There are times when Mal wonders what his life has become.
Caught up amongst his crew's business, it's a far cry from a ranch on Shadow, or a war for independence.
Zoe and Wash bickering; little River throwing a fit; Kaylee needing money they don't have for engine parts he doesn't understand, and all Jayne can talk about is his gorram grenades.
Still, they are family, even when Mal's head aches, his stitches pull, there's no job, and the air con isn't working.
Worst comes to worst, they'll make it through alright, just so long as they are still flying.
