Did she also require sleep? I discovered that is often the case.

It is not the timeline that is fixed but rather personality. The negotiations will go the way they do because of the persuasion and engagement one brings, regardless of the preparation prior. Though preparation is vital, but sometimes better left in the hands of those who have the time to dedicate to the minute of the matters.

It would defeat the purpose of shore leave, Captain. But more hands is never amiss.

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.
