OK, so my problem is that I don't sleep very well around other people, obviously not a great thing when we're going to be stuck out on expedition for 2 weeks in a group of 6.

And I dealt with it very badly in the first expedition, but I slept OK because Hiyoshi kept bullying me and I ended up being OK sleeping around him. And since you're the only person on this expedition that I actually like and somewhat trust... can I:

a) sleep with you one night before we go to see if this will actually work, and
b) ... cuddle up with you for the two weeks?
