Added to that Kaylee arched a brow, looking at him for just a moment as if he was a little mad as he went on. “Forward? Simon-.” She almost went to scold him for thinking she minded such, maybe she should be relieved he was actually that clueless. But she let it go with a sigh. A fond sort of one. Beaumonde being distant, well it meant more happened than she could remember, but obviously she'd been there. “It is? ..How-” For a second time she cut herself off, this time with a dismissive sort of swipe with both hands. "Don't know how it works. Gettin' here when you ain't vanished back home." things not making sense was just something you got used to around here, asking questions shed no light on anything, she'd had to learn like everyone else here. “So, you ain't gone after all? ..things must be different back home.” It was almost a thought said aloud than a question, a sweet smile returning to her lips as she motioned him along, so she could take him back toward the circus.
