บท 418: Morning Rush

 Tidas grinned as he wrapped an arm around Skye's shoulders, and replied; "We're off to check on Zazzy, then Skye wants to do her Shaman rounds before we pay Aunt Marie a visit. After that, I have a quick meeting, then it's lunch with Maevis and Nicolas before we go and beat-I mean talk, to Genie. Would you two like to join us for lunch?"

 "Yes please! It'll give me an excuse to ditch Karena early," Shasta replied enthusiastically.

 Skye quirked an eyebrow at her; "Why would Magnus pair ya wit her in the first place? Tis known that ye two hate each other."

 Shasta mimicked Skye's face; "You'd have to ask him that. He keeps avoiding me now.. Your language skills have gotten worse, by the way."

 "Really? I canna tell," Skye replied with a cheeky smile, already formulating a plan in her head.

 Shasta grinned back at her broadly; "By the gods, I missed your ditziness! Oh, I mean that in a good way."
