004: [visual] - Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay a while

Alexis stood outside the steps of the Sanctuary and for a moment she stared up at the building where they'd been stuck for three weeks, then down at her tablet. Her expression was confused, and there was slow growing worry in her eyes.

"Has anyone seen Kate Beckett? Or Dr. Reid?" she asked. Despite the fact that she was asking the question, there was quiet resignation in her voice, as if she already knew the answer. "I think they've both gone home."

She frowned and it was obvious she was debating whether she had anything more to say. Eventually, she bit her lip and asked, "Does anyone have a suggestion for a place to stay?" A pause, and she added quietly, "Somewhere with a threshold?"

"Interestin's good," Kaylee laughed. Well, most of the time it was good. She wasn't so much a fan of the hamsters' version of interesting, to be certain.

The mechanic paused, rubbing the back of her neck. "Should also mention River's livin' here. Don't know if you've met her or not...but she's got her own way about things. She's every bit of genius I know all rolled up into one girl, so it can be a bit unnervin' at times." Don't be scared by the crazy girl, Alexis.

“She’s plenty nice,” Kaylee promised, maybe a little too quickly. “I’m sure you’ll be fast friends.” Hopefully River would agree with that and at least attempt to be pleasant. Kaylee really didn’t want to deal with a household revolution so soon after Alexis moving in.

"We're no strangers to people stayin' here." Given the number of people who had spent at least their first few weeks in Taxon at the Ranch, and those who had stayed on even after that, Kaylee was plenty used to having guests. River...should have been, but there was never any telling with her. "If you wanna give it a trial for your own peace of mind, though, that's shiny too."

Thankfully, the hamsters’ remodeling of the city had somehow left the Ranch within walking distance of the Sanctuary. It was a small blessing in Kaylee’s mind. It was easier for her to jump in and help new arrivals if she was closer to them.

“Company now’d be just fine. I could even meet ya, if you like?”

Kaylee nodded. “That it is.” It was one useful thing the aliens gave them, at least. A small perk in a world of Enjoy Your Forced Extended Stay. She gave Alexis another smile and changed her tablet over to the map as well before going about her business. Occasionally, she glanced over to check on the approaching dot that was Alexis.

The moment Alexis called out, Kaylee was at the door. “In here!” she called, waving Alexis to the door. “Come on in.”
