They must look ridiculous like this, Jill thinks, but she also knows that no one would ever hold it against them. Not just because of Clive's status but because they all have seen each other at various highs and lows, and know the toll the work they all do takes on them. That anyone should be allowed a moment of peace, of real relief is something to be celebrated. And for Clive, he has more than earned it.

( She won't go far. The Enterprise might be the fastest ship in the Twins, but getting back to the Hideaway will take time. Jill has no plans on going anywhere more than an arm's length away from Clive until they return home.
Her hand squeezes his, carefully. )
Do as she says. If you need to sleep, I'll be here.
