"How can you look like her but be so weak?"
He was right.
Sammy closed her eyes. She didn't remember the things 13 said she had done. She didn't know what he knew.
But she knew one thing, knew it with solid certainty. That woman, the one 13 knew, wasn't inside of her anymore, if she ever had been.
"Don't worry." John's voice, quiet and strong, "It isn't him. It isn't you. He's lost so much already and now he's lost something else, something he thought he could trust. He lashes out because he can't bear losing you, too."
"It doesn't make it right, John." Inara's voice is chastizing, "13..."
"Is right." Sammy stood up, and pushed away from Inara, ignoring the pain in her back and legs. "He's right. I'm weak."
Then she looked around the galley, Choo calmly cooking, Fly entering looking harried... Strangers who all knew her name. "I'm a burden to all of you."
"No, Ertia...think about this for a moment." Shepherd Book, using a name that she didn't know, and she stared at him. "You've saved all of our lives a time or two. And you are still that person, whether you want to believe it or not. God gives us trials for a reason, and there is something to be learned in all things."
"Yeah, well, maybe God aughta go pick on someone else." Sammy answered, "As soon as we make landfall again, I'll get out of your hair."
Inara bit her lower lip, thinking, "Maybe you need some time away, but you shouldn't be alone. My friend, Sheydra, has been asking me to come teach at her training house. It's quiet, a sacred retreat. You could come with me."
"You askin' Sammy to run away with you, Inara?" Mal's voice, crisp and clear from the stairs, "And here I thought I was the object of your affeccccccctiooooooons."

*looks at name of poster* Who are you again? 
*Inara rolled her eyes at Mal and replied*
It always has to be about you doesn't it Mal?
*Mal smiled and replied*
Well I...
*Before Mal could finish his quip, Fly placed a hand on his arm and said*
I hate to interrupt but I need to talk to you in private.
*Mal looked at Fly, his smile disappeared as he looked into her eyes, and said to her*
Right now now Fly?
*Fly replied*
Yes now.
*Fly let go of Mal's arm and walked in the direction of the cargo bay stairway, Mal following behind. Once out of the galley, Mal said to Fly*
What's this news that you need to speak to me in private about?
*Fly looked into Mal's eyes and said*
Pain got a wave from Reggie but since Pain ain't here I had to take the message.
*Mal raised an eyebrow and said*
Go on.
*Fly swallowed and continued*
Reggie needed Pain to pull a job for him, but Reggie gave that job to me and I'm goin' to take it sir.
*Fly handed Mal a piece of paper with coordinate on it and said*
This is where he wants to meet us at. I'm goin' to do the job and then I'm out of here.
Meanwhile in the Galley
*Jayne watched as Fly and the Captain left the galley and said to noone in particular*
What's that all about?
*Wash replied*
Either Fly's making out with the Captain or they're planning a suprise party. I'm hoping it's the party.

"What? Recovery through incense?" somebody said under their breath.
I turned sharply to the speaker. The one they called 13, wearing a dark scowl. Our eyes met, and his scowl morphed into a dark, almost vicious grin. He mouthed the words, "tip my rod," and then looked away.
"A training house," I said. "Not many places that are easier to relax in."
And that was true. A place to rest, a place to breathe. The more I thought about it, the more it sounded as if I should make a stop there.
Then I saw River, standing fragile and separate. My place was where she was.
Ain't responsibility a bitch?
"This mean you'll be gone for a 'specially long while, Inara?" Mal said, coming into the room. "Cause there's some occasions when we might need you."
"It'll be a temporary position," Inara explained. "Although I might need some...time for myself as well."
Mal harrumphed, crossing his arms. "We'll have to work out the details, but it seems to be the best thing for Sammy at the time."

"Needs more spice." JR pionted to the big pot, "and don't cook the protein to much. Doesn't taste nice burnt."
"mmm....burnt protein." Choo said sarcastically.
"So how far is this whore house," Jayne asked through a mouthful of Fruity Oaty Bar. "Got an opening?"
"oh...can i interview for that position?" Wash chimmed up. "I'd be better suited at it than Jayne. Wouldn't i dear." Zoe just replied by elbowing him in the ribs.
"shut up!" Mal cried. "Look, 'nara how far is this ... training house. Got some important jobs too be doing."
"Wait." Choo said astonised "You have a job? Gimme a minute and i'll go record this moment."
"About a weeks travel. Its not on the guild register, more..." Inara said trailing off.
"Its a secret club house." 13 sneered. "Not on any known lists, just there 'cause tbe guild ain't always right in their teachings..."
"Technically." Inara said "but it has the same facilities and-"
"Right then." Mal inturputed, feeling this conversation was over, slightly down trodden "Thats our next stop. After we've done the job." Before Inara or anyone could protest he was heading out the door.
"oh, you might want to tell Kaylee." he said quietly to the Companion, nobody noticing yet The door to the eingine room locked and sealed tight...
Okay, who upset someone we like....and where the puppy!!!

Shouldn't we go to the House first, so the Operative will have someone as leverage after the Maidenhead?
'We're all just floating.'
