”That was fun. But don’t think I won’t get you back for that.” Kaylee warned.
”I wasn’t thinking that at all.” River told her. ”But I look forward to it none the less.” She said simply.
”Lets go back to the shore. I’m… I’m feeling kind’a worn out, tell’ya the truth.” Kaylee admitted.
”Of course!” River took her hand again. ”Come on, we should go eat anyway. The day is escaping us, even though I wish it wouldn’t.” She tugged her along again a little before letting her go so she could use the hand to swim with.
Kaylee followed her back to shore and watched as River got up on shore first and helped her up. ”Sorry about this.” Kaylee offered.
”About what?” River asked.
”Gettin’ tired, you know.” She offered.
”That’s nonsense. The lake likes you too much, and I agree with her.” River told her.
Kaylee sat down on the lake’s edge and started drying her hair with the towel River rushed to bring her.
”I’ll go get the food ready, don’t go anywhere.” River admonished her.
”Wasn’t plannin’ on it.” She said to herself, looking after her shipmate as she went off, drying herself with a second towel as she went. [She really does have a nice body…] She thought to herself as she watched River’s graceful movements.
After sitting there a few moments more and feeling her energy come back some, Kaylee got herself back on her feet and walked over to where River was setting up their little informal picnic, having put on her clothes again.
She sat the towel down against the tree that was there and sat down with a happy sigh. ”It really is beautiful today, ain’t it?” She said wistfully.
”It is.” River replied.
Kaylee looked to her and their eyes met. Had River been watching her just then? [Huh. Wonder what that’s about.] She idly mused.
”You like being in the water, don’t you?” Kaylee asked, laying her head back and closing her eyes.
River seemed to consider that a moment. ”I am jealous of fish gills sometimes, but I don’t want to be a mermaid in a small lake, I don’t think…” She told her.
Kaylee laughed at that, smiling to River. ”You sure have got a way thinkin’ about things.” Kaylee told her.

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 )
