When Skulduggery said he was proud of Valkyrie, it always elicited a small glow of pride deep in her gut. Even when he meant it sarcastically, or when it was an offhanded observation. It was kind of interesting that Gabe saying he was proud of her caused the same reaction, because even though he was an Archangel, she'd only met him a few days ago.
Of course, she'd only known Skulduggery for a few days before she started trying to impress him. And he was a living skeleton. Maybe it wasn't so weird.
Gabe transitioning seamlessly into Sanguine's accent still caught her off-guard, even after hearing it multiple times. Somehow, hearing it right next to Sanguine made the whole thing either that much funnier, or slightly more terrifying. She hadn't decided which yet. Either way, Valkyrie didn't think she'd ever get used to the accent or the way Gabe could slip it on and off as easily as breathing.
Sanguine's eyes were narrowed in a kind of fury Valkyrie didn't see on the Texan's face very often. He glared at them both. "Don't you think for a second that y'all have seen the last of me."
Valkyrie sighed. "Yes, yes, you're very scary, I'm trembling in my boots. Sanguine, you have no idea what kind of a gift you're being granted here. Just go."
He seemed to have some kind of an idea, because he turned to look at Gabe as Valkyrie moved off to search for Guild's family. "You ain't just a mind-reader," he said. "What kind of a mind-reader can kill Remnants? You secretly a Faceless One?"
Valkyrie waited until she was out of sight before letting the violent shudder take over her body, and she pulled out her phone to call Skulduggery while she searched.
