[This was a very different type of ship than she was used to, but there's something incredibly exciting about waking up on the open sea. She can be found leaning over one of the railings and trying to get a better look at the city ruins on the shore ahead]

I couldn't possibly think of eating right now. I'll be fine, it'll pass. [Said in that determined, stubborn 'I'll make it pass' sort of tone.]

[ She was lost... well they were all lost, they were on a ship with no real clue of anything. So they had to look around to find something, right?

She'd moved around from where she'd woken to on deck, slowly wandering around the ship and looking out at different directions. She couldn't say she'd ever experienced anything like this before

And then she found Kaylee, leaning over to get a better view. And she worried, a little ]

Be careful not to fall over!

[onemanshort]

[a laugh as she looks back over her shoulder] I ain't gonna fall.

[walkinthruwalls]

That's okay, then. [ And she's making her way to the edge, poking her head over the side but not leaning over as far as Kaylee ]

[onemanshort]

It's kinda interestin', bein' on a ship like this...all open an the like. You wouldn't be able to look around as much, bein' on the kinds of ships I'm used to.

[walkinthruwalls]

Being on the waters pretty peaceful. What sort of ships are you used to?

[onemanshort]

I'm used to space ships...travelin' between planets. It ain't nothin' like this.

[walkinthruwalls]

Like The Doctor? [ TARDII, whee ] I think it would be fun to do that.

[onemanshort]

Shi. Though Serenity ain't like the TARDIS. She ain't able to travel through time...and if she were anywhere near as fancy, I wouldn't be much use at fixin' her.

[automatically defensive] Not that there's nothin' wrong with her. She's the best ship in the skies, parts we're from.

[walkinthruwalls]

Even the best things still need fixing if something happens, like if another ship attacks.

What's space like?

[onemanshort]

Well, we'd need fixin' after that, sure enough. But mostly it was just the wear and tear of travelin' so much that'd break her down, if you weren't careful.

Space? Space is huge. Huger 'n huge, really, stretchin' out further than we've got the know-how to explore. And beautiful. There ain't nothin' like lookin' out a window and seein' nothin' but stars, far as you can look. It's a whole sea of stars, with you just floatin' in the black, in between.

[walkinthruwalls]

I guess anything would break after so long, though if it didn't you wouldn't have a job.

It'd be nice to see, though I think the highest I'll ever get is in a jet. It sounds nice.

[onemanshort]

If the castle's gonna keep sendin' us places like this, maybe you'll get a chance.

[walkinthruwalls]

That sounds nice, though I won't wish for it - knowing this place it might not be that great... or safe.

[onemanshort]

I s'pose not. Still...can't say I wouldn't be beyond excited, iffn' it chose to give space a go.
