Zoe had her flashlight in her hand when she left her room. Once again she looked as if she could use it for light or for a weapon, whichever fancied her most at the moment.

It wasn't long before she spotted a familiar shape in the darkness. Even without the rich clothes Inara still seemed like one of the most beautiful women ever to grace existence with her presence. "Inara," Zoe said evenly, he face was cold and stony, though the expression wasn't directed at the Companion. This was just how she dealt with tough situations. "I'm plannin' on finding the Captain," she informed the other woman. "Care to come with me?" Even if Inara said no Zoe was planning on dragging her along anyway, but she figured she could pause enough to let the more dignified lady time to answer.
