Things
Skulduggery Pleasant walked into the late Gordon Edgley's mansion, His empty eye sockets trailed over the beautiful classic furniture, the sofa and chairs a deap burgandy that made the room have a gourgous feel, the glass coffee table, the glistening crystal chandelier that hung in in the middle of the ceiling and the wooden sidboard centured behind one of the sofas that seamed to blend in beautifully with the gold and burgundy wallpaper.
No doubt China helped decorate things, Skulduggery thought.
Just at that moment, Valkyrie Cain came into the living room, her hair tied away from her face in a plat, her boots clicking against the wooden floor, her black waist length coat draiping over her arm, her sholders were lean and muscled under her tunic and her eyes
dark and hard.
"Wheres your ring?" Skulduggery questioned, tilting is skull to the side slightly.
Valkyrie looked down at her boots, "I fell out with Solomon, he said i should quit elemental magic, i sorta told him to get lost, and he said he would take my ring unless i chose neormancy, i threw it at him"
she had a smirk on her face and Skulduggery could not help himsef but laugh,
"So...you chose elemental magic over neormancy?" he asked.
"Yes" she awsered, "Your going to throw a bloody party arn't you?"
"I will"
"Damn"
"Your better off a elemental anyway"
"Why's that?"
Skulduggery looked down, and Valkyrie emediatly understood. I don't want to become her she thought.
To get them off the subject she asked "Is Tanith awake yet?"
"Yes, Kenspecle phoned me when i got here, he said she is up and walking, but she needs a little time by herself, He told me to pick her up at six O'clock"
Valkyrie sighed her releif, ever since they handed her over to kenspecle, they were afraid he would never get her back, but he did, and for that she owed him one.
"So are we going to meet Gastly, or are we going to stand about having a rubish conversation?" she said, a smile appering.
"My conversations are always good ones" he awnsered curtly.
Valkyrie laughed, "I'm sure Mr Pleasant"
"Oh, your nice"
he walked out into the hallway and continued to the door, the silence seemed to get at him, digging into him, she was never silent like this, she would trip him or tell him to hurry up, or something, still he thought leave her like that, she has just broken up with fletcher
afteralL.
they got to the door, Skulduggery reached out for the handle, but realised Valkyrie's hand was next to his, touching slightly, they both drew back, and looked at eachother. "Sorry" Skulduggery stammered slightly, but Valkyrie didn't seem to notice.
she opened the door, her head was spinning, WHY did he stammer? the annoying voice in her head barked at her, but she did not have a reason. she just carried on walking to the
Bently R-type Continetial one of the 208 ever made, its body work glistening like a black
diamond making the sun look dull.
they both got into the car, You stupid lemon. that voice barked in his head as he turned the ignition, WHY didn't you tell her?... Skulduggery let that voice rant on as he drove out of
drive, pulling out onto the road they drove to bespoke Tailors.
