Anita's outside, actually - and if Mal ever takes to exploring, he'll come across a hardass little black-haired woman who is shooting a mean set of blanks into a target.

Might as well suppose she was born with a gun.

Mal is, to put it in simple terms, a doctor's nightmare, since he will not stay put when injured, unless you shackle him to the bed. Thus he's venturing through the grounds, careful not to limp too badly. The air is a mite nippy for his taste and he's gone in to fetch his coat, which is now draped over his shoulders, the comforting leather folds covering the holster at his right hip.

Coming upon Anita, he pauses, watching her with a note of admiration: she's a right good shot, at least as good at Zoe.

She shoots another sure shot, then sheathes the gun and turns to look at the new arrival.

And then she just raises one challenging eyebrow.

"Nice shot," he says. If there are casings on the ground, he might dart a surreptitious look of curiosity at them, since case-less ammunition has become norm in his time, even in firearms. "That a pre-mod .38?"

tomboy_22 October 4 2010, 20:28:13 UTC

"Browning 9mm," she replies tartly. She hasn't used the Firestar yet. "Who's asking?"

mal_badinlatin October 5 2010, 00:56:54 UTC

"Malcolm Reynolds, just Mal for short," he replies. Glancing to her gun, "Your pleasure or your profession?"

tomboy_22 October 8 2010, 03:51:08 UTC

"Think the two are mutually exclusive?"

Still not giving a name. After all, he didn't ask.

"Not always, though for some it's their livelihood, while it's a hobby for others," he says, with a wry smile. "So who's the woman warrior I got the honor of addressin'?" he asks.

tomboy_22 October 9 2010, 20:14:20 UTC

Woman warrior. Snerk. "-- The Executioner," she replies blandly, and well, it is one of her titles, so.

mal_badinlatin October 9 2010, 23:55:22 UTC

Hookay... He's not wary, but that title gives him some cause for concern. "Quite a handle..." he says, impressed in a "Whoa, remind me not to get on your bad side, miss" sort of way.

tomboy_22 October 10 2010, 06:13:52 UTC

"It does the job. Half of being who I am is about the rep."

mal_badinlatin October 14 2010, 05:07:02 UTC

"Same's true of anyone, 'specially those who work rough territory," he says. "I'm Malcolm Reynolds, or just Mal for short."

tomboy_22 October 14 2010, 05:26:21 UTC

"Anita Blake," she finally volunteers. "What's your field?"

mal_badinlatin October 14 2010, 05:45:43 UTC

"Shipping, mostly," he ventures, cannily. "Gotta small ship of m' own anna crew. Anyone got cargo they want moved to another planet, or they're tryin' to get from one end of the 'Verse to another on their own time, I'm their man."

She strikes him as law enforcement, so he's not going to let on about the smuggling or the occasional petty theft jobs...

tomboy_22 October 14 2010, 19:24:01 UTC

Eyebrows. "Heh. Sounds like an expensive cab service," she points out. Pause.

"--- what century are you from, actually?"

mal_badinlatin October 16 2010, 01:28:22 UTC

"It was 2511 when I fell asleep yesterday," he says. "This place in some kinda time slip whosiwhatzit, or whatever they call 'em? I ain't too big on learnin'. Never was."
