I am seeing it as Bones pov. The main reason for that is in a situation like this, I can't see Jim taking himself off duty. He would be the one "to find a way", since he doesn't believe in a no-win kind of scenario. And I could see Jim's cocky reply "Glad you noticed" to Bones. Did like that Uhura was comforted by whichever character's pov one prefers. Enjoyable fic.
