inara + beverly Five years? You really think you'll be here that long?
Simon's only given me a broad sketch of what your world is like. I expect he's told you something of ours. Oddly, he and I had the best relationship with the Alliance out of all our friends before we came to know each other. It's actually been nice to step away from a rigid chain of command, to be quite honest.
I appreciate that, thank you. And no, we haven't met yet. I'm afraid I'm still adjusting to the notion of being a medical counselor. It's not entirely beyond my experience, but the title is rather more exclusive than my previous one.
