And you're just... fine with it?

[Not to be a jerk or anything but she's still trying to get her head around how calm people are about this.]

I've been here maybe a week and I'm still not sure how I feel about all this.

[hot4engines]

Not really, but there don't seem to be a whole lot we can do about it, either. I ain't a fighter or a rebel... so long as I got a ship to work on, I can be happy.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

I wish that could be enough for me, but I understand what you're saying. Building a life for yourself is just as important as fighting to have it. It's kinda the same thing, I guess.

[hot4engines]

And I'm something of an optimist, too. [She winked.] So I gotta trust that things will work out for us somehow. When the time comes, I hope to be useful in some way, but for now, I'm not gonna dwell too much on things I can't fix.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

It's nice to hope, but I'm kinda the type that makes it work out instead of hoping it will. I get stir crazy if I don't.

[She's definitely a woman of action, down to her bones. It's why she's survived as long as she has.]

[hot4engines]

Ain't nothing wrong with that approach, either. Some folks need to have a thing to do, to work toward. This Fleet's got all kinda, so I hope you can find something to hold onto.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

Unfortunately, the things I want to hold onto aren't here... but I'll do my best. Thank you.

[hot4engines]

Is it 'cause you're separated from home...? Or is there someone you're missing? ... you know, if you don't mind me pryin'.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

My husband. I can get by without him but... I'd feel better being back home with him, you know?

[hot4engines]

[Kaylee nodded.]

I hear ya. Me'n my boyfriend had just got together before I got sucked here, which I know ain't the same thing, but... I miss my crew, too. You travel with people a while and they get to be like your family.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

We got good at that back home - making a family out of each other. It wasn't just me and Glenn it was others too. Carl, who's here in the fleet too. His dad brought us all together.

[hot4engines]

[Kaylee smiled.]

And if nothin' else, you had each other, right? And that helps you survive more than anything, even if you don't got much else.
