He answered honestly, resting his head gently against his sister's own head, his left hand moving gingerly up and down her back with his fingertips, lightly scratching to help her relax a bit. "She'll be fine; she's got about a day or five in her current state....but the faster we get to where we're going, the better." he said. With that he let Serenity weep as much as she wanted into his shoulder and turned his attention to Lance.

"Red's only know pain and fear; I learned who manipulated them into doing this to her, and what they were after. Red's love to torture; they don't need a reason for it; but for this...they had one." he explained in a soft tone, albeit one that meant business.

"Portal's open Captain, we should arrive in thirty minutes tops."

He pressed the button again and smiled. "Very good. I'll be up in ten."

With that he looked to Serenity, an unspoken question of what she wanted to do being asked. She could stay with her sister, or she could return to the bridge with Mark.
