((Continued from here.))

Well what?

[gloves_come_off]

Ah, he's a boy I know - . . .my, don't you look familiar, young lady.

[using_wiles]

Do I? I don't remember ever meeting you before.

[gloves_come_off]

You just look familiar, that's all. You remind me of a beautiful woman I know.

[using_wiles]

Really? Thank you.

...Oh, before I forget, what's your name?

[gloves_come_off]

My name is Colonel Roy Mustang. It's a pleasure to meet you. What might your name be?

[using_wiles]

I'm Inara. Do I call you Colonel or Mr. Mustang or... *sheepish laugh* I forgot the rules.

[gloves_come_off]

Inara? What a lovely name, it suits you. Colonel is what I'm used to, just call me whatever you're comfortable with. There's no need to be formal.

[using_wiles]

*blushes a little* I'm supposed to be formal, though. It's part of the training.

[gloves_come_off]

Your preference entirely. Training for what, may I ask?

[using_wiles]

I'm going to be a Companion. *frowns* That's not an Alliance uniform, so you're not from the Core. Are you from Shadow too?

[gloves_come_off]

Aah, is that so? You must be quite an empathetic person to want that sort of profession. And no, I'm not from the Core, but I'm not from Shadow either.

[using_wiles]

It's better than having to get married, I think.

Bi zui. Are you from Earth-that-was? Nobody else is.

[gloves_come_off]

I'll certainly agree with you there.

My, I'm not believed! Are the Core and Shadow the only places you can be from?

[using_wiles]

So. I'm going to be a Companion and make money and then someday I'm going to see the 'verse.

No, you can be from other worlds, too. But you said you knew him, so I thought maybe you were another rebel.

[gloves_come_off]

I'm closer to the Alliance than anything else, I'm afraid. I know him from his visits here.

See the 'verse? An admirable goal. What's out there you want to see, everything?
