Sibling Cuddles...
Sometime after breakfast (of a sort) with Inara, Simon's wandering around the Training House, aimlessly.
In actuality, he's headed to River's room, but he doesn't want anyone to know that he's purposefully going there. Instead, he takes his time, popping into a class to help demonstrate something or other. He tries to gracefully decline being the subject of a trainee's first blow-job, but fails. (One wonders if he was really trying all that hard in the first place.)
Finally, he's walking down the corridor to River's room, where he reaches out to brush against her mind before he pauses and knocks on the door.
