oldMal's Serenity. Living room. When fairies die.

[random_xtras]

The old ship stood quietly just outside of the small bordertown, listing just ever so slightly to one side. She was still and empty but for the morose brooding of her captain on the bridge and the stealthy lurking of her Reader in her shadow. The rest of the crew was in town, doing whatever missions they had been assigned or assigned themselves.

Then there was a swish and a slight flash in the living room, and a still form settled onto the couch, wrapped in a silken violet cloak. It seemed that someone stood there and looked down at the figure for a moment before the tousled violet hair that half-covered the pale face was stirred slightly and another swish and flash announced the sudden absence of life in the room.

He took a step back. He'd never seen this before, so he had no idea what it was Mal was doing.

"Wh...what...?" he asked Abby, grabbing the girl's wrist before she could turn and leave.

Abby watches for a moment. "He's just gonna do CPR. Gonna keep her alive till I find Dean." she says gently as she places a hand over the one Iroh has on her wrist.

Mal doesn't even realize that he's praying as he works, and he has no idea how long Violet's been like this. But that's probably a good thing, or he would have given up before he started.

And that sudden gasp would never have come about.

"Easy, girl," he said soothingly, dropping to his knees with his eyes on the violet-haired woman's face. "Jes' take it easy, yer gonna be alright."

He just watched, completely flabbergasted.

Abby? Has the same face as Iroh.

Violet's chest is heaving with distress as she weakly tries to curl on her side.

Mal grabs her arm as she moves her hand toward her face, turning it so that he can see the bottom of her wrist. "What the #$%@%&?"

Iroh is still frozen, but manages to find his tongue.

"...Vi?"

Abby swallows, but stays silent waiting for Violet to speak.

Violet winces as Mal examines the two holes that pierce the vein on her wrist, then calls faintly with her mind. -Iroh?-

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"Yes?"

The old man looks like he's about to faint.

[supporting-cats.livejournal.com]

Abby looks at Iroh. "I didn't say anythin'."

[random_xtras]

-I... I'm home?- Her breathing hitched.

"Somethin' bled 'er dry." Mal looked up. "We gotta git 'er to the infirmary. Abby, go find the Doc. Iroh, how much can ya carry?"

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"As much as I need to," he said, his resolve firming now that he knew - or at least was moderately sure - that Vi would live.

Abby nods. "Right away, Cap." A last look at Vi before she is off in a run to get on the Mule and look for Dean.
