Does anyone have any guesses about her past? It was strongly hinted at with the thing everyone assumed was a suicide kit and when she spoke to Simon saying "I don't want to die at all" and when Nandi was telling Mal about her. (Wow run-on sentance anyone?) Does anyone have any ideas what she is running from or running too?

INARA DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CRY AFTER MAL SLEPT WITH NANDI
*hides from the various implements of distruction now heading my way* In part, I agree, in part I don't. I'm torn on the issue. Neither made any kind of commitment, and Inara does sleep with other people, as her job. However, she keeps that side of her life professional, and doesn't get emotionally involved with her customers. I think she's in love with him because he doesn't come to her for an 'appointment.' He sees her as a woman, not just as a companion, where most of her clients see her only for the 'service' she provides. She can't help being hurt though, because she is in love with him, but she knows if she wants to keep doing her job, she can't promise Mal anything. She wants something she can't have unless she gives up everything. It's a little like Moulin Rouge in that sense.

Not that this has anything to do with nandi, but didn't Nathan and Joss mention Moulin Rouge in the commentary on the pilot episode? surprised

Everytime I watch, someone else who doesn't want to hear it is there. I'm going to here soon, as it's getting colder.

INARA DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CRY AFTER MAL SLEPT WITH NANDI
*hides from the various implements of distruction now heading my way*
In any case, I disagree. Inara never told Mal that he could not to sleep with other women or that he had any obligation to her at all. She was always very clear on the fact that she wanted to keep their relationship strictly professional, even if it seemed obvious that she felt very strongly for him. And she does feel very strongly for him, which is why I think she had the right to cry. She wasn't complaining to him about it, or trying to make him feel bad. She was crying when she was alone. Really - what is wrong with that? It's obvious that she does want to be with him even if she feels that is a line that can't be crossed, and even if she won't allow it to happen, it still hurt her to know that he was with someone else.
Additionally, one might argue that she doesn't have the right to cry because she has sex fairly often. My opinion on this is that she looks at her job as a companion as just that - a job. It is something more intimate and personal for Mal when he has sex with Nandi (not to say he was in love with her, by any means, but it was still more than "just his job"), and I think that's what she really gets upset over - not the sex.

*hides from the various implements of distruction now heading my way*
Yes I actually do think that. River__Tam In any case, I disagree. Inara never told Mal that he could not to sleep with other women or that he had any obligation to her at all. She was always very clear on the fact that she wanted to keep their relationship strictly professional, even if it seemed obvious that she felt very strongly for him. Exactly my point. She is clear to him that she wants it to be entirely professional. Men are simple creatures. I should know. If a guy likes a girl and she makes it clear that she won't be with him, he either turns ito a creepy stalker or tries to let the girl go out of respect. He waited for her for far too long. I know they are a good pairing and they should be together buy if Innara can't allow herself to be with him, then why should he have to be alone and miserable? River__Tam And she does feel very strongly for him, which is why I think she had the right to cry. She wasn't complaining to him about it, or trying to make him feel bad. She was crying when she was alone. Really - what is wrong with that? It's obvious that she does want to be with him even if she feels that is a line that can't be crossed, and even if she won't allow it to happen, it still hurt her to know that he was with someone else. If she feels so much for him that she cries when he sleeps with someone else, maybe she should realise how much it would have hurt Mal every time she went off to pleasure someone. Yes it's her job, but it doesn't have to be. She could be ANYTHING she wanted because she is trained in many things. If she loved him she would be able to let her title of companion go and take on a job that allowed her to be with the man she loved. I just can't stand girls who say one thing and mean another. It's just not fair. Here is how it happened (from a guy's point of view anyway) Inarra Let's just be professional I'll never be with you There is nothing between us Mal ...fine crying *sleeps with someone else* Inarra I'm so happy for you. Really. I'm glad you slept with someone ... crying WHY DOESN'T HE LOVE ME!?

My point is she never asked Mal to wait for him. She never intended to give him any indication that she was interested in becoming involved with him. For me, it'd be one thing if she complained to him about how he shouldn't have slept with Nandi because she loved him or something equally as ridiculous. But she didn't. She tried to act as normal as possible about it and only allowed herself to show how upset she was about it when she was alone.
If it were that easy, she would quit being a companion. But it's not. She was raised to be a companion - it's not what she is, it's who she is. It would be like asking Kaylee to stop being a mechanic or Simon to stop being a doctor or Mal to stop... well, being Mal. I also read in an interview that even when she isn't working, she doesn't stop becoming a companion. So... it is a very integral part of who she is.
And the situation with Mal and Nandi was very much an eye opener for her. Before then, I think she believed she was capable of not letting her emotions get in the way of their "professional" relationship. But after that incident, I think she realized she wouldn't be able to continue living that way, and that's why she left.
I also think it is irritating when girls say one thing and mean another. Or guys say one thing and mean another, because it has been in my experience that guys are just as capable of that. However, I don't see that as the case here. She didn't say one thing and mean another. She meant exactly what she said. She didn't want romantic feelings to get in the way, and when they did, she left.

Inara isn't as tough as Mal. Mal may not cry about it, but it still hurts him, which I think is why he degrades her job. He's somewhat passive-aggressive, and he handles his emotions differently than Inara. That's why Inara cries, she doesn't know how to deal with it.
