7DOB, day 2. Yes, the dates are stuffed around. Document Manager wouldn't let me in, so everythings been readjusted. All explained in the holy PROFILE!
Sunsets
Stephanie loved sunsets. They were so pretty. This one, however, was very ordinary. A bit of orange, some yellow, a few fluffy clouds, a skull…
Skull?
"Skulduggery?"
"'Tis my wonderful and glorious self."
"Yeah, it's definitely you."
"Did my wonderful good looks and my charming persona give it away?" he said cocking his head to the side.
"No, I think I was a tie somewhere between your incurable ego and your tendency to come through my window, completely disregarding the purpose of a door."
"Ah. It puzzles me how someone so young can be so sarcastic."
Valkryie's smile faltered. Young. She was young, compared to him. The phrase 'unrequited love' floated through her mind. Banishing those thoughts from her mind, she smiled sweetly and replied "It's just natural talent".
"China has a problem."
"Okay. So?"
"Well, are you going to offer to help or something?"
"I doubt it."
"Right… any particular reason?"
"Hmm, now that is, indeed, a hard one. It could be something to do with the fact that she left you to be tortured and nearly killed by a man who was trying to bring the Faceless One's back. Maybe, it because she founded the diablerie, which got you transported to another world, that we had to save you from. And that I really don't like her in general. That falling in love thing is soo creepy."
"Actually, I agree…"
"Yeah. Okay." Then something occurred to her. "Is that the only reason that you came over?"
"Umm, well yeah, I guess…" he trailed off, sounding as embarrassed as a skeleton can.
"Really? Like, there's nothing that you want to, I dunno talk about?"
"Not really. I gotta go see Tanith."
"Right. See You." She was distracted by the thought of Tanith and Skulduggery.
Tanith and Skulduggery…
He jumped out the window.
She went back to her bed.
Both were sad.
Lonely.
