It's been...
Well.
Jack's been in and out--mostly out--and going about his business; helping out with the chores here and staying plenty with Sallie on Shadow. Now and again his minds drifts to Kaylee's offer of a bunk on Serenity, and hell if that ain't something he'd sure like. Not the bunk, exactly, just the serenity.
But even cowboys with the blues have got to get their fill of smokes and a drink or two, so Jack Twist sits at the bar with a bottle of beer and an ashtray's got two burnt-out cigarette butts in it already, and another looking like it's going to be joining them in the near future. And if he didn't walk in with quite the same spring to his step as he'd had once upon a time, well...
Sometimes things happen, you can't do much of anything to fix 'em. And you got to just keep on going, because at the very least there's always another smoke and another drink and maybe a friendly face or two around.
