this might be surprising, but I canβt say I have any connection to this earth. itβs far before my time and everything is very new to me. the one good thing is they actually have good tea in the shops around here.
so how about you come by the apartments? my βhusbandβ and βchildβ arenβt around today. weβll have the whole place to ourselves.
( within minutes, sheβs sending her address to mal and the best way to get there via the subway. )
You got it! I'll be there with metaphorical bells on.
[Though when she does arrive, it's with a bottle of wine under her arm. It's a tea visit, but she's learned enough of the social graces that you don't come empty-handed the first time.]
( in the meantime, inara began to clean and organize the apartment in preparation to mal's arrival. it technically wasn't her real home, but she'd put time and effort into decorating it and making it seem like a comfortable place to be. her rather rude 'husband' was gone most of the time, while her daughter was just a bit too tiny to make too much of a mess but there certainly was quite a bit to clean up after her.
by the time she did arrive, inara opened the door while wearing a long silk gown, a flowy shawl on her shoulders and a soft smile on her face. )
Welcome, glad to see you made it in one piece. Please come inβ
Ah you brought wine? How kind of you, really.
( she held her arms out, to take the bottle to properly serve them both with it. )
[She nods, offering it over and stepping in. Inara was...she'd thought she spoke in a classy manner. Turns out she looked and moved like nobility. Like Leia Organa did, on the official holovids - like everything had a purpose and was in its place. But like it was natural, not put on. A hard combination, she felt.]
[Which is part of why she carefully removes her boots, so as not to get any dirt anywhere.]
Oh, nothing to it, felt right. I don't get to, you know, visit people often.
