After a fruitless search through the faire, Simon went to his assigned room. It was considerate, he supposed, that people were provided with rooms. At this point, he was so exhausted that as long as he could be sure the Alliance wouldn't find him, he'd stay just about anywhere.

His heart all but stopped upon entering the room, because there, curled up in one of the beds, was his sister. Simon thought of waking her to ask how she was, but she was sleeping so peacefully that he couldn't. She sometimes had terrible nightmares. He checked as much as he could without disturbing her, then, rather than climbing into his own bead, he pulled up a chair by River's bed and reached for one of her hands. The exhaustion took over him before he had time to even think about how achy he might be come morning.

Simon wanted to say that Mal did care, because... well, if he hadn't, he would've left them behind months ago. He'd certainly had enough opportunities. If nothing else, Simon and River's talents had proven useful enough to merit keeping them on board. But Simon still wanted to believe there was more to it than that, and that alone made a part of him think it was true.

"Of course he does," he told River, cracking half a smile and giving a small laugh. "Someone's bound to have gotten hurt by now, and he's got to miss making up things to complain about you to me for."

River smiled back at Simon. He was right, she was foolish to think that they would just go on and become forgotten. She knew she wasn't exactly the best passenger on board the ship but she still didn't want to be left behind. That was her biggest problem when first ending up at the Labyrinth. She was worried she was taken away again with no hope of going back. But now that Simon was here she felt better.

"Probably." she nodded and then laughed a bit when she remembered what had happened the last time they were taken away. "'Decent wound finally and I miss out.'" she quoted him.

Chuckling, Simon nodded. He was sure he hadn't said that when his sister was around, but then, she was an excellent hider, always won hide and seek when they were little.

"Come on," he said suddenly, standing and rolling his neck. It ached a little more than before now that he tried moving it more, but at least it was bearable. Then again, after having been shot, a lot of things were bearable. He held out a hand to River, inviting her to stand. "Let's tidy up this room and see what's in the city."
