Firefly: Five sentences Mal would never have told Inara, even if they were true.
1. When he let the shuttle to Inara, she made it clear that he was not to call her a whore again. Out loud, he lied and agreed. Inwardly, he soon came to add, 's only your trade I'm insultin'.
2. That didn't worry him too much, though. What worried him was when he came to think, with each insult, Leave the Guild.
3. "Everybody dies alone," he told her. An' maybe it's better'n the alternative, he mused silently, watching her face.
4. She moved away, hand sliding from his arm, taking her warmth with it. He watched her walk to her shuttle, felt his heart thud hard against his chest. Don't go, it was screaming.
5. "Good answer," he told her. What he didn't say was, Have dinner with me. Captain's quarters. He was pretty sure his eyes were taking care of the 'ruttin' excellent answer' bit.
