And now Inara's gone. You know...

How 'bout them floods? them Sox? that Admiral? non-woolen trousers?

Fuck it. I'm just really gonna miss her. I'm really missing everyone who left actually.

Especially Inara. It's funny what kind of life you can wind up building here; the kind of life you thought had been taken from you forever.

What? Her leaving? Or finding out that you kind of have a life here?

Re: private

[actuallyagolem]

I'd rather have real life too, but for a while it felt like I had a chance at something close here. Maybe I let it slip away too.

[namorofthesea]

I am sorry to hear that. At least those who leave sometimes return.

[actuallyagolem]

She's left before, and I've left before, but we've come back. We've always come back.

But she left a letter this time. She's not coming back.

[namorofthesea]

I see.

[parttimejob]

People do that.

[actuallyagolem]

Yep. They do. I just didn't want her to go.

[parttimejob]

Just don't get attached. It works wonders.

[actuallyagolem]

But it wasn't all that bad, getting attached like that. I thought it'd be pointless, but the thought of not getting atttached sounds like Hell.

[mrs_persson]

Inara? Oh hell. I'm so sorry. I liked her.

[actuallyagolem]

Yeah. Yeah, so did I. I liked her a lot.

[mrs_persson]

Incredibly strong and kind, she is. I hope she comes back someday, but, well ... one never knows.

You were close, I gather.

[actuallyagolem]

I do too, but I won't hold it against her if she doesn't come back. I don't think I could.

I loved her. I hope she knew it.

[greatlightother]

I'm sorry your friend's gone.

[actuallyagolem]

Thanks. I'm going to miss her. She made this place just a little bit brighter.

[greatlightother]

This place needs a little brightening up sometimes. But...something will come around.

[actuallyagolem]

I hope something does, but I won't hold my breath right now. It's too soon anyway.
