Chapter 497: Just Concerned

 When they reached their room, Tidas helped Skye undress, then they slipped into the shower together. Washing each other's backs had taken longer than it should've, so Peggy was waiting for them when they tried to come out of the bathroom together. Tidas stayed in the humid bathroom as Skye grabbed his clothes, and chided Peggy for her abrupt entrance.

 Peggy looked at her sideways; "What the hell are ya talkin' about?"

 Skye huffed as she passed her husband's clothes off; "Ima just confused why ya said that ye laid the clothes out if ya were comin' back anyways. I thought that Tidas would help, if I even needed it."

 A hurt expression crossed Peggy's features before it turned surly; "Well excuse me fer thinkin' I had a job ta do! Ya know: the one I've been doin' fer almost twenty years!"

 "There's no need ta scream, Peg. Ima just sayin' that Tidas and I coulda handled it if ya still had other things ta do," Skye replied as she put her undergarments on.
