[No other words to describe it to Skulduggery. Valkyrie's forcibly reminded of the fact that Kratos learned a whole language in one night, and he's not human, and -- more than that -- he's alien. That was the one thing Skulduggery always said didn't exist, was aliens. And leprechauns. And unicorns.

So help her, if they run into a unicorn...]

But you have an Irish accent.

[Bluntly, and a little helplessly. Who learned a language so completely in 24 hours that they even picked up the accent?

Skulduggery, meanwhile, speaks to Ghastly.] Will you tell Corrival he just yelled at an angel? Using, moreover, a concept one would think traditional angels take offence at? I don't think he's thinking very clearly.

[Skulduggery hums in thought, and turns to Kratos.]

Have you come across hell in your studies?
