Lol I ain't that volatile so no worries.  ;D  It's more if he slaps her in public or something similar is when you might need to fear for your life, but otherwise some simple reprimands and the like are ok as far as how I plan to play Serenity anyway.  Beyond that I will try to be a bit more relaxed though since even I am starting to wonder if I'm playing her a bit too unyielding regarding the whole slave thing, but otherwise I'll keep what you said in mind Klaus.
