Steph can't really talk, even if she wasn't currently inhaling stew herself. An 'actual meal' is definitely more than a granola bar. Her mind clears a little as she eats, and she considers her current problem.
She wants to go to sleep, yes. But will he try to make her slow down when she wakes up again in 3 hours? He does seem to be in better shape than she is, so waking up before he does and hiding from him the rest of the day probably won't work. How much has he been sleeping? Probably more than she has, but that's a very low bar. Thinking hard, she'd say she's slept 5 hours in the last two days. Three days? What day is it now?
She stares into space for a good 30 seconds, empty bowl in her lap, before realizing that she's finished eating. There's no way she's finding her own sleeping bag tonight.
"...D'you think they'll be mad if I fall asleep in this chair?"
