By the time they had finished discussing the Highland matter, Skye and Tidas only had about an hour or so left together before they had to go to sleep. Since it was so late, Peggy had ordered food brought to Skye and Tidas' quarters for everyone. They'd been talking in the office, and had now moved to their bedroom. There weren't enough seats in the other room for everyone.
Ralph, Petrie, and Tidas sat on the couch talking about the current weather conditions of the Highlands as they ate. Magnus and Lucas were discussing Murdoc and the kind of man Lucas presumed him to be.
Skye and Marie sat off to the side while they picked at their food. They didn't talk right away, both too lost in their own thoughts to discuss anything until Skye shoved her issues aside. Marie's were much worse, and she could use the distraction to cool her anger directed at her husband.
