009 ✈ isolation & instincts
[Inara]
I'm sure you've seen what is being said about me and I can't deny or defend any of it simply because I haven't seen it. Matt.. Matt is someone I trusted, so if he says that is what happens I can't really argue it.
My daughter, Claire [a pause] suggested I leave the castle for a while. Apparently she's concerned there might be an attempt on my life. While I'm not pleased with the idea of hiding, and I truly feel that if they want an eye for an eye then perhaps I should allow that, despite knowing it would be a hollow effort.
Still... I know you were upset the last time I left. I know that it's not even close to the same situation, but I am not going to allow you to believe that I've left again, and if anything should happen, if there is anything that would endanger you - I will be there if you want me to be. I won't let the level of anger in these people make me go back on my word to you. I've read that there is an Inn somewhere in town. I'll be there, and I'll have the journal but I will probably be out of contact except through filtered posts.
If you... [heavy sigh] If you'd rather me not... not contact you because of this I'll understand.

I'm sure you feel as if you've been betrayed again, now that Matt has told you what happened to Daphne. I wouldn't have allowed that to happen. If it happened -- then I wasn't informed of it.
Claire suggested I leave the castle. I'll pull my name off the door, head for the Inn somewhere in the City. I'll have my journal if you need anything.
I don't want to hide from this, but I don't want Claire in danger... or you for that matter either. I'm telling Inara, Ma, and you. Claire already knows.

[Ma]
Tell me it gets better... that I didn't know, that you believe I would've done something if I had known. That I wouldn't have allowed that mistreatment to happen.
[a sigh]
I'm going to leave the castle. It's for the best Claire thinks. I think it's what a coward would do, and that if they want to come I should just let them. Claire thinks otherwise, and she's been here longer.
If you need me... I'll have the journal. Pete, Claire and Inara know I'm not really gone, in case those that see the missing nameplate -- assume things.
