She seemed to be calming down. That was good. Mal just wanted to make sure that she was okay. He was undoubtedly protective of her, though really so far he'd only been around for emotional support and the odd "plz don't die k" when something weird was afoot in the world at large. I'm gonna repeat myself like I always seem to. You're always free to come find me if you need company. Whatever he could do, he would.

Huh? Oh. Back to his personal issues. I will, soon. For real this time. Even if it still sounded weird and confusing when it came to actually doing so. Don't know what he'll say. But hopefully something different this time -- hopefully something good. Even if Mal was suspecting it'd be something bad, though he wasn't sure why. Probably lead back to the whole terrified of him thing. What would be the best response?  Mal didn't know. What would he want? He didn't know. A real smile might be nice, but that's as far as he thought.
