[Kratos then ruins any remaining pretence completely, and Skulduggery sighs.] When you're dealing with aliens, you don't assume they'll learn your language with a few hours and a dictionary. Of course I thought I'd need the help.

Yeah, but he's not just an alien. [Valkyrie's grinning. She always feels better when she's not the one floundering with the least amount of information.] He's an angel.

Yes, but I didn't know that at the time.
