Erskine pretended to think about it. "No," he decided eventually. "I don't like you, exactly. I'm just willing to put money into making sure you do your share of the work."
"Vengeance?" Skulduggery asked. If Ghastly didn't know any better, he'd think there was almost a note of concern in that tone. "For what? What did I ever do to you?"
Ghastly could name a few things, but for the sake of not having to remain in this room a moment longer than necessary, the tailor quickly nodded before any response could be made. "Yes. I can look suitably intimidating, certainly. Besides, I'd like my own chance to stare him down."
Valkyrie's expression lightened considerably at the news. Ghastly couldn't blame her. Until this morning, he'd never particularly pegged Tenebrae for the sadistic torturer, either. Things were going to get very interesting around here, what with every Elder knowing about the truth of the Passage, and Tenebrae not being able to verify they did.
