Silence [open]

She'd been met by silence. Silence so loud that it hurt.

That's all there seemed to be.

It was eerie walking around Serenity and not running into Zöe or Wash, strange not seeing Simon in the infirmary, and it felt wrong not seeing Shepard Book studying his bible at the table. It was even strange not running into a leering Jayne.

Inara was finding that she missed them all. Missed the cheeriness that at most times could not only be found, but felt aboard Serenity.

That's part of the reason she found herself standing beside the ship, her hand resting lightly on the hull and staring up at it - her eyes wide and dark. Her fingers brush slowly against the cool metal and she shook her head. It wasn't right not having the whole crew there.

Lister contemplates going with the big macho answer of 'not at all' in the hopes of impressing Inara, or showing his soft and caring side by going on about how much he misses it. There was that program he watched once that said women like men who can get in touch with their feminine side.

"Sometimes," he goes for the honest answer. "Wasn't much back home for me anyway, but trying to get back to me world. If I get the chance, once we kick the smeg out of the Ohm, I might find someone else's world to settle on."

Lister shrugs. "No idea. Gotta see what place appeals to most to me," and his mind adds 'and if Kochanski is there'. Yes, even faced with the vision of loveliness that is Inara, Lister still thinks of Kochanski. Poor obsessed smeghead.

"'sides, for the moment, we're stuck here. Plenty of time to think about after, well, after."

"Well, it's gotta be a place that's invented curry. And lager. Maybe the shami kebab, but I could probably invent that if I had to," Lister begins his list. "And human looking, maybe sort of an alternate Earth. Wouldn't want to find another me anywhere, but some of the other people I was friendly with on Red Dwarf wouldn't hurt."

Would an alternate Peterson drink quite as much, he wonders.

Lister looks partially stunned. "You don't have the shami kebab? Everyone's got to try one, at least once in their life! You've honestly never had one?"

Mentally, Lister is calling her universe backwards.

"It's taste heaven, especially if it's made with a special recipe," Lister isn't being much help in the explanation department. "Tell you what, have you seen the Sensoriums yet? Why don't we head up there now, and I'll show you what I'm talking about."

And for once, Lister doesn't realise that he's asking Inara for a semi-date, he's too concerned with overcoming the fact that she's never had a shami Kebab. Heresy.

Lister wiggles a hand dismissively. "There's nothing important going on. If we hear screams and explosions, that's usually the start of something important."

And they can run and hide in the opposite direction. "Come on, I'll show you. First, we gotta get out of this place. Ladies first?"
