The why series

Just a small series of the main question each character has. With a little poem attached.

Why….


Inara

Why when all I wish to do

Is run and hide

Does your voice beckon me?

Back to your side.

Why…. Why didn't I leave when I had the chance? There had been plenty of times for me to return to the gild, I had made a promise to the other companions.

Looking at them, this mismatched crew I begin to understand. And not for the first time did I notice that this mismatched crew isn't in fact mismatched, my trained eye should have seen it long before now. They balanced each other out, their individual colours not clashing but complementing each other.

Why had I let them burrow so deep beneath my skin… my heart? Smiling now, staring at them recovering from their hurt. I've met people with far better manners, taste and social skills… well just better about everything else, but I have yet to meet people so devote to their belief, and not a belief in something or some higher power.

No these people… this crew… this family… my family had a strong belief that you can't but help to be pulled back, they believed in each other so deeply that it overwhelms the senses.

And I wouldn't have it any other way… to feel for the crew of serenity you have to be taken over by those feelings.

Why… well that was a different question, I've just answered one; in fact I had answered two but the rest could wait because my family are waiting for me.
