Even with her lack of status with the Companion Guild, if ever there is a wave that gets bounced back to Inara's shuttle in the minute hours of ship's morning, it tends to be for the Companion rather than the captain of the ship. His wake up calls are never as polite as the timid chiming noise Inara's screen provided when a call was incoming ( Read more... ) -
Starting Repairs.
It took Kaylee and Mal several days to figure out a plan of action to deal with repairs to the ship in the garage, and there's no argument to Mal's insistence at starting with the spikes through the bridge alongside the debris cleanup that needs to get cleared out before any true work can begin for restoration ( Read more... ) -
Mal-Simon.
It's easy enough to find Simon on the ship - "Doc, come up to Shuttle One. If you ain't busy" over the intercom's pretty efficient in that regard ( Read more... ) -
Shuttle Two.
There's little to no conversation after Mal adjusts course, but everyone had their own corners of the ship to concern themselves with ( Read more... ) -
Mal-Kaylee, at a nebulous point post-return.
It had been a simple note from Simon -- an almost-typical 'Kaylee's back, we're staying in the bar, nobody's dead, be back later'. Simple, and appreciated nonetheless. Makes him feel all captainy, keepin' track of folk ( Read more... ) -

There are other timelines than these.
[ooc: This is a possibility, not an absolute. There are no absolutes at the end of the universe.]Mal thought the feds have gotten faster than they used to be, only because he refused to believe that he's gotten slower. Age doesn't work like that, or so Mal hoped. And if at 41 he can't run as fast as he did at 33, that's simply because he's not ( Read more... ) -
Mal-Inara.
Mal always finds a use for things he procures -- it's a talent for frugality one picks up when everything, no matter how rich you are, can become in extremely short supply extremely quickly. That being said, there are some times when he doesn't use things as quickly as he should, leaving things for when he gets bored, or restless, or all of the ( Read more... )
