After Skye's parents left, Tidas skipped work for the rest of the day. He wanted to make sure that his wife was ok, and that he was available to talk if she wanted to. Marco might be irritated with him, but he wouldn't be mad since it concerned Skye. It was one of the extremely rare occasions that his brother's obsession with his wife worked in his favor.
They sent a message to Magnus apologizing for skipping dinner, but knew that he wouldn't have a problem with it. Especially since Skye had written the note herself. She didn't give details, but she had mentioned 'meeting with her parents', and 'being too exhausted to entertain after the Bibalow incident'.
Since Magnus was partially to blame for Skye's distress, Tidas knew his father wouldn't hold it against them for skipping. Skye and Shasta had become quite popular with their playing and dancing together over the past couple of months.
