The old rule still applies. During the time that's designated as theirs, together, there are to be no work-related distractions

"Mm." She takes it from him, takes a sip. "Mm."

[simon_doctor]

His smile broadens. "That sounds like approval."

[gonna_live]

"This might be your job from now on," she says, indicating the cup. "I'm just sayin'."

[simon_doctor]

Now he's grinning.

"Well, it's a very heavy responsibility, but I don't think I can argue."

And he takes a sip from his own mug.

Kaylee lets her head tilt back against the cushions, smiling. "We got anything we want to do besides sit around? -- not that I'm mindin' it."

[simon_doctor]

"Mm," he agrees, "at least a little sitting around would be really good."

He stretches his back slightly, and relaxes back into the cushions in turn.

Almost at random: "I've missed this couch."

[gonna_live]

"Me too." Happily. "And the naps."

[simon_doctor]

"Naps," he points out, "in addition to a full night's sleep, not instead of."

[gonna_live]

Kaylee eyes him. "You're not still on about that, are you?"

[simon_doctor]

"Mm? Oh, no."

Airily, as he takes another sip of cocoa.

"So do we want to do anything besides sit around?"

[gonna_live]

"Yeah," she says after a moment, "but you know, I can't think of what. And I'm gonna laugh if they all wind up bein' like this."

[simon_doctor]

"We could go out," he offers. "See what there is to do in town."

[gonna_live]

Lazy grin. "Yeah, but if we do, I'm gonna rope you into pickin' out stuff for the house."

[simon_doctor]

He ponders that for a moment.

"What kind of stuff?"

[gonna_live]

"Curtains."

[simon_doctor]

"Picking out curtains," he repeats, a little dreamily. "Very domestic."
