Mal was more playing with his bristle brushes than actually cleaning anything, so the excuse for movement is welcome even if he doesn't know where it will lead besides the Milliways garage. He nods and stands, covering the disassembled firearms with a spare cloth and wiping his hands on his pants.
It's a pretty quiet walk over. They're descending into the garage when she says, finally, "We're close to being packed up. And I guess -- "
Pause.
"If it's convenient." Painstakingly. Kaylee's got her hands in her pockets and her gaze straight ahead. "Can we see about swingin' over Praxed way? Or at least by a station? Simon's got all the information and whatnot about when he's got to be places."
"Alright." The focus on the topic smooths out somewhat across Mal's features. They're not out the door just yet. "Just tell Simon to let me know if I'm foiling his plans."
Now -- finally -- Kaylee looks up, if only to give Mal a wry look. "Right, 'cause he didn't already have one on account of bein' a big-shot pirate and all."

Unless you just want us gone, she mentally finishes. No point in saying it aloud.

Without looking up: "What're you gonna do with her?"

"Don't know." Simple and easy. "No way to send her back even if that were a choice o' mine; can't see a reason to come to our 'verse."

"Will you let me know? When you decide?"

You worked on her too.
"Do you have any ideas on what should happen with her? I don't know many other space-living folk here who could use her."

"Maybe -- ask Henry Wellard? Or Captain Jack?"

"Ain't rightly sure I would trust Captain Sparrow with something that could fly over entire oceans in minutes. Might give 'im a big head."

Because sitting in the Milliways garage is safe, but not useful.
"I'll talk to 'im."

"She's pretty much done, you know. It's just calibration from here out. You could fly her no problem right now."
