((Indeed.))
*Simon pulled the chair beneath her, helping her down into it.*
"Better safe than sorry. We should get you checked out."
*He wheeled her toward an examination room.*

*She was going to protest, but of course, he had a point. And she wasn't exactly opposed to him examining her.*
"Well, all right..."

*He carefully closed the curtain behind them, giving them some pseudo-privacy. Simon helped her onto the bed, his skin tingling at the touch of her. But he did what he could to be professional.*
"Um...so where does it hurt?"
*He was looking where she had held her side earlier, so it was apparent that he at least had some idea.*

"Um, here," *she said, pointing.* "Hit the corner of a table."

*He touched the spot gently, trying to gauge her response.*
"And how did you manage that?" *He spoke gently with a smile.*

*She winced, but hid it with a laugh. Which also hurt.*
"Somebody was runnin' and ran into me," *she said brightly.* "I think they'd been picking pockets."

"Ahh."
*Simon frowned a little, his fingers caressing the fabric softly.*
"Um...Kaylee...I'm gonna need you to...take off your shirt."

"Oh, right."
*She pulled the flowered top off, leaving only her bra to cover herself. Already a red ugly bruise was forming on her side.*

*A blush colored Simon's cheeks as he tried all too hard to focus on Kaylee's bruise. Which he examined very very closely.*
"Hmm...I'll need to take some X-rays, but my guess is that some of your ribs are broken."

*She noticed his reaction and bit back a smile, despite the news.*
"Broken? Well ain't that convenient..."

*His brows lifted at her surprisingly good humor.*
"Why? You have plans for something special? With...someone special?"
*Hesitation hung in his voice.*

"What?"
*Good natured surprise showed in her face.*
"Oh no, nothin' like that," *she said her face coloring slightly.*

*He looked almost relieved, but still a bit awkward as he stood, offering her a hand up.*
"So...about those x-rays...um, they're this way."
*He gestured at the hall behind the curtain.*
"And here."
*He opened a drawer and pulled out a gown for her.*
"I can step out while you...you know. Change."

*She took his hand and stood gingerly, taking the gown.*
"All right. Um.."
*She waited for him to leave before quickly changing out of her clothes. When she'd finished, she poked her head out of the curtain with a smile.*
"Okay."

*He brightened at the sight of her.*
"Umm...this way."
*He lifted his hand but then hesitated, unsure of the unnecessary contact. He didn't want to make her fell...uncomfortable. Swallowing he bit his lip and completed the gesture with the lifted hand, suggesting the way. But he did take the excuse to hold the curtain for her as she exited.*
"It won't be too bad, I promise."
