Saffron! What fun!

Poor Inara, humane and jealous at the same time.

Love Mal's description of Inara when she's angry, he does that on purpose sometimes, doesn't he.

You almost feel sorry for Saffron. And then you don't. You really, REALLY don't. Crazy devil woman is worse than the chickens.

Yes, like you said: for half a second, I did feel sorry for Saffron, too--and then I didn't.

"You're a public bus" -- What a great insult!

Now the game is afoot, so the Reaver chickens are cleaver the "killed" and ate Saffron then turned her skin into a Saffron suit and several of them crawled inside to use it like a muppet, Very clever reaver chickens.

I loved the contrast between the goddess descending from the sky versus Saffron's actual mode of entry onto the scene. A goddess doesn't arrive in a chicken crate! Ha, ha!

So the apple crate is part of the plot...Reaver apples, anyone? They better cut them up first before eating them.

Saffron is surely no goddess, that's the truth.

Thanks for your comments. I've been waiting a long time to bring Saffron back aboard! (This scene was sketched in October 2010.) I have also really enjoyed everyone's speculations about the chicken crate, and had a hard time not spilling the beans about what was really inside it. Platonist, of course Mal often makes Inara angry on purpose -- he knows that angry Inara is real, not hiding behind a Companion mask, so he often provokes her, making her "madder than a wet hen." Now, about those Reaver apples...

You mean the Saffron muppet full of Reaver Chickens is back aboard. :)

The cluck is ticking. They've gone and opened pandora's bawks, and it ain't no peck-nic. They're really gonna hafta scramble, before her plan hatches. She may be hen-some but she's also fowl. She'll have them running around like their heads been cut off.

Eggcellent observations, Bytemite. My sentiments eggsactly. Trouble is brooding. The question is, will she just wing them, or will she deliver the coop de grace?

You guys are really starting to develop a unhealthy fascination with chickens. :)

There’s big trouble about to be brewing! Excellent chapter eb! So the redheaded sea-witch is back, and she’s thinking it’s party time! Mal might as well abandon ship now…..lol

The Captain may soon be coming down with a fowl case of chicken fever, or red bird flu. We can already see that Saffron intentions are up to no good. It will be very interesting to see what kind of mischief you can create for her. May haps the best thing they could do is put her in a shuttle and brag her behind Serenity with a tow line? No that wouldn’t work either :)

Very fun read ed, nice job! Z

Bird flu! Ha, ha, I like it. (Not that I have an unhealthy fascination with chickens or birds or anything. ;-) ) Oh yes, ZZ, Saffron is nothing but trouble.
