Sulu nodded, smiling. It would be strange to work with a different bridge shift for a while, but he wasn't afraid of it. He knew all of the navigators and got on with them well enough - and who knew, if he asked, Chekov might switch with him as well. And it wouldn't be permanent. He knew that Ianto was going to get better - he had to - and so it wasn't as though he would be changing his entire group of friends and colleagues for the rest of the voyage.

...And even if he did, he knew it would be worth it. "I would. I don't want to leave you alone when you might need me the most, like I've done today. It's not that hard to do, not with Jim at least." He paused, frowning, biting his lip a moment before asking, "I mean, would that - me coming over at night. You'd be okay with that?" Even though he felt he knew the answer, after the way he'd acted today he wasn't quite sure.
