Character: Mal, Zoe, Wash
Summary: "Zoe crossed her arms, instantly disliking this stranger.  And then he looked up at them."

Mal was pretty proud of himself.  He had a meeting with a potential pilot and was singing his praises to Zoe over coffee in the galley.

"He's everything I've heard about him."  Mal finished off his coffee and placed his mug in the sink.  "And he should be here any minute to look her over."

Zoe offered her friend and captain a half smile as she put her mug in the sink next to his.  They headed down to the cargo bay.  Mal opened the hatch and Zoe watched a man with a think moustache and a loud Hawiaiian shirt approach them.  Zoe crossed her arms, instantly disliking this stranger.  And then he looked up at them.

His deep blue eyes looked her over and Zoe's breath caught in her throat.  Time seemed to stop as those eyes of his drew her in.  Suddenly, she was trapped in their vast blueness.  It was surprising to her.  They were deep and clear.  She could read every emotion in his eyes.

This instant was over and she recovered herself as Mal introduced them.

"Zoe, this is Hoban Washburne."  Hoban coughed.  "Er-- Wash."  Wash smiled at her.  Zoe took a step foward and Wash extended his hand.  Zoe pushed him against the bulkhead and frisked him.  Mal put his head in his hand, sighing. 'This is going to be interesting,' he thought to himself.

fic, zoe
