[The forced cheerfulness is of greater import than the words Kratos can't yet understand. He can guess the subject is about Serpine, of a sort; Skulduggery trying to make himself feel better about the event where he avenged his family. Kratos isn't surprised that the cheer fades quickly.
[Rather, Kratos focusses on the question. 'Are' is related to 'be', according to the book and the long section on time -- 'where', he also knows. 'Your planet' is obvious enough. The only word Kratos doesn't recognise, combined with Skulduggery pointing, is easy enough to figure out. He points too.]
They? They. Yes; Aselia.
[His finger shifts to indicate Colette and Lloyd.]
Lloyd, Colette, angels, yes. Human angels. Raine and Genis -- Hm. Elves. Human elves.
['Elves' is a word that Skulduggery won't recognise; it's in Tethe'allan. Kratos pauses, then puts the locket -- still with the chain around his neck -- in Skulduggery's hand so Kratos can open the book. He points to the image of the daughter, then the image of the son; then respectively to the parents, reading the words indicated by the arrows to show relations.]
Raine, sister. Genis, brother. Father -- human. Mother -- elf. No human.
[Kratos watches Skulduggery carefully at this, to tell from Skulduggery's reaction how he might feel about interracial relationships, if they even exist on this planet.]
