It's turning into a month for unexpected communications, apparently. A textwave from Dunash isn't that rare an event; however, a vidwave is.

Simon frowns, and opens it, and watches his friend's face resolve on the screen.

Today she decided to clean up in Milliways, after working on the ship in the garage. She comes in clean, with a bag in her hand, and she's not wearing what she was when she left.

Absent: "Hey, handsome." Kaylee crosses the room and goes for the laundry bag.

He's staring blankly at the comm, and doesn't look up for a moment.

It's not usual, that she doesn't get a response -- even an equally absent one, sometimes, but there always is one.

Kaylee looks up.

Simon is still.

She lets the bag drop to the floor and takes a few steps in his direction. "Simon?"

[simon_doctor]

At the sound of his name he looks up, and his face is still blank.

"Ai ren. It's, there's ..."

Beat.

"I got a wave from Dunash."
