"Are you?" It should have been impossible for Gabe's beam to get any wider, but it did. "I'll be the best-dressed angel in Heaven!"
"Hey," Rafe objected, crossing his arms. "Why don't I get to be best-dressed? Why don't I get to be adorable?"
"Because you don't have a well-dressed skeleton to cuddle," Gabe told him, giving Skulduggery a little squeeze around the shoulders and grinning.
"Adorable is the perfect word," said Rover, waving his hand dismissively at the pair, even with the little smirk. "Be in Heaven for a century, and you get used to angels being adorable. I think it's their default setting."
"We had to keep up with humanity being our Lord's favourites somehow," Gabe said with a shrug.
"Ah!" Rover pointed. "But there's some things you need to be indoctrinated into! Like the art of drinking! Guys, Skulduggery has a skin. We need to get him drunk. We need to see if we can get angels drunk. We may not get another chance before Luci-poocy arrives, so we'd better take advantage of the opportunity! And we can't, of course," this was added in afterthought, "abandon the Prophet to China's care. We need someone to wake up tomorrow morning without a hangover. He can be our designated thinker."
