[Contrary to popular belief, Mal will call for help when he thinks it's necessary. He just doesn't think it's necessary all that often. This, though? When he's not sure if he can make it from his office to the clinic?

He needs help.]

Gonna need... [A pause, and a cough.] ... need a hand

Wǒde tiān! [Inara's already out the door, cursing under her breath as she makes her way toward Mal's place. She keeps casting anxious glances at her tablet, hoping that maybe Mal will hear her.]

Mal? You hang in there! I'm on my way.

[Give him a moment to respond; there are spiders everywhere and he's feeling a little... dizzy.]

Ain't dyin'. [Maybe.] Over near guard HQ.

You're forever not dying. [It's true, don't deny it. She sighs, and quickens her pace. This should tell you something, Mal! She's forever running to help you.] I'll be there in as quickly as I can.

And I ain't dead yet. [So logically, he must be not dying now. Try to keep up, Inara.] Think it's the spider bite.

[Actually he's pretty sure he has conclusive evidence, judging by how hot and painful the bite itself feels.]

Sounds like you got bit by one of the nastier ones. Whereabouts are you, or has your friend got you taken care of?

[It's a bit before he answers.] Callin' it good.

You must forgive me then if I don't rush to your side with a basket of fruit and and balloons. Though if the bites give you trouble, you're welcome to an Esuna.

Keep the fruit and I have no idea what you're talkin' about.

[She doesn't ask if he is okay. He obviously isn't.]

Where are you?

[aint_comin_back]

Makin' a way toward the clinic.

[nurse1701]

What are your symptoms? Is it a bite?

[aint_comin_back]

Thinkin' so.
