( perhaps for the very first time since they first spoke, inara genuinely seemed to be smiling and even laughing a bit at his comment. she still wasn't sure what to make of him or what to think, but he did remind her of a specific type of client she seemed to get from time to time. he was...starting to grow on her just a bit with his intelligence.

unfortunately for him, if he was looking for more of a negative reaction it wouldn't come. in fact she was all smiles at him currently. )

Well I'll be more than happy to indulge you.

( still, she had her own things to do. )

Well glad to hear, hopefully their selection is more than just gossip magazines and the like. Tell me, can we have our discussion about aesthetics while we do other things too? Or are you going to hold me hostage here?
