Er, hi there. First piece uploaded to this site, hope you enjoy it :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Skulduggery or Valkyrie, they both belong to Derek Landy (Who is a total babe)
Valkyrie Cain sat at the grand oak table, drumming her fingers across the dark, fissured wood restlessly. Opposite her sat her mentor, friend, annoyance, Skulduggery Pleasant.
She glared at him. Her eyes almost seemed to smoulder, like hot embers within a dying fire.
He regarded her bemusedly. His head was tilted, an unchanging smile set into his chalky skull, and his arms were crossed in a businesslike fashion.
"What did I do this time?" He asked innocently.
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
"Yes. Tell me why I deserve this harsh and wounding silence."
Valkyries tapping fingers ceased their manic tapping and clenched into white-knuckled fists rapidly.
"Maybe, just maybe, it's because you won't stop calling my boyfriend 'hedgey'" She uttered quietly, making her seem all the more terrifying.
"..."
"I only call him that because his hair is silly. It is silly and unnecessary and it makes him look like a-"
"Don't. Even. Say it."
"A he-"
"No."
"A Hedg-"
"Shut up."
"A small prickly ani-"
"Shut up now, before I attack you."
"A hedgeh-"
"FLETCHER IS NOT A HEDGEHOG!"
