Mal-Simon, post-Mal-Gabe.

It's been an eventful week or so, thought-wise, for Mal. Lot of things to ponder over, not the least the topics on his list being his conversation with one Gabriel Tam.

This may be why he is heading down the stairs to the lounge and infirmary area, hoping to catch sight of Simon.

Simon's about. Just coming out of the infirmary.
simon_doctor: (casual friendly)

"Dang ran." He slows, and waits for Mal.

There's a long pause.

"What did you tell him?"
simon_doctor: (look up)

A murmur: "I expect he did."
simon_doctor: (pensive)

"Not as such, no."

A pause.

"We talked, a little. He's about to start the first stages of his campaign."

"He's very determined."

Simon glances away.

"And he's not doing this lightly. It's going to cost him a great deal. Even if he wins."

"Thank you. That's ... good to know."

And it is, surprisingly good; to hear that the two halves of his life may actually be able to meet without grating at each other like two edges of a poorly-set broken bone.
simon_doctor: (tee hee)

"...No, I imagine that hasn't changed."
