Hey you're welcome. You post when you can man it's ok with us. Nice to hear you got family out here in the wacky state of CA.
*Pain entered the galley and smelled the food at the table. He took a seat next to Ertia and kissed her on the cheek. Jayne said out loud as he scooped some food on his plate*
Cut it out ya two can't ya see that i'm eatin'?
*Pain and Ertia chuckle as Pain says*
I'm sorry for displayin' affection for the woman I love. I promise not to do it again and offend your sensibilities.
*Jayne grunted*
Best see to it ya do.
*Pain replied as Ertia handed him a plate*
I was bein' sarcastic Jayne.
*Ertia rubbed Pain's back and said*
Aw come on now Pain, Jayne's just jealous ain't you Jayne?
*Jayne says a little irritated*
Aw hell I ain't jealous I jus' ain't got the time fer a relationship.
*Pain says*
Uh huh sure.
*Just then Mal comes in holding his bandaged chest and says*
Alright would everyone stop pickin' on Jayne long enough to enjoy the fine cookin'.

"Captain!" Kaylee practically squeals. Ertia's glad Kaylee did it before she did it and embarrassed herself.
"I heard y'all had a shoot-out?" Mal lowers himself gingerly to his seat and looks around himself, "13?"
"In parts, sir." Zoe answers, "River and Fly are patching him up."
"Good." Mal heaps food on his plate, "'Cause when we get this job done, I'm gonna kill him my ownself."
No one can tell if he's actually joking or not.
"Good food." Wash breaks the tension, talking wiht his mouth full.
"Hear hear." Ertia raises her cup of tea, saluting the table. "Here's to the best damn crew flying!"
She leans her head on Jayne's shoulder as the raucus voice of 13's nasty little pet cries, "HERE HERE HERE HERE!"
"I'm gonna kill that thing, too." Mal grunts, but this time, he's smiling.

*Pain swallows some chicken, chases it with some tea and thinks to himself*
It's good to have the Captain back.
*Pain felt a familiar hand on his thigh, glanced over at Ertia and grinned. Ertia returned the grin as she ate some rice. Pain was about to return the favor when 13's pet screached*
YIBBLETYJIGGETYZOOB!!!!
*Jayne said to noone in particular*
Someone wanna shut that gorram freak up?
*Kaylee spoke up*
Aw Jayne it just wants some attention is all.
*Pain thought to himself as he ran a hand up Ertia's thigh*
If'n 13 does keep that thing onboard he'd better not expect me to clean up after it.

(OoC: You two are both from California? Huh. Feel so lonely up in Canada..)
Resting rather comfortably in the infirmary, 13 is (for the most part) patched up, although his legs still aren't reattached. He's stopped bleeding and leaking, however.
Drained from the duel, 13 attempts to recharge, using a specific item he acquired from Kaylee, snorting as he tossed the thing in his hands.
"Four AAs..that'll at least keep me up for two hours."
-------------------------------------------------
'I don't know. He seems kind of peculiar.'
'Maybe he's Canadian!'

*Pain finished his food, gently grabbed Ertia's hand off his thigh, stood up and said*
Alright I gotta check on my laundry.
*Mal said swallowing down some food, twinging some from his wound*
We'll be here.
*Ertia looked at Pain with a disappointed look, but smiled again as he kissed her on her head. He smiled back at her, turned and headed to the autowasher. He thought to himself as he headed down the stairs and past the infirmary where 13 was*
I hope Ertia changes her hair back to the color it was before. I ain't really partial to blondes.
*He made it to the autowasher, noting the clothes he had on previously were still there. Pain opened the autowasher door, opened his duffle bag, and started to dump in the dry clothes and bed sheets. After he did that he took his now dry boots and put them on. He hoisted the bag over his good shoulder and made his way across the cargo bay to the front stairs. He climbed up the stairs, rounded the corner and made his way to his bunk. Ertia saw Pain open his hatch and quickened the rate of her food consumption.*

OoC: Where to begin? I'm sooo out of the loop.
The brief but intense firefight and the subsequent clean-up left many of the crew almost in a state of shock, and the captain and 13 wounded. But some good grub brought everybody back to life. JR had received a small flesh wound to his shoulder that didn't require the Doc's talents, but Inara had seen him placing a piece of gauze on the wound. "Here, let me help you with that," she says. "Looks a little deep, you want to have Simon look at it?" JR says, "Naw, just stings a little. 'Sides, I don't want Doc to be distracted on a little cut." Inara says, "All right, JR, but I'll help you out by bringing a bowl of some of that delicious food, OK?" "Sure, Inara, I'd like that," he says, thinking to himself how nice it would be to have someone like her around all the time. "Oops, can't begin to think like that again. She and Cap'n have a history, and I oughta be thinking more of Sybil." Inara returns to JR with two bowls of food on a tray. At that moment, Simon spots Inara and JR, with JR placing his left hand on his upper right shoulder. "JR, thanks for letting me work on some other things. Good job on the shoulder, but I want you to place your arm in this sling. Inara, can you help him out?" Simon hands the sling to Inara. She says, "I'd be happy to." She turns to JR and says, "Can you please come with me JR?" All JR can do is get up and follow, as if he's been hypnotized.

