She was exhausted, but she would've stayed up for my benefit if I let her. I'm lucky to have her. Everyone was tired, but I am Captain. It's my responsibility when push comes to shove. And besides, Humans keel over quicker than Trill.
[Most of that was true, at least, she cared deeply for her officers and would rather suffer herself than let them when there was no need. It was debatable if Trill had more endurance than Humans, but at least in this case she wasn't lying. Stubbornness was one hell of a stimulant.]
I just don't want to get it wrong. So many things have gone poorly of late, I'm not sure I could forgive myself if this did as well.
And, as for that, I happen to find helping others relaxing. I can bring my flute if that makes it seem like more of a holiday.
