[Priestly had told her he'd talk 'til he was blue in the face today so Inara had prepared for it. She'd taken a nap so that she wasn't completely exhausted. She'd dressed with particular care in a flattering sari that left one shoulder bare then cleaned up the apartment, even though honestly it was practically hermetically clean at this point. She'd been a neat freak before but since getting sick she'd gotten particularly anal about it. She'd lit candles and then tried to meditate. Her stomach was upset but she was fairly certain part of that had to do with the talk they were going to have. She glanced at the hourglass--she really couldn't get used to 'normal' clocks--and realized Priestly would be getting off work soon so she started putting together the tea set and table. She sat down on the couch, hands folded in her lap and ticked the time off with her fingers drumming against her leg. This wasn't going to be awkward. Not at all.]
