In the Layered Dark
{Firefly FPS. G. Kaylee/Inara. 100% disclaimed.}
Inara looked around the planet, dusty rock sprouting the occasional shrubbery, and glanced at Kaylee. Then she saw what Kaylee was looking at.
Serenity stood out against the night sky, and light twinkled in the ravine below. A cloud was obscuring half the stars, throwing shadows into shadows. Inara gazed at the ship in the layered dark.
“Yes. It’s really quite something.”
Kaylee shivered. “Do you think they’ll be alright?” Inara slipped her arm around her waist, pulling the two closer together.
“They’ll be fine. Mal knows what he’s doing.”
Kaylee leaned into her. “I hope so.”
Inara said nothing. So do I.
