Skulduggery had now been home for two weeks and had calmed down a lot about the necromancy stuff. He was back to his cheeky, childish self. They were all at the house Valkyrie's uncle Gordon had left for her.
"What do you want to do then" Vlakyrie asked in what she thought was her most questioning voice.
"How about you go kill something" Skulduggery said in a playful voice, so she knew he was joking.
" You're one to talk" she started, not sure if she should continue. She did anyway. "I've heard the stories, the great skeleton detective killed hundreds in the great war, and hundreds more looking for revenge" Skulduggery's head dropped and Valkyrie took note of this reaction. After a minute in silence, Skulduggery spoke.
"in response to that..." he said quietly "TIG" he suddenly shouted and tapped Vlakyries arm then jumped over the sofa and ran up the stairs. Valkyrie laughed and ran after him. Ghastly and Tanith joined in. They stopped when they saw Skulduggery talking on his phone and smiling. He hung up and walked over.
"what" Tanith asked bounding up to him.
"Thruid Guild knows i'm back, we're going to see him"
"how is that good news" Ghastly asked
"Remus Crux will be there"
Valkyrie scowled, remembering three years ago when Crux had wrongly imprisoned her in a cell with a man who wanted to kill her. Skulduggery was going to batter him.
