Inyri's in her room, packing her things. "I need to leave."

Lujayne's leaning against the door, arms crossed. "But why?"

"I've been taken off the active duty roster. I have psych meetings to go now." Inyri says dully, folding a shirt. "I think it's best to follow orders."

"...I..." Lujayne shuts her eyes. "I'll miss you. Come and visit."

"Of course." Inyri looks up, tilting her head. "I'll come back."

Lujayne laughs, and blinks back tears. "This is just like when I left."

"Yeah. But I'm not going to die." Inyri winces. "Sorry."

Lujayne shakes her head. "It's okay. Hey, can I watch Wyn for you?"

"Yes, absolutely." Inyri zips her duffel bag up and looks at Lujayne, leaning against the open door, tears in her eyes. She crosses to her and hugs her. "Hey. I love you, you know. I'll be back. And better. I promise."

Lujayne nods, hugging her tightly. "Okay. Okay." She pulls away and scoops Wyn up. "I'll hold onto your key? And come get Wyn's stuff later?"

Inyri nods, handing her the key. "Bye."

Lujayne nods, eyes still wet. "Bye. Be careful."

Inyri smiles bitterly. "I'm not going to be flying, 'Jayne. I'll be perfectly peachy fine."

Lujayne just watches her as Inyri hoists her bag up on her shoulder, waves by and steps out the room. Lujayne sighs, petting Wyn, and follows her down the stairs.
