[ Inara comes into view with a smile, as always. She’s very confident sitting there in her suite, hands in her lap and a few candles burning behind her for ambience. She is the picture of calm and poise and looks entirely at ease.

Inside, though – Inara is boiling. Inara is Not Happy about several things, but there are…certain experiences best not ‘advertised’ on a public network.

But boy is she pissed about being fired, then threatened on the way home.

ANYWAY. ]

I have decided to open the Companion House that is located in the Fire Sector earlier than I originally planned. [ read: Inara got fired, and needs another source of income. ]

If you are interested or require more information as to what a Companion is and does, please let me know and I will forward you directions and information. [ Inara learned a valuable lesson: make a pamphlet. Repeating herself explaining the intricacies of Companionship was quite taxing. ]

I am also taking applications for those that would like to enroll in Companion training as well. [ Inara smiles, but her eyes are decidedly sharper here. ] This is not an endeavor lightly chosen. It is a life choice – a career, and the training is intense and not limited to intimacy. I will personally speak [ interrogate ] to any interested party.

[Good question is good.]

Maybe. Except people haven't much been fond of me, so why should I be fond of them?

[Can't she just lie or something?]

The training helps some in this regard, but it's been my experience that people can come to reflect back what we give them. It's remarkable how much we can alter a person's attitude with a calm and unflappable manner.

Hopefully giving people kindness will cause them to mirror it, thusly creating a more accepting, positive and tolerant outlook.

[That's solid and sensible -- and that's probably why she has a hard time accepting it for what it's worth and what it means.]

Back home, we just save their asses from the hotseat and hoped that did the trick.

[She crosses her arms.]

Maybe I'm not so hot of a choice then. People never were kind to me before Xavier, so -- [Shrug.]
