[The feed flickers a few times as Inara pokes at her phone a few times. Finally it steadies and Inara shakes her head.]
Bàoqiàn. I'm sorry, I'm still attempting to get use to these communication devices.
[She settles back and offers a charming smile before briefly dipping her head.]
Nín hǎo? For those of you I've failed to meet, I'm Inara Serra and still relatively new here. [She draws in a deep breath before continuing on.] Now I know that there are a great deal of you came from Earth, and while I find that truly fascinating and would love to hear some of your stories concerning it, I'm interested in knowing just where everyone else comes from.
I ask because though my ancestors come from Earth, though, no one has lived on Earth for centuries. I was born and raised on a planet called Sihnon. I trained there as well but before coming here, I'd spent a good year traveling between the different planets and various moons of our system.
[She takes a small sip of her tea before giving a brief nod of her head. She might have borrowed a teapot and some cups.]
I can't offer much, but I've only just made a fresh pot of tea and I'd be willing to share it with anyone who wouldn't mind telling me about where they come from.

He listens to her explanation, and of course his mind immediately goes right where you would expect it to, given her words. The way she explains it very carefully and deliberately tells him she's used to a negative reaction, but for what it's worth, he doesn't really have the unsavory associations with her profession that a lot of people apparently do. Radiant Garden was always big on personal freedom of expression, and he had been raised with the idea that love was love, and so long as everyone was enjoying themselves, there was nothing inherently shameful about, uh. Loving multiple people. Or getting paid for it, for that matter. So he just smiles a little.]
'Companion', huh? That's a nice word for an underappreciated service. I didn't realize there were like... fancy schools for that sort of thing.
no worries! I'm slow due to some teeth issues. :)
Well, they teach many things before anything of an intimate nature is taught. A Companion must be able to read their clients and know what they want and need. They have to be able to move through different circles and hold conversations all on their own. It's not easy and not everyone finishes their training.
