Wash raked his hand through his hair and blew out a long breath. Eva seemed bound and determined to stay here and beat herself up about the whole thing. Once someone was trying to kill him, all bets were off as far as he was concerned, but from what Eva said that wasn't the problem.

She didn't feel guilty about killing the guy, that much was clear. Wash wouldn't feel guilty either. Eva seemed more like she was here because her conscience told her she should be here doing penance of some kind, or else she wasn't an adjusted human being.

"I don't think jail has been very good to you," Wash said. She looked awful, something he'd avoided mentioning until now. "Or you haven't been very good to yourself. If you need to work on controlling your temper, there are better places to meditate on the smudgy parts of your soul."
