*Kaylee walked from the ship at a fast pace, her hands stuffed in her pant pockets. She was wearing her favorite pair, dark brown with a bear patch on one of the deeper pockets near her knee. She had a pink and blue shirt on, and some of her hair was collected into a ponytail.
She hadn't waited for Simon, like she usually did when they had planet leave. No, she had been one of the first off the ship. As soon as the door went down, she was out. She felt like she couldn't breath and she needed to be out in the open. She also wanted time alone, time to think...figure things out. Get her emotions in check. She knew she wasn't being herself, wasn't treating the people she loved fair, wasn't letting them in.
But she didn't know what else to do.
She glanced towards the street vendors, sighing as she walked, kicking at the dust on the ground*

Simon had just arrived in the cargo bay when he saw Kaylee dash out of the ship. She was walking about aas fast as she could, practically running. He ran past Zoe and Wash and stepped outside, looking around for her. He turned to the left and saw her walking towards the vendor's stalls, her hands buried in her pockets, so he knew she was deep in thought.
He took off running after her. He wanted to get to the bottom of whatever was making her this upset. He wanted to talk to her at least.
He stopped running a few feet behind her, bent over wheezing. "Kaylee.." he managed, hands on his knees. "What's...wrong?"

*She stopped, hearing her name. She turned her head, glancing over her shoulder to look at Simon. She hadn't even noticed, but at some point on her dash away from Serenity, tears had begun to roll down her cheeks. It wasn't until that moment that it even dawned on her.
And she began scolding herself for it. She wiped her eyes with that back of her hand, before finally glancing to Simon again.*
Nothing Simon...*She frowned as she watched him try to catch his breath, and she felt a slight ping of guilt for it.*

As Simon caught his breath, he stood up to his full height. He watched as she wiped away the tears from her eyes and felt a pang of sympathy. He wanted to hold her and comfort her, let her know it was all going to be okay.
But he didn't. Simon felt bad for her, but he also wanted to know why he was being kept in the dark about this.
He moved a bit closer to her. "Why are you avoiding me bao-bei? Is it something I did or didn't do? Or is it something else?"

*She opened her mouth to argue, say she wasn't avoiding him. But almost immediatly, she realised it would simply be lying to him, so she didn't say it. She glanced down to the ground, sighing a bit. Her hands shifted back to her pockets, and finally she glanced back to him*
It's not you Simon...what would you have done? *She asked, her voice small as she did. He had been nothing but caring to her, he hadn't done anything wrong*

It's not you Simon...what would you have done?
"Well, if it's not me, then what is it? What's bothering you, Kaylee? Why won't you talk to me about it? You've been keeping me in the dark for some time now and I don't want you to keep whatever it is from me anymore."

*She shifted her gaze back to the ground, sighing more*
My papa is sick...*And it was killing her that she was out in the black, not by his side, not helping him. She couldn't even get a wave through.* And...I've been worried. And I know it isn't fair of me to push you away because of it, and I'm sorry...

Simon groaned inwardly at her words, regretting having gotten so annoyed with her. He moved beside her, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
"Why didn't you tell me, Kaylee?" he asked, a small amount of hurt apparent in his voice. He wanted to be there for her, but sometimes she could make it difficult.

*She glanced up to him, smiling a bit. She exhaled, not really sure how to answer* You have so much to worry about...what with River...I didn't want to add more to it
*She knew that wasn't the best answer, but it was the truth*

Simon pulled her to him and kissed her hard on the mouth.
"I have River to worry about, yes," he began after he broke the kiss. "But, she's getting better every day and, as she now so frequently likes to point out, she's growing up, is almost a woman and can take care of herself. You, well, you're my bao bei and I like taking care of you. I like worrying about you and trying to make things right." He smiled at her. "So don't worry, Kaylee." He placed and arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead. "I don't mind."

*She almost jumped when he pulled her. It had been awhile since he had kissed her like that, mostly because she hadn't been around him to recieve such a kiss, but now she welcomed it. She allowed it to comfort her, and she returned the passion, her hands resting on his chest as she leaned into the kiss. When they parted, she had a content smile on her face, one she hadn't had much the past few days*
Almost a woman? Simon, sweetie, she's nearly twenty years old...I think it's sfe to say she is one *She smiled, leaning against him, her smile growing as he kissed her forehead. She wrapped her arm around his waist, standing on the tips of her toes to kiss his cheek* Would you like to go shopping with me, Mr.Tam? *She asked in a cheeky tone, a grin on her face*

Simon nodded. "I know, I know. But I still see her as the fourteen year old she was before she went off to the Academy."
He smiled when she kissed him on the cheek, noting the cheekiness in her tone. "I would at that, Ms. Frye. And a few other things besides. But, for now, the shopping will have to do," he ended that in a mock haughty tone, one reserved especially to make her laugh.

I'm pretty sure you always will Simon. *She nodded*
*She couldn't help but blush a bit, nudging him with her shoulder* Your bad...*She whispered, before reaching down to take his hand, squeezing it with her own* Well...if we get a move on, we could always head back to the ship early. *Her tone shifted, to a lower one, so that others passing wouldn't hear as well, and she gave him a wicked grin*

Simon grinned naughtily at her, winking a bit. "That's a tempting offer," he said, moving his face close to hers, kissing her on the nose. "I shall consider it while we're shopping and eating lunch."

*She giggled a little, shaking her head at him* I'm sure you'll put alot of thought into it... *She smiled a bit more, before reaching out to take hold of his hand* Where do you want to eat?
