[For funsies] Um. Oops?

Author Note: Set immediately after Mal comes back from Milliways shenanigans.

---

Mal's door back to the ship always moves around. Usually it's to Inara's shuttle, but he can end up anywhere from the bridge to Jayne's bunk.

Awkward.

This go-round though, he's happy to not immediately show up in front of Inara. Instead, he walks out into the bridge and sits in the pilot's seat - just for a moment.

Not that he's stalling.

Mal very politely ignores Inara's hand so that he can bend at the waist and loop an arm behind her knees so he can sweep her up into his arms when he stands.

"Off we go."

Her head tilts back as she laughs. Inara tightens her arms around his neck and she kisses him soundly on the lips.

Mal returned safely to his ship and his wife and his crew after adventures in another universe.

He doesn't drop Inara going down the stairs from the bridge, or up the catwalks to Shuttle Two.



Good day.
