Valkyrie laughed as Skulduggery remarked on a dress they had just passed. They were in Dublin shopping market, looking for a new dress for Valkyrie. Grand Mage Ravel Erskine was holding a ball to celebrate the coming of a new year. It was to be held on the last day of the year…..hardly surprising.
"Skulduggery I actually liked that dress!" Valkyrie exclaimed. The one Skulduggery had laughed at was a pale blue sleeveless, fitting to the breasts. It came just above the knees.
"Yes well it was too short Valkyrie. If you had tripped and an evil 4 armed 6 legged monster came after you then you wouldn't have a chance!" Skulduggery grumbled. They had been shopping for 2 hours and he was getting bored.
"What about this one? It's got the same top part but it comes just to the ankles. And the colour is perfect!" Valkyrie had gushed at another beautiful dress. It was midnight black at the top, but gradually fading to white at the bottom. Even Skulduggery had to admit it was kind of nice!
"Okay but if you get it, can we leave? I need to go and see a friend."
"What friend?"
"Never you mind."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
"YES!"
"Okay."
"Huh?" Valkyrie stared at those lovely green eyes in which Skulduggery's façade was using.
"I said okay! But if I'm going to tell you then you need to promise me one thing." Those piercing eyes bored into those dark eyes of a dark haired 20 year old. Valkyrie raised just one eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"We leave right now!" Valkyrie laughed and Skulduggery smiled. His blonde façade melted as he tapped his collarbone. Valkyrie went over to the till to buy the black dress while Skulduggery got into the Bentley.
"Skulduggery I suggest we leave because I see some particularly enticing heels over there!"
