Mal went up to the bridge and looked around. He remembered all the times he had caught Wash playing with his dinosaurs or worse Zoe and Wash making out. The dinosaurs were still there and he dare not move them Zoe still not had been able to face entering the bridge and he knew she would have to deal with this in her own way. Even though he frowned upon ship board romances he knew they loved each other despite their differences.

He sat in the pilot's chair and looked around. All trace of Wash's death happening there gone only the memories painful memories remained.

He never heard Inara enter the bridge he was lost in thought about Wash.

Inara: So when do you think you will be flying again?

He turned around almost surprised to see her. They had not argued at all since she returned to the ship and he didn't push asking her about her plans. He was happy and grateful she was there. She didn't get much injuries so she took charge of the ship and other matters while Mal was in the medical centre.

Mal: Hopefully soon if Kaylee would keep working on the engine and repairs and not the Doc.

Inara laughed a little she could see Mal was uncomfortable talking about the new relationship between Kaylee and the Doc.

Inara: She's happy Mal

Mal: Oh yes i can see that she is all shiny but it is creating a few problems on my ship. I got Jayne ranting on about it all the time.

Inara: Oh you know Jayne he is always complaining about something

Mal: Well the other day he was going to use Vera on the Doc its that serious. He was lifting weights the other day and he found a pair of tighty whiteys on his bench and they sure weren't his. I really can't imagine Jayne wearing tighty whiteys, can you?

Inara laughed

Inara: Oh Mal i don't feel like imagining Jayne's undergarments or lack of them. Are you sure they were the Simons?

Mal looked at Inara he knew if they weren't Jayne or Simons they she was implying they were his.

Mal: Nara i've woren some peculiar items in my time even women's clothes
