Inara Serra
We get in tomorrow and meet up with Inara again. I'm really worried about her, she sounds so down whenever we've talked this trip. I think I know what's wrong and I worry that means she'll want to give up companioning because of it.
But that would be bad for her because she'd want to stay here and without the status of Companion, it's too dangerous for her out here in the black. And what would she do with herself? I thought about offering her a job as our sales agent, but she'd get into trouble for sure out there representing us to the kinds of people we usually deal with. God, the thought of letting Badger see her. She'd be in chains at his house so fast, her head would spin.
Besides she'd want to hook up with me I think and I ain't ready for that. Hell, I'll never be ready for that. I ain't the kind of man she needs anyway. She needs someone rich and fancible who has the money to keep her in the fashion she deserves not some petty criminal who can't hardly keep food on the table.
What's the ruttin' difference anyway. I'm going to kill the bastard who hurt her and they'll probably string me up for doing so, so I can't protect her after anyway. Well Zoe will make sure she gets to somewhere safe.
