Season 2, Episode 16. Birthday

[blue_shields]

... two years is a really long time to have been here.

It doesn't feel like it's been nearly that long.

I'm not sure if this is something I should mourn or celebrate, to be honest. I've been pretty lucky here, at least- I have Inara, I have my job, I have a purpose. That's good enough for me.

Happy birthday, Mr. Sky!

[blue_shields]

Thank you, Rosalind.

[blindedmewith]

Are you going to do anything special to celebrate?

[blue_shields]

I've already been out to lunch with Bridge; I might spend the night with Inara tonight, if she's willing.

[moe_rapier]

Hear hear. Happy Birthday, Sky.

[blue_shields]

Thank you.

[feathered_earth]

If you're not sure, I say you should celebrate. Happy cocoonday!

[blue_shields]

Thanks.

I'm starting to think that celebrating would be a better option.

[inthecenterfold]

I was gonna say that too.

If you've got all that... nothing left to do but have some fun, right?

[blue_shields]

Of course.

[gene_driver]

You're not interested in returning to your original world?

[blue_shields]

It's not that, exactly- Bridge and I got taken back there once. It's more like I've been here so long, I feel so- disconnected from it.

[gene_driver]

I see. [He briefly wonders if that will happen to him as well, but disregards the notion]

[Pen tap] You know Head Scavenger Bridge?

[blue_shields]

Yeah, he's my best friend. We came from the same world.

[spandexisyouth]

I think it is good? There are a lot of birthdays happening right now.

[blue_shields]

I have had a lot of good things happen to me here.

[spandexisyouth]

Then it is certainly good.

[blue_shields]

It's enough to balance out the bad, I think.
