Inara was lucky to run into Kaylee the moment she'd stepped out of her room. Amongst a small group of girls that was quickly beginning to disperse, it seemed the mechanic was intent on staying and waiting for the Captain. A wise choice, if Inara wasn't worried enough that Mal hadn't found his way here just yet.

"Kaylee," she called softly as she approached, flashlight and radio in hand. She hadn't found a suitable, makeshift weapon as of yet. "Mal hasn't arrived yet, has he?" The Companion tried to sound as level-headed and calm as she could. It was hard not to sound worried, but she'd been schooled for this.
