Skulduggery came out of the kitchen then threw an ice pack to him, "I cant come to movie night, knowing now not to sneak up on you again val, bye guys." Fletcher then disappeared. before skulduggery settled onto the sofa, another note popped out from the mail slot, skulduggery dragged himself back up with a tired groan, then grabbed the note to read,"hmm, looks like Ghastly won't be attending either, he says he has an outbreak of customers suddenly and can't close shop, oh well I guess it's just you and me", he kneeled down in front of the tv, then found the movie called Romeo+Juliet by Leonardo DiCaprio, he inserted the video (Gordon was old school and val wasn't bothered changing to DVD), then finally settled onto the sofa, he exhaled, (I think) slowly sinking into the sofa. Valkyrie was making herself some pork chops, the smell crept up on skulduggery and then he inhaled, (i think... he is a skeleton... A possessed skeleton), "ah, I remember chops, my old favorite dish, we didn't have sauces 400 years ago, but they were still really good" if he could, he'd be drooling, then heard val snigger, "what is ever the matter, miss Cain?" He said with a suspicious grin, "well You are a chop, a stack of e'm!" She bursed into tears, laughing, skulduggery was not amused, it was a little funny, he thought to himself. She looked hilarious whenever she laughed, it was easier back then, when she was just starting out, a 12 year old training sidekick, (thats what he thought of her, his sidekick), but now she was older she was more like a grown up, less stubborn and less of a sidekick, more of a friend... Valkyrie was done making her food, she carried it over to the sofa next to skulduggery, then started eating, watching the movie and teasing skulduggery with food.
