The leftover food he said to either pack up and they could use the leftovers later or they could take a break and the crew could eat. He didn't mind either way. He was worried how little food Penny had eaten but her stomach had probably shrunk with the lack of food. He gave a little wince and cursed himself for not finding her sooner. But she was here now and that was all that mattered. He asked Neila to stall her while he took his shower and told Penny to give him a few minutes and he would meet her back at the room.
He hurried down the hall, making sure no one saw him acting so undignified. He didn't have much time to do what he needed to before the girls returned. He hoped Penny could get along with Neila. He had a limited choice of female staff for Penny to confide in. He quickly stripped off his clothes and jumped in the shower, slipping and almost falling on the already-wet bottom. The water still had some warmth left to it, which was good. He'd been afraid he would have to take a cold shower. He washed with his usual shampoo, not bothering with anything fancy. He'd just dried off and was buttoning his pants when Penny and Neila entered, a grin on Neila's face. He wondered if she could possibly have timed it any worse. He knew she did that on purpose. He froze, with no shirt on and his hair still dripping.
