I thank you very much for the compliments Branwen and I too am truly looking forward to this.  As for Serenity herself, if a few things do go missing, when she figures out who's taking them, she'll just smile about it and have a friendly talk with the poor girl and well, probably let her keep a few of her lesser worn items if nothing else happens between them lol.  Point being, while this kind of thing probably never happened before, it'll make for an amusing story with her friends back home and a most likely tender, heartwarming moment between her and Elfie which no one will hear about if the Verse is willing.
