Ghastly didn't ask how God knew, why He thought so, or how on earth a girl with a terminal disease was going to be okay. He didn't even react to the subtle bid of approval, which honestly probably meant that Ghastly was adjusting better than even he thought he was.
What he'd wanted to ask, actually, was how God could justify not doing anything Himself to help out back there, but - for better or for worse - Ghastly had that answer. Whether that was because he'd truly worked it out for himself, or was prodded in the right direction by divine means, didn't matter. The fact was, he had it, and God knew, and God wasn't trying to correct him.
Still, you couldn't come face to face with God and not ask something. That was just bound to bring trouble somewhere down the line.
Ghastly followed Him into the elevator - empty, of course, because why wouldn't it be empty right as Ghastly was going to ask very specifically pointed questions? - and Ghastly ended up pressing the button for the ground floor. Again, he didn't react. Still adjusting, even now. Especially now, when Ghastly could finally think properly again.
He had half a mind to ask about the Desolation Engine, what Scarab was planning, or maybe even what Skulduggery and Gabe were doing now. But Ghastly found, suddenly, that a much more pressing question tripped its way out of his mouth before he could find the words. "Is that story about the rainbows true?"
