The Flagship [OPEN]
Wash rarely went anywhere but the bridge of the Quarter - the whole thing felt creepily like an Alliance ship and the bridge was a smaller space, easier to deal with after Serenity's tight places.
Not that it was much better on the bridge. Wash sometimes felt like he was in a vast fishbowl, standing out on the end of the bridge. It was built in the thrust, three sides surrounded by air and railings. Luckily the consoles were high enough that no-one was likely to get vertigo.
Wash went straight to his station, running his hand over the console. Even in a ship this high-tech they knew that the pilot had to feel her to fly.
"She's not my first love but she's well enough," he said.

"Shit yeah, been wondering how Jayne was gonna take all this. Kaylee said she was gonna talk to him."
He then nodded, "Yeah, yeah I am. I'm serious. I've never had anything this good before. I don't want to screw it up with her like everything else in my life."

"You've got nothing to worry about, really. You'll have a shiny fun wedding with lots of wine and everything will work out. I'll let Jayne know not to shoot you."
He wasn't even a little bit kidding.

"Trust me? If you had my kind of luck? You'd worry."
He then added about Jayne, "Yeah thanks."

Dammit Dean. Wash didn't want to watch him dance around Kaylee because he was afraid of what might happen. Not when Kaylee could be happy.

"Cursed is right. Whole family's been cursed to have too damn interesting lives. I'm happy with her, just keep expecting the other shoe to drop though."
He then shrugged, "Eh, maybe I should give the apple pie life a try. Probably only shot I'd get at it."

The translator would get it, of course, but it was something formal enough to need Chinese. Old habits died hard.
[1. Congratulations on your engagement, and good luck with all that lies ahead.]

"Yeah, sure she'll be happy to hear."
