Fun watching Saffron check in with both her employers. Heh, collections.
The two wannabes are interesting characters. In a way, comical, because of all their posturing, almost hard to even consider a threat. And yet they want to be Blue Hands, and they know what all goes into that, without any squeamishness.

Well, I always have fun writing Saffron. She doesn't pull her punches.
The Blue Hands wannabes are sort of sinister-comical. They're not wearing the gloves yet, and they still act human, so they're just not as creepy as the flat-affect Blue Hands who've appeared elsewhere. Yet. We'll be seeing a bit more of them in this story.

Hmm so was Mal imagining Book or was River playing the part of Book in his mind?

Oh, Book was in Mal's imagination, Nutluck. "Book" in this scene says what Mal doesn't want to say to himself. He's down in the dumps, and Book's voicing the more hopeful thoughts that he doesn't want to acknowledge at this point because it would wreck the completeness of his down-in-the-dumps-ness. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but hey he's depressed, and depression isn't cured by common sense. And yet part of him knows that he's wallowing, this black pit he's lurking in is of his own making, and that he has the ability to get out of it, if he works for it. "Book" is the part of his mind that insists on pointing this out.

Oh I know thats what "Book" was doing, but that is also something I could see River doing. I mean she knows what Mal is thinking and what he would like to say, so it would be easier for her to play the part of Book in his mind. :)

I like it that your bad guys are not bad just for the sake of being bad. A lot of writers just take a short cut and write about a stock sociopath, which I think is boring and cliche. Thanks for exploring the motivation of people who are on the Blue Sun side of things.
