It's more that the two of them came on board as travelers, almost out of nowhere, and asking about what came before is kind of like asking questions about Mal's past: you just don't do it. Mostly because it wouldn't exactly be tactful.
And now that it's almost -- almost -- safe to ask questions...she's leery. This is his business. He doesn't read the letters from her parents unless she offers. It's the same kind of thing.
