[The question is obvious, and if only Skulduggery knew what a loaded one it is. Kratos answers without hesitation and a firm nod.]
Yes.
[An angelic human, perhaps; but still human. This is a distinction he's blurred too often, for too long. He does not intend to forget it again. An angelic nature, for him, should always be secondary; and it's the great tragedy of the crimes perpetuated on the other angels that their previous natures had been completely consumed by lifelessness.
[For a moment Kratos stands, half debating. He has mixed feelings about both hiding and revealing his angelic nature. He had done both, and always in the wrong moment. He does not want this to be a situation where he does the opposite of what he ought, as he has for so long. Skulduggery did not have to reveal his nature, and it seems if there's anyone on the planet with a strange state of being, it would be a sentient skeleton.
[It's Skulduggery's honesty which decides him. Kratos adds:]
no subject
