... Well. There wasn't really any way to argue that particular point, and especially not with the others there. But it was getting a little too personal for the detective to be completely at ease, and came a little too close to traversing the well-known path into anger. So Skulduggery quickly and easily changed the subject. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have more than a little bias yourself. You're not going to convince me to change my mind."
"Your conversations must be fun," Ghastly muttered. "Do they always descend into this?"
"Not always," answered Skulduggery. "Sometimes we talk about how difficult free will is. Most of the time we were discussing how to escape. If you think I'm stubborn, try having a philosophical discussion with an Archangel sometime."
Valkyrie was giggling. These were all good signs; it meant, perhaps, that no one was questioning Gabe's comment. Skulduggery was a little biased in general, after all. It was entirely possible that Gabriel had been talking about his death and subsequent resurrection.
