stillflyinMal had been asleep when Inara called, which he thought was just a touch unfair of her to call so early in the morning. He'd been having a good dream, too. Something about a willing woman with dark hair and a handy touch with water and sponge. Come to think of it...
Nah. Mal weren't the type to look at his dreams none too close, anyway.
He dragged himself out of bed and over to the screen, keying it on while scrubbing his eyes and trying to pull himself together enough for something like civilised conversation.
"Bit early for a social call, isn't it?"

"Figure the girl's brother just run off when he saw it?"

"Boy's on the ship, Inara. He's Kaylee's new ài rén."

It wasn't impossible, she told herself, pulling herself together. If the sister had only missed him that morning and he'd spent all night on the ship. It wasn't impossible.
"Well, I suppose we'd better get him back to his family, then," she said, with more calm than she felt. "Unless Kaylee's planning on taking him with her."

"You'd best round the girl up an' bring her back to the ship. Tell her we've got her brother, safe and sound. Name's Warren, if she wants to be sure."
