Thank you! It is tough to get from point A to point B in a short scene I find. I am glad this worked. *Phew*

Nice. I love Inara and Zoe here, how they knows just how to deal with Mal. Especially Inara, keeping a hand on his arm, using physical cues just as well as verbal cues. Also, interesting notion for what her roll on the ship might be like. Its good that she can still use her companion training in a way that is useful to Serenity. And, yay, hopeful ending.

Thank you! The physical clues were spurred by my recollection of Morena and Gina's absolutely perfect embodiment of Inara and Zoe.
I am glad you found the notion of I nara's position to be interesting... It felt like it was a reasonable extension of her schooling.

*Yay to potential happiness for the bad luck Mal*

I absolutely love this. It fits in so incredibly well, and its exacly how I imagine Inara sliding into her new role on Serenity. I can't say enough, this is just like a missing piece I've been looking for. Well done! I look forward to more!

Thank you!! I am so glad you felt it clicked that missing Lego into place!
*Hope they keep telling me what is happening since this was a side trip from the main story...*

Nice! I really liked the way you used the quote, once at the beginning and then connecting it to the end. Well-done! :D

Thank you! I find i write my stories based on prompts or images. There has to be a spur for them somewhere. And this one had two lovely ones! Winter's night and the quote. >:0)

I love the dynamic between the four of them, how it shows what's changed after Miranda, and what's stayed the same. Nice work.

I am glad the dynamic works. I find that one of the really hard things to do is keep the relationships sorted out as time wreaks its inevitable changes on them.
Thank you for the nice support (man does it ever help to know what works)>;0)
