A woman walked down the street, looking at the ground. She was in a leather jacket, a light brown shirt, a pair of worn jeans and boots. Her blonde hair was being teased as the wind blew softly. It had been a week since threat that was Darquess was beaten and she was still trying to cope with what had happened. Ghastly is dead… she thought And Sanguine… She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and she bumped into someone, "Sorry!" She quickly apologised. She looked up at the face of the person and saw a familiar face. Her long black hair rested on her back, her black jacket and boots only reminded her of Ghastly more, "Val?" She said, surprised at the coincidence of bumping into one of her friends. Literally. "Hey, Tanith!" Valkyrie replied with a smile. The smile quickly disappeared as she noticed something was wrong, "Uh, Tanith? Something wrong?"

"No! It's nothing…" she replied quickly

"You want to get something to eat?"

"What?" The question was so sudden, Tanith had no time to process it.

"I said do you want to get something to eat? I was heading to a cafè to meet Skulduggery anyway, want to come?" Tanith smiled.

"Sure, Val. Let's go!"
