Pleasantly Raising Cain

Birds and Bees... Or Not?

"Skulduggery?"

"Yes Valkyrie?"

"Fletcher has been... Talking to me recently."

"About?"

Valkyrie sighed, tucking a strand of her dark hair behind her ear.

"He wants to..."

"Ah, I see where this is going."

"Do you?"

"I'm relatively sure."

"So what do I do?"

"Well, you have to listen to what your parents have told you before..."

"Yes I know that."

"And don't forget that you have to deal with the consequences."

"Of course."

"Make sure he is protected."

"Well duh."

"Don't let him stray too far... Keep him on the right track."

"Yes..."

"You'll both be wet..."

"I know."

"You'll be screaming."

Valkyrie sighed. "I know that too..."

"Are you right now? Got everything down?"

"I think so," Valkyrie nodded. Skulduggery tilted his head slightly to the right to show that he was smiling.

"Good... Have fun at the water park then."

Valkyrie grinned.
