Well, it seems that Simon's found a way out of here. I've looked for him since I noticed he wasn't around here that often, and I've yet to find him. I know he wouldn't have left River here for too long without at least checking on her.

River. Are you alright, dear?

Haven't found River either though I looked about. Girl's probably holed herself up in some nook of the boat. Have to check again, see how she's holdin' up.

[no_whore]

I've looked for her, too. No luck.

She's far too good at hiding out.

[bad_in_thelatin]

Exactly what has me a bit worried. Reckon we'll only find her when she wants to be found. If she wants to be found in the first place, that is.

[no_whore]

... that isn't acceptable. We need to find her.

[bad_in_thelatin]

I know, Inara. Believe me, I do. But what we want or need and what takes place are rarely the same. Still, I'm fairly certain River hasn't left the boat. And there're only so many places where she could be, genius or no.

You best not snap at me, Malcom Reyonlds. I've been worried for days and haven't slept well because of it.

No, I doubt she's gone too far.

[bad_in_thelatin]

Hey, calm now. Sorry, I didn't mean to be grouchy. We'll find her, Inara, I promise. Even if we have to tear bits of the boat down while lookin'.

You've probably already checked Simon's quarters and places he spent most time in?

[no_whore]

You're always grouchy.

Yes. Several times, actually. I sat up in his quarters last night thinking she'd at least come by.

[ooc: Mal will be having bad days soon. >>]

[bad_in_thelatin]

Am not. I do have better days too, you know.

Figured so. Alright, doubtful she'll come anywhere near the infirmary... I'll check the bridge one more time, just in case.

...Be sure to catch some rest yourself too, difficult as it may be right now.

[ooc: Once again, huh? That shouldn't be news to him, really. :/ I'm going home from work now, will reply in about an hour!]

[no_whore]

Right.

.... I'll do what I can.

[ooc: Boo! Does that mean he won't go after her? Hey, she won't die this time?]

[bad_in_thelatin]

Let's save that argument for later.

....Hey. You okay? Now I know my grasp of the workings of the female mind might not be what you'd call keen, but you seem a mite... off?

[ooc: Oh, he'll come around! Eventually, at least. You know how he has his dense-as-a-wooden-duck moments here and there.]

[no_whore]

I wasn't planning on keeping that part of the convorsation going.

I'm worried about River.

[bad_in_thelatin]

We'd probably never agree on that one, anyhow.

You and me both, darling. Sure it's just worry and tiredness that has you so blue-ish?

[no_whore]

More than likely not.

Yes. I'm actually fine other than that.

[bad_in_thelatin]

Alright. Tell ya what... why don't I come over and we'll go look for our missin' prodigy together? Four eyes are better than two, after all. What'd you say? I'll keep you awake with my witty repartee.

[no_whore]

Your repartee is witty?

If you wish to spend time with me, Mal, all you need do is ask.

The help would be appreciated, though. Thank you.
