[That's... nowhere Valkyrie has heard of. Which she'd normally be fine with, except Kratos has an Irish accent. So if he's never seen Dublin, shouldn't the province he comes from at least sound familiar?]
In that case, thank you. [Skulduggery still sounds surprised, but now it's tempered by distraction. He's thinking.]
Skulduggery?
Hm?
[Valkyrie's got her brow raised.] How much should he be saying in front of me?
Ah. He can turn his hearing off.
Okay. That's... interesting, but it doesn't really answer my question.
Doesn't it? [There's a brief pause, but Skulduggery goes on before Valkyrie can reply.] We're going to Ghastly's shop. Kratos can explain everything there. I trust both Valkyrie and Ghastly with my life, Kratos, as far as I have one. They'll be able to help.