Both Inara and JR proceeded to her shuttle. As usual, her quarters literally sparkled, with candles placed throughout the room, giving off a soothing smell of vanilla. And to JR's mild surprise, there was Shipscat, lounging on the bed. "Hey girl, ain't seen you in a spell," JR says. Shipscat almost jumps at the chance for a good back rub. "My, she's friendly, ain't she," JR says. Inara responds, "Yes, I'm a little surprised myself. Normally, when she's finished eating, she'll just leave here and go somewhere else. I guess she really likes you." Shipscat was purring loudly, arching her back while JR stroked it from neck to tail. Inara walks up to JR with the bowl of food on a tray, a large spoon on one side and a glass of water on the other. "If I remember correctly, you don't drink tea, correct?" JR says, "Yes, that's right. Thank you." After she's placed his food and drink on the table, she gets her own food and drink and returns to the table. "Thanks for waiting for me," she says. They both start to eat the delicious food. Inara asks, "Have you talked to Sybil lately?" JR almost chokes on his food. "Uh, ahem, no, not for a few days. We have the coordinates for the docking station and her summer home, so right before we hit atmo I'll send her a wave. Why do you ask?" Inara says, "I haven't told you, but, the name Sybil Harrow sounded vaguely familiar, from some years ago. So, I check the Training school records where I became a registered companion." JR's eyes widen, a lot. "What, she's a companion? She never said that to me!!" Inara says, "No, no, dear. Nothing like that. The companion guild offers a very elite, high class etiquette school, offering young women, and a few men, the opportunity to "better" themselves in high society. Believe me, it's very expensive. And a certain Sybil Harrow passed all her courses with flying colors, graduating in the top five percent of her class of two hundred students. But, she also took classes in earth-that-was history, literature, and even a 18-month course in kung fu, earning a silver tiger level. I must say, you've got quite a woman there," Inara says with her gorgeous smile. JR has stopped eating. "Gosh, why would a woman of her caliber be interested in me? It don't make no sense," JR says with a blank look on his face. "I mean, I'm just a 'hired hand' round these parts, ain't nothin' special to look at, least I don't think so." He gets up from the table. "I'm not sure I'm gonna be the right choice for her. Need to think about this." Inara quickly rises from the table and places her hand on his arm. "JR, a good woman sees beyond the first impression, if she has time. You gave your time to her to 'check you out', so to speak. I believe she sees what I do, a good man who's had to do some hard things to live and get by. A man of loyalty and strength. She likes what she sees after that first impression. Believe me, I know if I could I would jump at that chance to....." before she can finish, JR grabs her arm and pulls her towards him, and as she rather forceably bumps into JR, he grabs her by the waist and pulls her up to him and presses his lips to hers. She resists for only a second, totally giving in to the passion that he relays thru his lips and tongue to hers. She strokes the back of his neck while he continues to hold her up to meet his mouth. Though only ten seconds, the kiss seems to last for hours. When they finally part, their hearts are almost pounding out of their chests. Inara places her hands on his chest and looks into his eyes and in a quiet voice says, "My, I thought we took care of that crush you had for me in our last conversation." JR says, "Inara, I've been wanting to do that for almost three years now, and I'm not gonna apologize for doing it, but I will say, if the Cap'n ever comes to his senses, he'll be one lucky man."
Everyone dies alone.

WHOOT JR!!!!!!!!
*does silly JR-Kissee-'Nara dance*
Okeee... done now.*
Ertia gulps down the last of her meade and glances around. Technically, she was on clean-up today, but she's already been the one to cook.
"We've got it, Ertia." Book says kindly, "Get some rest."
"Thank you, shepherd." She pauses by Guy and Fly, "Night you two! Good shooting today."
"What? No 'good job' for me?" Mal teases her, and she pats him on the back as she passes.
"No, sir. You got yourself run through with a katana." She hesitated, her eyes gleaming, "What happened to that, by the way?"
"It's in the infirmary." Simon answers as he fills his own plate, having just seen to JR.
"Yours if you want it." Mal says, "Don't particularly care to see it again."
"THANKS!" Ertia skips down the corridor to Pain's bunk, humming to herself.

*Pain finished putting clean sheets on his bed as he heard a knock on his door. He leisurely walked over to the com and said*
Who is it?
*Ertia pressed the com button and said*
It's me you sexy sexy man.
*Pain chuckled, pressed the com button and said*
Come in.
*Pain watched as his room's hatch opened and Ertia climbed down the ladder. She gasped when Pain picked her up in his strong arms, kissing her passionately. He carried her a short ways, her hands carressing the back of his neck. She giggled as he sat her down on his desk, his arms on her waist. They kissed again before his lips departed from hers, and he said*
I see you're ready for dessert.
*Ertia wrapped her legs around his waist, kissed him and said*
You got that right bao bei.
*Pain gave her a devilish grin and kissed her.*
