You have carrots? *She shifted, crossing her arms*
Or better yet, can we get carrots? Because I like home cooked food....doesn't happen often. But I want me some cooked carrots...*She licked her lips* Mmm....

Jayne thought for a moment and said, "Think we do. An' if we don't have any now, Zoe and Wash'll be comin' back with some foodstuffs. That is if they're not ..." he trailed off at that, remembering he was in the prescence of three "kids".

"Well that's something I think," Mikey said, crossing her arms. She nodded to Murray. "I think we can swing dinner here instead of Da Marco's."
'It'll be free in any case,' she thought. And it would give her a chance to learn more about her father and meet the people he spent all of his time with.
"I'm for it."

Lex shrugged his shoulders. All he really wanted at this point was some rice and something to wash it down with.
"Sounds good," he said, rubbing his stomach. "I'm starving now. And before you say anything Mikey or Murray, yes, I know I'm always starving."

*She nodded with a smile* Sounds good to me *She stook her hands into her pockets before glancing back to the ship*

"Alright, now that we've all come to an agreement, let's go eat," Jayne said turning and walking back into the ship, keeping an eye on the kids behind him. He trusted Michelle and Murray but wasn't so sure about Lex. It wouldn't do for Mal to come back and find something stolen. Jayne wasn't too keen on the idea of getting spaced for some punk kid. Especially when it would be hard enough to explain his daughter's prescence on the ship in the first place.
The sight that met his eyes when he came into the dining room didn't look too much out of the ordinary. That is, until he looked a second time. Kaylee and Simon were sitting at the table. The doc had an ice pack against his jaw, which was noticeably swollen and Kaylee was running her hand through his hair.
Jayne thought they had had a fight at first and that Kaylee had decked him, but figured that the doc would be pushing her away or be alone if that were the case.
"What in ruttin' hell's goin' on?" he asked.

*Kaylee sat close to Simon, a worried look on her face. She really didn't know what to say to him that could be comforting...she was still shocked by what Simon had told her. She had never really imagined River would strike him...and even if she would, never hard enough to leave a bruise like the one she left.
She sighed, leaning forward to press a kiss to Simon's forehead, giving him a small, caring smile. Then she turned, glancing over her shoulder to Jayne, frowning a little* I think the general assumption is River isn't happy...
*She glanced past Jayne and instantly a grin grew* Oh you brought the kids! *She dropped her hand from Simon's hair, setting it on his knee instead* Hello! *She waved with her free hand to the three*

Simon held the ice pack closer to his cheek, savoring the feeling of cold it brought, combined with Kaylee's attentions.
"It would seem she is unhappy," he said, frowning more. He couldn't understand what could've caused her relapse. And more than that, what caused her to be that violent with him. And especially that hard.
At Jayne's approach he sighed a bit. "You're not allowed to say a word, Jayne. Not one word in mocking, or so help me, I will make sure you need an ice pack as well."
"Kids?" he asked, confused for a moment but then the past events outside the ship came back to him. "Oh right. Your daughter."

Jayne raised an eyebrow and put the pieces together. River hit Simon. Hit him hard. Under normal circumstances, he would've laughed. Long and hard at the other man, but given Simon's threat a moment ago and the fact that River had been mighty angry the last time he had seen her, he knew this was no laughing matter.
"D'we know where she is?" he asked, leaning forward and placing his hands on the table.

I saw her rush past earlier...when I was comin' out of my bunk. Think she's in hers...or...*She stopped herself, glancing away* Possibly the Shepherd's old room...
*It wouldn't have been a first. Week after all the events of Miranda had ended, they found her lying on his bed, curled in a ball, huggin' his bible close...like it was the only thing she could latch on to anymore of the man* Not sure which...

Simon nodded, wincing a bit at the pain in his jaw. "I'd try Shepherd Book's room first. She seems to prefer it over her own."
"What are you going to do, Jayne?" he asked, looking the man in the eyes.

"I'm gonna try an' calm her down, is what I'm gonna do," he said, standing up. "'m not gonna hurt her, so don't worry 'bout that, Doc."
He turned to the kids and said, "Sorry, but I have to take care of somethin' right now. You need anythin', ask Kaylee or Simon. Don't go anywhere without one of them, dong ma?"
Without waiting for an answer, he left the room, beginning his search for River.

Mikey watched the exchange between the three adults wordlessly. She just nodded at her father's words to her and her friends before he ran from the room.
"What happened?" she asked, unsure if it was her place to know.

Oh nothing. Don't you worry 'bout it *She stood from her chair, abandoning Simon, before moving towards the three* You lads hungry? Don't have much right now...Wash and Zoe will be bringin' back some stuff when they get back...but we have rice. Like rice? *She asked in a cheery tone*

Mikey grinned and said, "You read my mind." She already liked Kaylee, even though they had only just now formally talked.
She turned to Lex and Murray. "Rice is alright for you two right?"
