"Clearly dumb ass decisions must run in your family then, but just because dear old dad isn't around to make them doesn't mean you have to volunteer. We are not a team.

Do you?"

Raising her voice slightly, Serenity turned to the rest of the group. "It does sound like we are all going in the same direction, and there are safety in numbers. But if we want to travel together safely as a group, we have to work together. And that means no one gets to elect themselves leader and then toss out anyone who doesn't grovel at their feet."
