[One of the reasons she is having such a hard time is that she knows she doesn't do this to herself. The time before this, it came about as the result of the draft in space, and the serious strain of the environment and the battle; this time, it happened in part because of the physical effects of helping put out a fire.
In the clinic, or even in her previous drafts, this hasn't happened before. Has it? Of course she takes her responsibilities seriously.
And yet. Xion is not the first person today to give her a talk of sorts about pushing herself. She can't forget that, even as she has trouble comprehending what exactly it is she might need to change. Her own voice in her head tells her that she goes home for dinner unless they're shorthanded or very full, she takes breaks, she tries not to do too much if she feels tired-
Do the words mean anything if she is the one using them to comfort herself? Mia closes her eyes for a long moment; when they open again, she manages a tired smile.]
Of course. Thank you, Xion. I apologize for worrying you.
