Sep. 18th, 2005 02:19 pmSunday morning, they get off to a late start. It's more like early afternoon by the time Crowley's skimmer touches down at the docks.
Everyone's in various stages of contentment--or lack thereof. Wash is whispering something to Zoe that might involve the words "hot tub" and "second honeymoon," to her gentle exasperation. Mal and Inara walk close together, and keep exchanging looks that they think nobody else can see. Simon and River walk close together as well; Simon gives the city one last, wistful look over his shoulder as he walks up the ramp, and River moves to touch Serenity's hull before stepping inside. Kaylee walks close behind both of them, with one last look over her shoulder at Crowley before she, too, boards the ship.
Jayne just strides onboard with his usual brusqueness, not once looking back.
Crowley gives them all a jaunty wave as the ramp rises. The thrusters fire, the auto-dockers unfolding to give the ship an extra push skyward.
The demon watches them go, then leaves to make some arrangements of his own.
