Inara and Malcolm, minus the hair

DB's introducing me to Firefly, and despite being of the nongeeky sort, I confess that I've become addicted. So when he came to my place for Thanksgiving vacation, it was only natural that our dinner and a movie evening included two episodes of Firefly, instead of the movie he went out to rent for us. (For the record, dinner was burritos thought of and prepped by my adorable BGRR. A completely awesome idea, btw.) There was lots of deep, thoughtful conversation and LOTS of makeup snuggling Also for the record, I've been going through shnuggles withdrawal from my better half. More specifically, it's withdrawal from the warm fuzzies I get just lying in his arms. That's your sappy moment for this post. Let's continue.... I guess it wasn't unexpected to have this turn into one of those, "aaaaaaaand where did that come from??" moments. We've been discussing the intricate differences between a Companion, and erm, modern pleasure women, when DB has a revelation. Courtesy of the episode "Shindig" and the ball scene.....

DB: You know, you really could pull off Inara. You look alot like her. and then he mumbles something about being gorgeous and exotic which the blushing snuggling on my part
Rose: Except I'd have no Malcolm. You don't have enough hair.

Apparently, I've picked up a new nickname. And he's got another sarcastic one. But what else is new?
