Dear River, girl dont be so sad your ship is flying again and I dont mind muddle me and Mattie look forward to your letters. Going further into the black will be good for you youll see. Im sorry about Fifi but maybe it was meant so she and Kaylee could be company together you listen to the others you did the best you could theyre alive because of you remember Love Ellen
Dear Ellen,
We’re back and flush with coin! It is a wonderful sensation. In the spirit of the occasion the Captain has said we can have shore time.
We need the break Ellen; everyone has worked so hard, me included. I have discovered an affinity for electrical work and have been delegated to help Kaylee. Of course I have done some wiring before, particularly after Miranda, but this is the first time I’ve been involved in both the planning and the doing. It’s very satisfying to see the plan turn into reality and I enjoy what Kaylee calls ‘fiddling with the wires.’ Fifi was my companion in this and even helps by carrying some of my lighter tools.
She has recovered faster than Kaylee has. My friend is still in pain and has fought off infections twice. We are all worried for her. All the other crew members are well, your son included and you were right. Going out further into the Black has restored me, my brain is not currently addled.
Thank you for the comfort, it is warming and sustaining, I welcome it always.
Love River
Dear River, earning your own money is always good you enjoy it. Mattie and me went on a trip and had a great time it makes me think of you people always seeing new places. What a wonder that would be. Im glad youre feeling better and Fifi too Love Ellen
Dear Ellen
Did you like your wrap? Kaylee and I took pity on the lion and helped him choose it. We had many arguments about colour and style. It exasperated the sales people mightily. Mother would disapprove. One must always conduct oneself with decorum you know.
I enjoyed my mornings outing with Kaylee so much. She makes everything fun, it is her talent I think.
Some of us went out again in the evening. Zoë doesn’t leave Serenity often, and couldn’t be persuaded to come. I did ask her, but she just smiled and sat with her ghost. Jayne is uncomfortable with the cuddling and departed for a less thinking venue.
I wish I had gone with him Ellen because then much of the uncomfortableness would have been avoided. I know Kaylee and even Jayne may have told you some of what occurred, so I won’t repeat it. Except to say that – I wished they trusted me; the Captain and Simon that is. It’s the lack of trust that upsets me most, that and the shouting and arguments.
I caused distress to my two friends Inara and Kaylee and I didn’t mean to. Proving I am an untrustworthy little girl I ran away from the chaos and worried them further. I’m not a good friend. The lion found me and persuaded me to come back. He manipulated me! How can that be? I’m smarter than he is, my apologies Ellen.
The atmosphere on the ship is unsettling at the moment. Kaylee and Simon are fighting and I am confused. I long for your counsel.
Love River
River girl youre not untrustworthy or a bad friend those two men did the wrong thing out of love for you and are probably paying for it. Your friends were only upset for you not about you dont worry about it talk to them. Couples fight girl theres always misunderstandings. Youre smarter than my boy yes but hes wily and got experience don’t forget tell me how did he trick you? I love my wrap purple is my favourite colour. Love Ellen
Dear Ellen,
I spoke to both Kaylee and Inara and they reassured me. They don’t think me a bad friend. I’m so relieved. Zoë was angry on my behalf and spoke coolly to the Captain. He was really just being his protective self, I realise that now and since he has apologised I feel a little better.
I’m happy you liked your wrap and I love the gift you sent! Fifi is wearing her coat as I write. It suits her; she’s so pretty in it. My bracelet is beautiful too. I wear it everyday to remind me of you and the happy times at your home.
Your boy tricked me easily. He played on my emotional attachment to Fifi. I didn’t think to bring food for her with me Ellen, I just ran out. I had no money either. I could have stolen some of course; but it was pointed out to me that a girl and a beagle may have difficulties being stealthy and I agreed. He had no difficulty persuading me to come back to the ship in order to feed my companion, and of course, once there Kaylee surrounded me with love and I had no wish to run away again. Wily, experienced men are not to be trusted.
We’ve completed another job successfully, earning much coin in the process. Kaylee cried when everyone gave their cut to help her. She doesn’t realise how much her caring, happy spirit helps us all and we want to help her in return.
I’m worried about her. She’s very anxious about her position on Serenity and also about her relationship with my brother. Although they are back together again, they are very wary with each other. Simon isn’t good at arguing back, except with the Captain or Jayne, instead he goes silent and ignores the problem if possible. Kaylee likes to talk things out, to shout and make up. I want them to be happy.
We have a freight job to finish and then we’re heading straight to you again. I am practising my potato cake making in anticipation. We will arrive in two weeks, six days, five hours, 30 minutes and twenty-five seconds. This time I’m specific Ellen, we need to help Kaylee as soon as possible.
Love River
Dear River, Ill look after your friend dont worry you gotta realise that sometimes folks that love each other dont end up together. Im looking forward to the potato cakes and have arranged for a dance here Matties lined up lots of young bucks to partner you Love Ellen
