[ that sounds . . . like the opposite of what she wants. both him leaving and the next few days being full. remaining still has made her realize how bone-tired she is. a good long sleep has been something she hasn't had in . . . well, more than a week, probably.
she gently squeezes her arms around his waist. ]
Shut your eyes for half an hour.
[ she murmurs, making herself comfortable, clearly preparing to do the same herself. ]
[ Normally, he can shrug off sleepiness. He's gotten good at convincing himself to keep going. Or to do the difficult things even if he didn't particularly want. Because the work had to be done, one way or another.
It's just...he hasn't seen her in a week, which felt more like a month. There'd been a gaping ache in his chest and too many nights of little to no sleep. Which should be normal but it's never been with this much stress.
So when she hugs him around the waist and asks him to stay, he finds it hard to refuse. Half an hour, that he can spare. It's still fairly bright out and he'll be able to see what he needs to see at Sweet Reef even if he waits a bit. ]
Alright. [ He sighs out a long breath, more tired than anything else, as he shifts his leg so it's at a more comfortable angle. ] Half an hour. Then I have to go.
[ she can feel him agree before he says the words, though she curls her fingers a little loosely into his coat, just in case he decides to change his mind. she considers saying something else, like acknowledging that she understand she has to go.
but inej decides going to sleep is a better use of her time than agreeing to something pointless.
so she relaxes fully against him, letting herself drift into a surprisingly peaceful sleep. content with the knowledge that he's here. and somewhat doubtful he would actually move her in half an hour. maybe she can silently convince him of an hour instead.
it's only a few more moments before she drops into a dead sleep. ]

Whatever you are scheming can wait half an hour.
