Day 23: Game Room, Evening Shift.

Apr 14, 2007 10:48

Fayt had been doing.. something. For some time, apparently, as he came in during the children shower scenes. Being over the age (yes, despite how he looked), he wasn’t sent there, meaning he had three options. Music Room. Game Room, and Sun Room ( Read more... )

The Game Room.

This was where Kaylee had gotten so mad at Simon yesterday, where she'd met...Jack. Jack. She couldn't really think of him as anything other than Jack. How was he? Where was he? And how much of yesterday...and last night...had been an act?

The mechanic had meant to ask Inara about it, but didn't know how to approach the subject. Inara was the best judge of men that Kaylee knew (she was trained to be, after all), but she didn't feel quite comfortable admitting what she had done last night. And it wasn't the sex, either. Kaylee liked to detail her exploits to all that would listen (and usually that was limited to the various moving parts of the engine room and sometimes Jayne)...she was extremely comfortable with her body and open about her sexuality. It was who she'd done it with. It still felt so...intensely private. Only that kid, Adelheid, knew right now, and she wanted to keep it that way for the time being.

Kaylee decided that when she did finally feel like telling someone, the Companion would be ( ... )

Valyn wasn't sure what to think. He'd showered, had two meals, and knew absolutely no more than he had earlier. He found himself wandering a bit, when allowed a choice of where to go. He was growing tired of the Sun Room - ancestors, he was already getting far too used to this place! The Game Room was foriegn and confusing, as he had never been much for games - cards and dice and knuckles were what most young lords enjoyed - but it was better than nothing.

No one familiar, save for the man from breakfast. Who was speaking with someone. Valyn found himself sinking gracefully into a seat near a human woman, his mind caught up in thoughts of this place and worrying over Shadow. Though none reached his face - his expression was calm and mild, as always.

Kaylee had been so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she barely noticed the young man sitting down near her. He had the eerie, almost inhuman beauty of some the other people that she'd seen here, especially those with the odd-colored hair. She wondered why that was.

Well, it wouldn't do to be so caught up in what had already happened, not when there were new people to meet! She always liked hearing new stories. Plus, he looked like he could use some cheering up.

"Hey there."

Valyn simply nodded in the woman's direction, polite and an automatic reaction from years of training.

"My lady." She wasn't an elven woman, but there was no need not to be polite. He didn't think to ask her anything, his views on women being the same as they had been for years. He didn't mean it, it was simply how he was raised. And despite evidence to the contrary - Shana was far more capable than most men Valyn knew - he couldn't help but classify women as weaker and less useful than men.

The women Valyn knew fell into two categories. Concubines and Elven ladies.

"My...lady...?"

Kaylee stared at the young man for a few moments before bursting out into laughter, but it wasn't mean-spirited. She was just honestly surprised that he had mistaken her, of all people, for some sort of high-born lady. It was kind of nice, actually. Made her feel special.

"Sorry! Didn't mean to laugh, but I ain't exactly a lady." The mechanic held out her hand. "I'm Kaylee."

Oh. Well. Valyn really wasn't sure how to deal with women. Certainly not when they laughed at him. At least on the level this woman seemed to be putting herself on - he was used to being giggled at, coyly. He knew enough not to treat her as he would a concubine, though, so there was only one other default.

He took her hand and kissed the back of it, bowing over the limb as he would an elven lady's. What would his father think, to see this? Bowing over a human girl as though she were a noble born elven woman.

"Valyn," he said, offering his own name.
