( as inara remained there seated, she brought a pause to her movements to fully turn her body towards harold and gave him the attention he deserved in this moment. this might have been a paid session but if there was one thing inara had noticed from most of her clients was they weren't just there for the sexual nature of her work;
no most of them sought something they couldn't find elsewhere. a type of comfort that no one else could understand and if they could, it was the kind of pain they couldn't share with people they knew. the familiarity felt too vulnerable, it was easier to turn to a stranger, and it was something inara understood far too well.
as he spoke, she immediately agreed within her mind that he did seem privateβ after all, he'd been quite discreet in contacting her and while she was in no rush to make him do anything beyond what he felt comfortable with, there was a still energy in the room. thankfully he seemed to buoy it with that little quip.
so with a softer expression, she smiled at him and finally lifted her cup of tea. )
It's not a fault by the way, it's okay to feel lost and confused sometimes but I suppose I have a sharp eye.
( she's match his own humor with hers, but she's keeping a level of control here as well. )
Our world is quite large isn't it? Full of unknowns and inconceivable things....that's why I created this space to be like this. I can connect to the world on my own terms and still have somewhere to escape to and recover. Have you considered doing that?
( it could be here with her, continuing these sessions but even if he opted not to, she felt he could benefit from such a thing. a small space for him to escape to. )
