Her hair is a tangled mess around her face, wisps of brown snaking in every direction. It is useless trying to tame it, really, but Inara is well schooled in making things look pretty and her fingers are so very soothing against her scalp. She relaxes and allows the older woman to attempt the impossible.

She leans back into Inara’s touch, smiling and well aware of the soft grin on her friends’ face even though she can’t see it with her eyes. It is in the way she touches her. It leaks from her skin.

It’s perfect.

Her hair gleams.
