Beggar

The next time they make planetside after Wash dies, Mal goes out and gets himself good and soused.

That night, he staggers home to Serenity and falls to his knees before Zoe, arms spread wide to beg for forgiveness, or, perhaps, to welcome her wrath.

He stares at her with red-rimmed eyes, and there are no words passed between them, as their way so often is.

After a while, she kneels in front of him and rests her forehead against his. He knows she knows how he feels. Zoe always knows.

He closes his eyes and hopes it's enough.

Knows it isn't.
