Kaylee loved coming to sit and eat in ten forward. She could people watch there. People meant stories and she loved those. On top of that she could see the stars. Back on Serenity she used to wait til the others had gone to sleep sometimes grab a couple of blankets, make herself a hot drink and go sit up in the cockpit. Just watching the stars. Seeing the steam trail away from her mug as the rest of the ship cooled off during the night cycle while all the sleeping quarters were kept warm still.

But this wasn't her girl, somehow this ship didn't seem to sleep. Nightmares and sleeping at all sorts of odd times meant that she'd learned more about the ship. She still missed her girl. The engine room, hammock, and the fairy lights. As well as the books she'd bought for Simon she'd got a few for herself, the serious technical ones were still on the shelf, she was reading something a little more questionable and giggling as she did.

For a moment, Annie just looks startled. Someone is...happy for her? A stranger? But the woman seems sincere, and...happy. For her.

Shyly, Annie grins back. "Um, no, we ain't. Not yet, anyway."

Then she blinks.

"Never been...oh. I can't even imagine that. I'm from Earth, but we only ever heard of the Solar System."

Annie smiles at that, at all the images Kaylee's words conjure. "Maybe if we got to know some folk here. Be a pretty quiet party elsewise."

Still, she's happy to move on - if not else because the brother she's closest to is dead, and for their own safety, she doesn't know her half-siblings.

And it's not as if Kaylee isn't offering her other things.

The look on Annie's face is one of genuine wonder. "So, so many systems," she whispers. Then she laughs, a little. "Yep, I would. Have an excuse to go places, and get paid, certainly go and sign up."

This is because you don't think I'm mad so far, Annie thinks a second after she grins at Kaylee, bright and startled and delighted. It's a thought that makes her smile falter, although she tries to hide it by ignoring, by moving onto the rest of what the woman is talking about.

"Well, 'not always' ain't exactly the same thing as 'never'," she says, but with the kind of smile which suggests she's familiar with inconsistent wages. "And, yeah. Family. My momma's shrimp boat sometimes ran just on that, and nothin' else."
