[Inara doesn't bother searching the train just yet. There has been a critical shift in the universe, something that she can sense even as lacking in power as she is currently. This train is clearly not the train that she first boarded, and she is at a loss to explain why or how, or more importantly where she is. She glances, turning slowly and ( Read more... )

Another? [She looks up at Inara.] This is an odd one... even by this place's standards... [She stands.]

[It's easy enough to cover her surprise at finding someone else with a polite smile and a cautious nod. Normal people tend to assume that anyone else they encounter is a normal person also, but she knows that she needs to be careful]

Odd? I don't think of myself as being especially odd...

[She eyes the other girl cautiously, trying to cover it with a casual, dismissive smile. In her experience it's a very bad idea to tell someone exactly what you are as soon as you meet]

Completely normal is, of course, a matter of perspective, but from my own there is nothing exceptional about me...

...is someone there?

[Edward flinched slightly and tried to hide a little more in the shadows. The sound of his leather suit shifting as he shifted, his dark eyes are wide open, his voice was calm and soft.]

Yes....

[While the voice is light, perhaps even fearful, Inara knows that fearful things often can be dangerous and she approaches slowly, with caution]

I mean you no harm...who's there?
