"We got comms?” Mal asked Zoe as they made their way from the bridge to the galley, both dressed to travel, checking sidearms and gear as they walked side by side down the corridor.
"We got 'em," she replied, buckling her gun belt. "Shuttle's prepped and ready," she added, though she knew he already knew that. It was part of their pre-job check, one they made before any work they took, and it was as comfortable and as regular as a ritual.
“Got the med kit,” he said, nodding in the direction of the duffle he carried, “and we’ll carry rations for five days. Ought’n to take more’n than a day or two to suss these fellas out – see what’s what down there worth doin’,” he said, his mind already on the meet.
Why did Mal have to go on *that* job on *that* day? *frowns* I think they're missing each other already, poor lovebirds...Looking forward to the next chapter - ok I'm officially hooked but It's all your fault guys!
Keep flying ;)
You can't take the sky from me
Can't remember if I commented on this portion elsewhere, but I really do love it. The interaction between everybody is perfect, the dialog sparkling. And so very sweet, all the way up to "what she said".
