Season 2, Episode 16. Birthday

[blue_shields]

... two years is a really long time to have been here.

It doesn't feel like it's been nearly that long.

I'm not sure if this is something I should mourn or celebrate, to be honest. I've been pretty lucky here, at least- I have Inara, I have my job, I have a purpose. That's good enough for me.

Happy birthday, Mr. Sky!

[moe-rapier.livejournal.com]

Hear hear. Happy Birthday, Sky.

If you're not sure, I say you should celebrate. Happy cocoonday!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Rosalind.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I'm starting to think that celebrating would be a better option.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Are you going to do anything special to celebrate?

[gene-driver.livejournal.com]

You're not interested in returning to your original world?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I've already been out to lunch with Bridge; I might spend the night with Inara tonight, if she's willing.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

It's not that, exactly- Bridge and I got taken back there once. It's more like I've been here so long, I feel so- disconnected from it.

[gene-driver.livejournal.com]

I see. [He briefly wonders if that will happen to him as well, but disregards the notion]

[Pen tap] You know Head Scavenger Bridge?

[spandexisyouth]

I think it is good? There are a lot of birthdays happening right now.

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Mr. Sky, you shouldn't say things like that in public! It's embarrassing!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I have had a lot of good things happen to me here.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's my best friend. We came from the same world.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

... what, that I'm going to go see my girlfriend?

scribbled over quickly because apparently she's ms. propriety XD

[blindedmewith.livejournal.com]

Spending the night!

Or—OH. Unless you just meant the evening.

[spandexisyouth]

Then it is certainly good.

[galacticgeisha.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday darling.

[gene-driver.livejournal.com]

[He's somewhat surprised by the answer]

Despite the dangers here, it's mostly fortunate that he's here with you.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Thank you, beautiful.

You free this evening?

lol and Sky's like "sure, let's go with that"

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I do like spending time with her. Maybe a nice dinner or something...

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. We arrived within a few weeks of each other, actually.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

It's enough to balance out the bad, I think.

[spandexisyouth]

I think so as well.
