*Pain looked at Ertia and said*

You know as much as I hate to admit it, Jayne's right. Next time we're dirtside we'll teach you how to shoot. Or if'n you'd like I could teach you how to shoot.

*Pain smiled and continued*

'Sides I already know you're good with one weapon.

The grey tabby slinks into the galley, belly low to the ground and ears twitching. But when she sees that Ertia and Pain are the only ones there the little cat perks up immediately. Purring loudly she hops up onto Ertia's lap and looks at her curiously, then curls up with a contented sigh.

"Well, hi, sweet kitty! Where you been hiding?" Ertia strokes the soft fur as Shepherd Book joins them and starts puttering in the kitchen to make food. "Yeah, Pain. You're probably right. If I'm going to live with guns, I'd best learn to use them proper."

She shakes her head slightly, "I've just always gotten by on my wits before. My laser pistol just kinda fell into my hands, and, well, it's handy. But lead bullets? Not so used to that."

Pain rubs her shoulder encouragingly, "That's all right. You'll learn."

"Reckon I will." She leans back and pets the cat, humming tiredly to herself. Book's cooking smells good and she realizes that she's actually hungry.

(I like this 'character list' idea. I'll try to do a 13 profile, when I get the time.)

"Mal, they aren't going to stop coming. The Britannia was just the beginning." 13 pauses, staring past the fuming Mal. "In fact, between Simon, River, Ertia, and myself, you have more than your share of fugitives."

"Yeah, but there's a difference between them and you. They're generally likable folk who don't take to running off, getting blown up, or cross-dressin'."

"So why keep me here? It'll only end with everyone here stewing on a penal moon."

"The rest took a liking to you, strange as it sounds. Personally, I'd rather have off this boat. But, I'd be in trouble with the rest."

I kinda have a profile for Pain, but I'd like to see everyone elses first.

*Pain watched Ertia pet Shipscat cat. Whatever Book was cooking smelled good and Pain said*

Whatever you're cookin' Shepard sure smells good.

*Book looked back, smiled, and said*

Oh it's nothing really just some protein and a few spices here and there.

*Ertia spoke up*

Well that's ok Shepard it still smells good amd I'm sure it'll taste even better.

*Book smiled and returned to cooking, as Pain kissed Ertia's shoulder and said over Shipscat's purring*

You know I think that cat's takin' a likin' to you. Can't say the same for me though.

( I always thought of Guy as the 'mystery' of High Charity, although that was kinda Orphan's job, what with the Academy... )

The little cat looks up at Pain, her green eyes half-lidded and content. Then she yawns hugely, and lowers her head back to her paws again. The loud purring continues uninterrupted.

I don't really have much character to summerize... after all, I'm just a small grey tabby cat that shows up at random times to beg for food and/or affection! If I'm not in the galley you might find me on the bridge with Wash, in the engine room with Kaylee, or asleep on Simon's bunk

Ertia rubs the sleepy cats ears gently. "She's so nice to have around. Wish Jayne would be a bit nicer to her. Wish that stinking ape was off this ship so she felt safe again."

"All things come clear in time." Shepherd Book answers from the kitchen as Fly arrives and helps set the table.

"Clear as in I'm gonna throw it out the airlock the next time noone's paying attention." Ertia grumbles, "Isn't that right, ShipsCat. Nobody will know but us."

" 'cept you just told us." Pain says with a frown, "So anybody know where we're headed or what we're doing? We got paid, didn't we? And already had a little left over from the job with my uncle."

"But now the Alliance is after us all over again!" Ertia sighs in frustration. "Everytime I think we get clear, BAM! Can't we just do some nice honest smuggling?"

*Pain started to massage Ertia's shoulders and said*

Yeah I wouldn't mind a nice smugglin' job. Perhaps somethin' on the Rim somewhere far away from the Feds.

*Ertia moaned a little and said*

That feels good Pain.

*Pain smiled, kissed Ertia on the cheek and replied*

You looked like you needed it.

*Pain turned his attention to Fly and said to her while still massaging Ertia*

Hey Fly! What'd you do with my machine gun?

*Fly looked up, smiled and said as she finished setting the table*

It's in my bunk Pain, probably should've returned it to you.

*Pain chuckled and said*

Uh huh. You just like takin' my guns don't you?

*Fly smiled and said*

That's only because you don't share them with me.

*Pain smiled at Fly as she went to get Shipscat something to eat and drink. Pain turned his attention to Ertia and said*

I'll be back, just gotta get my machine gun.

*Pain got up, trying not to wake up Shipscat, kissed Ertia and said*

I'll be back to resume the massagin' ok bao bei?
