Mal...

[She swallows and looks up at him with large eyes. She can't remember ever seeing him look at her like that. Sure, he's been mad at her before but still, this was a different expression altogether and it worries her.

Her gaze darts to the paper he's holding and she pales. She really wants to run but where would she run to? It wasn't as though she had Sihnon to hide from everything on.

She can't even look at him right now and keeps her gaze adverted. She had never wanted him to know, she hadn't wanted anyone to know because she hasn't wanted to be treated any differently. She hasn't wanted any pity, nothing. She just wanted to live and who could honestly give her that?

No one.]

I didn't want you to ever know.

	So what? You were just going to keel over and die in the shuttlepod one day? On my ship? [He's from so early in her timeline, he doesn't know she left. Or that she'd come back.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her eyebrows furrow and she looks back to him. She knows that he's acting that way because he's scared but it still rankles her. She rounds her shoulders and her chin juts out stubbornly.] Don't worry, I'll be sure not to inconvenience you by keeling over on your precious ship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He feels them falling back into the roles they had before those mistletoe bots. The constant fighting. The pulling apart. As if the stupid black bands weren't bad enough. It's easy to go back there. Except now that they've made such a huge step forward... he doesn't want that.] Damnit Inara, that ain't the problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That seemed to be the part you were focused upon.

[She knows it's not the problem but it was the first thing he'd brought up and she still can't help but feel a little hurt by that. Though, she also knows it can't be easy for him to actually process what he's just learned - which was why she'd never said anything about it before.

She's truly not wanting to fight though and her shoulders slump a bit.]

I don't rightly know what you're wanting me to say right now, Mal.

	[Mal frowns, his shoulders slumping a bit as he tries to figure out what he is trying to say.] What are you sick with even? Ain't catchin' obviously or the rest of us'd be sick too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notquitegeisha 2015-05-04 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	It's noth--- [She began her normal response but cut herself off. She knows that Mal won't believe her, as much as she wishes he would. She wants to reach out and comfort him in some way but she knows that she really can't. Reaching up, her fingers rub against her temples and she sighs.] It's... difficult to explain but it's nothing anyone can catch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And are you getting it looked at? At all? There's doctors here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notquitegeisha 2015-05-07 08:41 am UTC (link)
	[She lets out an exasperated sigh.] No, and I won't. What can they do for me here that doctors back in our world can't do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-05-09 01:13 am UTC (link)
	They all brought us here... someone no one in our place can do. [His frown deepens.] Still I don't trust 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notquitegeisha 2015-05-15 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	[She sighs. It doesn't even have anything to do with trust when it comes to her... It's just she's come to terms with it all. She looks at him and shakes her head a bit.] I'm sorry you had to find out this way. [If it had been up to her, he never would have found out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-05-19 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal suspects what she's thinking.] You mean sorry I had to find out at all. Cause you weren't gonna tell me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She glances away, her eyebrows drawing together.]

I didn't tell you because of this, of how you're reacting. I didn't-- don't want to be treated differently, looked at differently and... I just want to be treated like normal, not like I'm sick and fragile.

Besides. [She looks up at him, her eyes sad.] How do you even go about telling someone something like that?

Sick and fragile is the last words I'd use to describe you. [It comes out along with an angry snort. He's pissed. Really pissed, but at this point, Mal's also trying to find a way past it too. He didn't want to lose what they'd just found... even if it did mean a black band. And then she asks him her next question.]

Well toying with their emotions and acting as though nothing's wrong definitely ain't the proper way, Inara.

Is that what you think I'm doing? Toying with your emotions?!

[For a second she looks honestly hurt that he might even think such a thing but then that melts away to anger of her own. Her hands ball in fists at her side and she rolls her shoulders back. She glares at him for a moment and then with a shake of her head, her expression is completely neutral.]

If that's what you truly believe, then I don't think we have very much else to say to one another.

Fine.

[He's angry enough he throws the various slips of paper in his hand on the floor. A bad idea likely, but he's not really thinking straight. Mal turns on his heel and stalks away. If Inara's looking, she might see one of those slips of paper has her name on it: 'Inara comin' to this prison's the best thing that ever happened to me.' He really should have thought things through.]

[She watches him stalking away and part of her wants to go after him but she knows with how their tempers are... Well nothing much will be accomplished.

She shakes her head and looks down at the papers that he'd tossed down and seeing her name on one of them, her eyebrows draw together and she crouches down and picks it up.

'Inara comin' to this prison's the best thing that ever happened to me.'

She sighs, eyes closing and she can't help but hate the wardens.]
