Inara’s visit is even more interesting…

A green-eyed Android is standing by the side of the pad as she lands – he comes forward as she gets out, looks her over very strangely, and then says, “Good afternoon. Lady Inara, I presume? My name is David. Please follow me, and please excuse me in advance if I say anything out of place. I am not familiar of the protocols between humans. The Master rarely receives visitors.”

Inara says, “So I have been led to believe. I’m quite honoured that he wishes to meet me.”

The Android looks quizzical; “Honoured?” but says no more. In fact, David avoids all chances of errors in protocol, whatever he may have thought them to be, by simply being silent for the rest of the walk.

They step into an absolutely immense hall with a lone man at the extreme far end behind a desk, so far away it’s difficult to make out much about him, even his size, and David A announces, “Master Allen, I have the honour of presenting Mistress Inara, as you have requested.” He then turns and hurries away, leaving the two humans staring at each other from a distance.

Inara begins to walk toward the man, who immediately seems to shrink into the wall behind him before saying; “Please, come no closer. I know you are used to this degree of intimacy, but I am not. I find another human so close very disturbing.”

Inara cannot help but ask; “Close? Intimacy?” This room is larger than that used for formal balls on most worlds! With hundreds of people!”

The man shudders, and looks like he’d shrink even further into the wall if such a thing were possible; “Please, don’t talk – of such things – and please stop where you are!”

Inara has been walking closer, but she’s still further away than the length of Serenity ’s cargo bay. She finds a chair, and sits. “Alright, I’ll sit here. I gather I’m not here because you want to hire me at my profession -” The little man shudders; “so what would you like us to do while I’m here?”

Allen shudders again; “Well, maybe this is a bad idea.” Inara shrugs
