Somehow there is a girl sitting perfect onto of one of the crates, no toes hanging over, no pieces of fabric. She's managed to curl up holding her knees to her chest watching the others as they move about and talk. River remains quiet though listening and trying to block things out.

To many things in her head as students let emotions run rampant on what they could be doing here. Resting her chin on her knees she seems to almost frown. Hopefully class would start soon.

Bones was leaning against River's crate with a frown, one hand draped almost unthinkingly on her shoulder. He didn't want to be here. Didn't want to have to do this. Knew exactly what could happen if things went wrong...

For a moment as he stared at the controls of the vacuum, images of twisted metal stained red, ruined flesh, and the acid scent of burning fuel and flesh. He shuddered and shook his head.

This wasn't a ship. This was a highly controlled room that had only one reported malfunction. He knew. He'd checked.

Turning her eyes up toward Len, the younger girl gave a brief flash of a mischievous grin. There had only been two time River had ever been out in space while on Serenity and both times she had loved it. Space was like dancing- so graceful were the movements that the thoughts of think metal and material keeping you from dying fast never seemed to enter into her mind. It was like water, like having the pointe shoes on and moving in patterns like a feather in the air. Even if McCoy wasn't going to enjoy it she was.

"Can't get hurt here," she said to him picking up on his thoughts and feelings. "No red, no twisted parts. That's for Reavers and Reavers aren't here. This is serenity."

That was still slightly un-nerving the way she could do that. Read him like he was a book for her to open and close at will. It wasn't a bad thing....but for a man who had spent his life closed off from everyone, it was something that took some getting used to. Peering over at her, he rolled his eyes and frowned.

"Reavers didn't bring that shuttle down, kid, a popped bolt did. Something so minor...." He felt his stomach lurch, and swallowed reflexively.

The look that crossed her face was much like the expression in the icon. She smirked up at him giving him a 'pfft please' look before letting that smile cross her face. "You worry to much," the younger girl said softly while trying not to giggle. He worried more than he might know he did. "It's safe. The captain will make sure it's safe."

Reaching up she patted the older man's hand comfortingly. Len was going to be much like Simon, she feared, and take a lot of looking after.

That expression was almost as commen as Len's own eyerolls...but that made sence considering that Len generally answered hers with his own. But he added a smirk to his and shifted so that he was leaning a bit more comfortably against that crate.

"You would know wouldn't you? What happened to not being able to see past my masks?" He was teasing her, but in truth he was kind of curious about that. If he remembered right, she hadn't been able to read him so easily back at the pond.

What had changed? Maybe it Len's acceptance and protectivness of her. That might make sense.

Everyone wore masks. The more you were around someone the easier it was to pick what they meant out. Len was becoming very much like her shadow or she his. It was a very common sight during the days to see the two together when they didn't share the same classes or him working at the on campus clinic. Something about it was natural and just fit.

Tilting her head slightly toward and up, River took the chance to study him. "They are there," she replied softly hoping noone else would over hear. "Waiting, watching. Easier to see when you know the Act and Scene."
