Summary: You're a void, something I can't penetrate
Impenetrable
There is a void, it hovers all around him. The others on board have a feel, a taste, a smell all their own. Kaylee's mind is like strawberries on a warm summer day, and Wash's like a puppet show vibrating with children's laughter. Spike is a blank canvas, scarred and frayed beyond recognition. He is proof, solid, but his mind is missing.
She's never met the blissful quiet, not since two by two, hands of blue meddled where they ought have not. He is a blank wall, untapped silence. The world is peaceful in his steely gaze. His mind is at peace, but his eyes dance with the untapped, unending violence that he would breathe, if he could. She finds peace in the void. Peace through violence's embrace. He is the barrier they sought to break, only to come away untouched.
