River’s Way, chapter 2

Kaylee chased River into the forest and only barely kept her in sight. She’d round a tree and see River leaning against one. ”Can’t catch me.” She’d smile, ducking behind the tree and Kaylee would get there and she’d be gone. Maybe up ahead, or even once or twice back where she’d just come from.
After a while of this, Kaylee got the idea there was just no way she was going to be able to tag River back. ”I give up, you win!”
River walked out from the tree right next to her. ”You’re not very good at this game, why’d you chose it?” She asked curiously.
Kaylee giggled a little. ”I underestimated your ability to dart around like that.”
”Oh… that’s understandable then.” River smiled.
Kaylee narrowed her eyes at her. She wanted to do something to her for that, mess up her hair or wrestle with her a little like she and her sister did sometimes, but… she was still a little hesitant to surprise River with things that might be looked at as aggressive. Just… just in case she might react bad to it. She sighed. ”We should be getting back.” She said.
River looked at her a little quizzically, like she was trying to figure her out again. She stepped in closer to her and Kaylee didn’t quite know what to expect. ”I’m sorry… because I wasn’t fun to play tag with.” River said softly. ”I get carried away and…” She kissed Kaylee on the cheek. ”You still like me?” She asked.
Kaylee felt all the sudden a little uncomfortable, butterflies in her belly or something. She smiled, a little unsteady. ”’course I do, don’t be silly.” She said quietly. ”Um, we could play guess who on the way back?” She offered, stepping away and taking River’s hand in hers to show her friend that there really where no hard feelings or anything. It made her feel better too.
”Okay.” River said easily, apparently set at ease from Kaylee taking her hand and all.
”Only, has to be someone I’d have a chance at guessin’, okay? No fancy stuff from school I wouldn’t know. Right?” She asked.
”That’s fair.” River agreed.
”Who guesses first?” Kaylee asked.
”I do.” River answered as they walked.

I think I’d prefer the translations in the text – makes better sense to know right off !
Re-read the first chapter so’s I know I didn’t miss anything. Enjoying all the pages – all the words! Never saw the show. So it’s all new to my head. ;)
I’m really happy you’ve liked it so well so far :)
I’ve gone back and forth about the translations thing myself. It’s more authentic to have it in the back is why I did it that way. In the show, the characters just say the Chinese stuff, they never provided subtitles for it. Still, I’ve waffled on my decision several times, I don’t know (feeling very indecisive about it now u_u )
