"Are you there?"
Inara was surprised to hear that voice ask such a question.
"Uh," she held the hem of her dress as she stood up. "Yes. Come in."
He came through the door with a hand covering his eyes, "I s'pose your visitor's gone then."
Inara moved towards him, "Visitor?"
"Your client, Mr..." He peeked through his fingers, "Or was it Miss?"
"Mal," Inara sighed.
"Miss Mal?" He grinned, "Good name."
Inara pushed against his arm and he dropped his hand from his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Inara smirked.
Mal stepped back, "Just checking that you're alright again."
