[They've angled gently on their way out, instead of straight ahead. Kratos isn't paying attention to the planet below, and minimum attention to Skulduggery. On the way in, there had been a significant debris field around the planet; now he's on the way out, Kratos aligns his trajectory to match some of the speed and orbit of that debris.

[This will become apparent to Skulduggery the first time there's an abrupt turn, lightning flaring outward not unlike a pair of feathered wings in the act of banking; through the static arcs, Skulduggery should see metal gleaming as it soars soundlessly past in its orbit. Kratos broadcasts an implication of calm apology, appended with the sense of exasperation at fools not cleaning up their litter. (There's words there, but the images and feeling is stronger than those; Skulduggery won't need words to understand the message.)

[That happens several more times on their way to the outer orbit, and twice that amount the green of Guardian flares, pinging with minuscule debris nevertheless moving fast enough to be a danger. Finally they're clear and Kratos turns them, letting the mana-burn fade, so they're floating out past the graveyard orbit and Skulduggery can see his planet in its entirety.]
