It was only a few days after the encounter at Blackstone, but already Kaylee had grown restless. She had gotten enough privacy when time caught up with her the next day, if only because she locked herself in her room with the excuse that she was still trying to sleep off her adventure into the fire. Jayne wasn’t always the smartest person in the ‘verse. Explaining some things to him... Well, it was easier to just lie sometimes.
After taking the time to convince herself to get out of the hotel room, and even more time to convince Jayne, Kaylee finally stepped into the crisp, fresh air outside the Hard Rock’s lobby. She was still coughing, and probably would be for some time, but being out of the stuffy air of her room seemed to be helping already. It was just a small walk, she had told him. A quick walk around the block, maybe, just enough to get the air circulating again. Even on Serenity they needed it, and she was a lot bigger than a hotel room.
“Don’t look so grumpy,” she teased Jayne, stepping out onto the sidewalk. “Let’s enjoy it while we can, ‘fore she recovers and starts plannin’ her come back.”
