Right and Wrong

Part Four
“Raped?” Kaylee could barely say the word, “That guy raped you?” Simon pulled Kaylee against his chest, comforting her.
“Yeah…” Just like Kaylee does when she is nervous, scared or lying, she bit her bottom lip. “It wasn’t a big deal…a few bruises and cuts here and there. What happened next…” She struggled trying to get words to come out. “What happened next is why I am on the run.”
“What did happen next?” Zoe had no compassion for Anya. Something about her just wasn’t right…she didn’t trust her.

“Dead…all dead. I killed them…at the time I didn’t know who tho

~Excellent, we can never have too much of him.
She had selfish reasons for asking River to stop. She didn’t want to think about her rambles. She didn’t want to believe anything might be or might not be true about them. She just wanted them to stop.
~That's pretty bitchy on Inara's part.
Simon can be such a boob, but I don't think he was wrong in mentioning his suspicions, just in how he responded to her question.
