"You look beautiful, Kaylee." Inara handed the younger girl a mirror and stood back to admire her handy work.
"Thanks, 'Nara, couldn't have done it without ya." Kaylee smiled. "I appreciate you gettin' me all dolled up. Cap'n said I needed to get away from Serenity 'fore I broke her."
"You are always welcome here, Kaylee." Inara nodded, watching the woman move the mirror from side to side, loving her reflection.
"I look so pretty…" Kaylee said, breathlessly. After a moments pause, Inara realized that Kaylee wasn't just admiring her new look, she was comparing it to her old one, picking out all of her flaws.
Inara took a step forward, gently pushed the mirror away and kissed the newly painted lips. "You have always looked pretty. You don't need any of this to make you look beautiful, I love you most when you are covered in grease. Do you know why?" Inara received a shrug and a small shake of the head. "You don't? That's when you are happiest, that's when you shine."
