Inara Serra | Firefly | ota

[suoxi]

[ ....this is totally Mal's fault in some way. ]

[drunqualified]

[No doubt. But that doesn't make it a bad idea for those lucky enough to catch sight of the pretty lady standing by the second rate booth.]

...I can't believe there isn't a line a mile long here. [Bones is in a particularly good mood this evening, this particular planet seems to remind him an awful lot of home.]

[suoxi]

[ Inara smiles at him, folding her hands together in front of her. ]

Well, then I suppose it's your lucky day. [ The smile is warm and genuine, and she gestures. c'mon, you know you want to. ]

[drunqualified]

[Laughing a little, Bones gives into the promise of that smile far more easily than he should. He fishes out what passes for currency on this planet. Unfamiliar with handling money, he just makes a rough guess and sets it down on the table top.]

There is no arguing with that.

[suoxi]

Certainly not.

[ Inara's lips twitch a little; she's trying very hard not to smile too broadly. ]

Are you sure you want to donate that amount?

[drunqualified]

Are you implying that the kiss might not be worth it? [Teasing her, Bones leans forward, elbow on the table. Playing up the part of love-struck schoolboy because she seems like she has a good sense of humor as well.]

I can always just say it's for the good of the cause. [Which was what? Orphanages? Food banks? The space western version of a kickstarter maybe? Bones didn't even think to ask.]

[suoxi]

[ Oh, she likes him. He's got a sense of humor -- that's always a plus. ]

The insinuation never crossed my mind. [ Smile turning a little coy, she drops the amount into her little jar, then leans forward, eyes twinkling. ]

[drunqualified]

[Leaning in to meet her, he only stops just short to deliver one last line.] Possibly the best idea in philanthropy that anyone's ever come up with.

[The kiss, for all the good humor, is far more polite than assuming.]

[suoxi]

Isn't it just?

[ Inara presses it a little more than polite -- after all, he had given her a considerable sum, aware of it or not.

It was only fair he got what he paid for, right? ]

[drunqualified]

[Seems only fair.

The effect being that when he pulls back he does have to take a deep breath.]

Well. That was worth every bit. [He takes a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure he wasn't holding up a line, and then pulls out another sum of money.] ..no rule against getting two, is there?

[suoxi]

Mmm. Good.

[ Leaving him breathless was certainly the goal, and it appears she has succeeded.

So much so, in fact, he's asking for seconds. Inara chuckles and gestures, smile wide and cheeks a little pink. ]

Not at all. By all means, let us continue, Mr...?

[drunqualified]

McCoy. [Another succession of clinks on the table, and his grin just about mirrors her own.]

Leonard McCoy, ma'am. [If he had a had on, he'd tip it to her. Instead he straightens up for a proper kiss.]

[suoxi]

Inara Serra. It’s a pleasure, Mr. McCoy.

[ She’s actually getting up this time so that she has more maneuverability. She leans in, cups his face and draws him in, lips crushing sweetly against his own. The color on her lips is a mix of berries and exotic spices, and tastes similarly. ]

[captainbrowncoat]

[ ... something this cutesy is more Kaylee's idea. Mal just stood there watching Inara with a lopsided grin on his face. ] Never knew this to be your type of thing.

I mean a kiss? I suppose you need a break from that whorin' business of yours.

[suoxi]

If this wasn’t for charity, even a kiss would be out of your price range, Mal. [ winning smile! ]

[captainbrowncoat]

I ain't interested, but I'm interested in that little 'charity' of ours. [ Mal leaned himself over the counter, with a curious look on his face. ] Ain't nothin' like a little makin' a little extra money on the side.

So how much?

[suoxi]

[ . . . Inara casually sliiiiides her jar out of his reach. Bad boy. Down! ]

For you? [ She points to her little sign that's at the edge of the booth, where there's a price scrawled in fancy black ink. ] Double that.

[captainbrowncoat]

[ Mal tries to watch and see where the jar wanders off to. He might have to play it cool and distract her. ] Double?! [ He raises his eyebrows. Ouch! ] I was hopin' you'd cut me a break. Now, I could have been a total jerk and sent Jayne to see how things were goin'...but... I didn't!

[suoxi]

That's because you know Jayne already spent his money on booze. [ She rests her chin in her hand, smile playing at the corners of her mouth. ]

Now, are you going to pay up, or continue to hold the line?

Sorry for the delay. Hectic RL is hectic.

[captainbrowncoat]

I was thinkin' about holdin' that line up, but then again by doin' that I won't be makin' any money off this. [ Or so he thinks. ]

no worries at all! also /makes stuff up aha

[suoxi]

Imagine that, Captain Reynolds trying to make a quick buck off of a charity event. What's next, taking candy from children?

[ Serenity needs parts, they're broke. What else was she supposed to do? Mal can easily be considered a 'charity', right? ]

[captainbrowncoat]

I've considered doin' that one before, and I'm sure Jayne wouldn't have any issues with it.

[suoxi]

You're incorrigible, Captain.

[ she makes shooing motions with her hands. ]

[captainbrowncoat]

[ Mal tosses a couple coins onto the table. ] And, I'm talkin' about the bad kids! Now, I've paid up, so I don't get a kiss do I?

[suoxi]

[ Inara gives him a look as she sweeps the coins into her palm, then deposits them into the jar she's moved away from. ]

You paid fair and square, Captain. Who am I to deny? [ Kiss her, you fool. ]
