One of the virtues of not being puritanical about sex is not feeling embarrassed afterwards.

To everyone who might have noticed my lacking presence, I have returned. I did not survive the fire, although I do thank you Wolverine. Your attempts to convince me not to assist you, and then your quick actions when the fire got worse probably minimized any pain I may have suffered. I do hope you fared better than I did

[Surprised blot, then her name is hastily written]

Inara?

[He writes it out again more slowly.]

Inara.

Yes. That... sounds right. It will take some getting used to, but I'd be happy to use your real name. And it is good to hear from you; I was afraid you'd been one of the casualties, but I'm not sure if you were ever found.

[galacticgeisha]

Yes, my actual name.

I hope in time you recover yours.

I was reborn with a new sibling, a lovely young man named River. I ended up down an elevator shaft, but thankfully I was reborn in one piece.

[pompous_today]

I do, as well. It IS a little frustrating to not be able to know my name yet. I am happy for you, though, Inara.

[Pen taps.]

I see. I'm glad you are alright, then. I was one of the ones who survived- whether that makes me fortunate or not depends on one's personal perspective- and have been at the clinic ever since it happened, treating the casualties.

If you want to talk, I can come and see you whenever you wish, as the clinic is now almost next door to the spa.

[galacticgeisha]

I'm sure it will come in time. Thank you, Will.

I do hope that you've been mindful of your body and it's cues, taking breaks when you need them. I would think those around you would appreciate you not pushing yourself.

I appreciate the invitation. Is it now? I've been in temporary housing while I get my bearings.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you

Your writing is a sight for sore eyes, beautiful. Not that seeing you in person wasn't enough, of course.

[galacticgeisha]

You have nothing to apologize for

I'm thankful to be able to write, darling. I'm pleased the Spa seems to have survived.

[blue_shields]

Okay.

It's good to have a place to go home to, then. Bridge's and my place survived with nothing but a little smoke damage, thankfully.

I'm getting off duty later if you're in the mood for company...

[esp_optimism]

You too

Inara. That's a very pretty name.

[galacticgeisha]

Thank you Medium.

[esp_optimism]

You're welcome

[metalandashes]

Glad you're okay.

Inara. It suits you.

[galacticgeisha]

And you, I was worried.

Thank you, Wolverine.

[lemonshine]

Welcome back!

[galacticgeisha]

Thank you, Lucy.
