To my surprise, I just got a knock on my door. Good thing I was awake working on my mission reports. It was Professor T'Soni. She said she was worried about falling sleeping. She has been having horrible nightmares, although she won't go into detail about them, she asked if she could stay here tonight. Who could say no to those deep blue eyes? I couldn't. I told her she could take the bed, but she insisted on taking the couch. It's good to be captain, I outranked her and it didn't take long for the exhausted looking asari to be out.
I wouldn't be able to sleep myself. I've been tossing and turning so much lately, the sheets aren't even on my bed anymore. I finally decided to at least do something good with these endless nights. I'm behind with the mission reports, but who likes doing paperwork, besides Pressly. I swear he fills his out before the mission starts. You'd think by the 21st century, they would have eliminated paperwork.

Well I'm caught up now, but for some reason, I can't seem to convince my brain it's nighty night time. I'd go make a quick round of the ship but every time I stand up, Liara rustles. It's like she can tell I'm about to leave. I've been watching her for a while now and she actually looks very peaceful. It's kind of weird; I've never watched anyone sleep before. She looks so angelic, so beautiful. Lying there so still, only her chest rising and falling with each breathe are her only signs of being alive.
Not that I put much thought into, but she isn't sleeping the way I envisioned. I don't know what I was thinking, it's not like Prothean Experts have a particular sleeping pattern. Good grief, I must be tired. Anyway, she's curved slightly on her back with her dominate handle cradling her cheek. I imagined if she were sitting up, her head would be resting against that hand, but as it is now, her fingers are barely grazing her skin. One of her legs is half up, like she is ready to pounce at any second. I wonder if she ever truly relaxes. I can't imagine being down on those dig sites. You never know when or what is coming at you.
I was just looking at her boots sitting at the foot of the bed. She got in there so fast, I didn't even see what she wears under them. That's an interesting thought, do asari even wear socks? I just made myself chuckle at the thought of her running around as a child sliding on the floors in white socks. I bet Benezia just loved that; especially if company was visiting.
I must be tired, my mind just started running wild. Like do her scales cover her entire body, what do they feel like, does she have a belly button? Does she sweat? Wait, yes she does. I remember her sweating after one of our earlier missions where she used her biotics a great deal. I remember thinking she looked so cute, all exhausted. Goddess, that feels like years ago.
Shit, I just looked at the time, how did it get to be 2:30? Where did the last two hours go? I need to at least try and get some sleep. Good thing I've fallen asleep on that couch more times then I care to admit. Thank goodness Anderson has great taste, it is pretty comfortable. I just wish it was a bit wider. Well here I go. Good night security officer in the Alliance who's reading this.
