Penny beams. "We can make anythin' m'baby girl wants."
Simon's sigh is one of fond exasperation, as he nods in agreement. "Yes, Mal is always getting himself hurt. I think I'd die of shock if he ever came back from a job without needing a doctor."
Kaylee kisses her mom's cheek. "How about dumplin's? Always missed my Momma's dumplin's."
Another chuckle from the older man. "Well, that's Malcolm Reynolds for ya. Ain't t' worried about himself less his crew is safe. Why I let lit'Kaylee work for 'im. Takes right good care of 'er. And a father needs t'know that his baby girl bein' taken care of."
"Dumplin's for my girl it is, then,. Fetch me the bowl and get out the fixin's."

Oh, Simon gets the hint, all right. "You have nothing to fear, Lee. Kaylee is part of a crew who loves her dearly," he says. "And I would do nothing less for Kaylee than I did for my own sister."
Kaylee gives Simon a slight smile, still trying to figure out the whole smirk and wink thing.
Though soon, Lee is ushering Simon out of the kitchen with the bags to show him where to put them and where to wash up. Even though, Simon didn't need it.....
Penny turns to her daughter and smiles. "I can handle it from here, lovey. Your ol'room s'all fixed up for ya. You run off and wash that flour off your face."
Simon follows Lee and once his and Kaylee's bags are stashed in the right rooms, he washes up and changes into something less formal, yet very much Simon-esque.
She kisses her mom's cheek. "Thanks, Momma. I'll be right back t'help though." And then she is skipping off.
It's a small house so the guest room is right across from Kaylee's old room. She looks at the closed door for a moment as if considering something. A soft sigh and she turns into her own room and closes the door to wash up and change.
Lee was done and back in the kitchen in his usual record time. He smiles at his wife and then starts to set the table.
Penny beams at her husband. She pats his cheek. "Gimmie a hand finishin' this up," she says, motioning towards the rest of dinner. "Kids'll be back soon."
Simon cups Kaylee's face and kisses her chastely. "I think we've given them enough time," he says softly. He lets his touch linger before he takes her hand and leads her back to her parents.
"Alright, luv." he says turning to the dinner and helping her finish up.
Kaylee beams at Simon after the kiss, thinking that she was simply burst from the love she felt for him. She wraps her fingers around his hand and lets him lead her back to the kitchen. When they enter, Kaylee closes her eyes and breathes through her nose. "Oh, Momma! It smells so yummy!" she says brightly as her eyes open again.
Oh, Kaylee. Silly girl, you should know better by now.
Simon's gaze is drawn to his Lady, and the look he gives her is absolutely adoring. "Not to mention none of the other ships had such a pretty girl barking for passengers."
Penny smile and sighs happily, looking up at her husband. The look she gives him says yep, you were right. He loves her...
Kaylee's face brightens with a smile and looks up at Simon. Her face just glowing with love.
Lee chuckles softly and looks at his wife and matches her smile. Maybe, he'll let them sleep in the same room................................................nah.
Simon takes the orders in the good nature in which they're given, not minding in the least. And soon, between the two, dinner is cleared away and the kitchen is spotless.
Penny stands and admires the work. "No'bad fer a city boy."
Simon's grateful that Kaylee didn't mention his neat-freak tendency at this point. Hell, meticulous infirmary - when Jayne wasn't trashing it - meticulous room and spotless clothing...
Yep. Neat-freak.
"I'm glad I could help," he says simply.
Penny just gives him a look that suggests he's going to be helping an aweful lot in the kitchen while he's here.

Lee frowns. "Mal gettin' hurt again. Lit'Kaylee says his always gettin' himself hurt." A shrug. "Guess that's why he needs a Doc." He chuckles.

"Well, th'boy seems nice enough," she comments to her huband, absently.
Simon, knowing that mom and dad need a moment or two to have a quick meeting about first impressions, takes a moment to settle into his room.

Kaylee's eyes fall. Yeah, the complaint on Serenity was nice, but it wasn't really the answer she was hoping for out of Simon....
