him* You probably don't care to hear about it...sorry *She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking at anything but Mal*

Bao Bei...*He whispered, moving towards her. He reached out, his hand coming underneath her chin, forcing her head up to look at him. His eyes met hers, tenderness in them that was rare, a priveledge really* Ofcourse I care...
*He gave her a smile, before moving his hand from her, folding his arms again, standing directly infront of her* How bad is he?

*She was surprised at how affectionate Mal was being. She gulped, her voice getting caught in her throat. She shut her eyes* Bad...he's gettin' old. Even if he does pull through...he'll probably loose the farm. No one's there to run it...not since my cousin got married and moved to the next moon.

I'm sorry to hear that Kaylee...*He sighed, glancing to the floor. And there was a long silence, one of them uncomfortable ones. After a few minutes had past he cleared his throat, looking back to her* Well...were gonna be headin' out soon. You might wanna go change...
