River’s Way, chapter 2

Kaylee was a little stunned to hear that, but it made her smile. ”You sayin’…” She lay down beside River. ”You sayin’, you don’t have bad dreams, long as your sleepin’ next to me?” She asked, playing her fingers through River’s hair a little.
”I don’t.” River said. ”It was most unexpected.” She assessed.
”Huh. What’a ya’know about that.” She said. ”Think it means anything?” She asked.
”I think that everything means something, even if I don’t always know what that is. Why should that be any different?” River asked, rolling on her side to meet Kaylee’s eyes. ”You made us breakfast?” She asked, a spark playing behind her eyes somewhere.
”Prob’ly won’t be as good as when you make it, but yeah.” Kaylee smiled, a bit proud of herself. ”I thought it was about time I started doing more a’my fair share.” She told her friend.
”It makes you feel good, right?” River asked.
”What?”
”Doing things for yourself, or for… another person. It makes you feel good.” River told her.
”Oh. I mean, yeah. Yeah, River, it does at that.” She smiled, kissing River on the forehead and getting up. ”Care to take your life into your hands? Try my cooking?”
”I trust you.” River said simply, getting up and crawling on the bed towards the food Kaylee’d cooked.
Kaylee smiled and ran a hand through her own hair to straighten it out a bit more. ”I trust you too.” She said unexpectedly. Unexpectedly because she hadn’t expected to be saying it.
River turned to her from sitting on the edge of the bed and smiled. ”Do you really, you think?” She asked.
”Huh? Um, well, yeah. I just said it, didn’t I?” She replied.
River just seemed to consider that a moment. ”Okay.” She agreed finally, turning away and getting up from the bed, going to investigate the food. ”There’s going to be a test later though, I’m almost certain.” She said.
”What’s that supposed to mean?” Kaylee asked, a little offended actually, as she got out of bed again too.
”I don’t know. It hasn’t happened yet.” River explained, putting food on her plate.
”You going to test me then? See if I’m lying?” Kaylee asked, a little annoyed now.
”No, why? should I?” River asked, apparently confused.

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 )
