Kaylee's eyes are wide with worry as he stumbles up the ramp and she sees Zoe and Jayne coming up behind him, her voice squeaking a little over the words, "You okay, captain?"
"Get the doctor," he grinds out carefully, past the pain, trying not to make her worry anymore, "some bastard got in a lucky shot."
"Isn't a matter of luck," River says, already bringing Simon, leaning down over the railing to look at him, "it's a matter of carelessness."
He denies that, even to himself, as he's eased into a comfortable position and as Simon works on the bulletwound -- not fatal, but darned painful, and he's thankful for Simon's terribly steady hands and his easy, practised touch. Simon has, he realises, had a little too much practice at pulling bullets out of people, but right now he can't feel sorry for that.
