Skulduggery stayed to help Valkyrie clean up the bathroom, although he did take her knives whilst she wasn't looking. He'd wrapped her arms in some temporary bandages that he'd found in her first aid kit. Valkyrie refused to meet his eyes looking at the floor every time he tilted his head towards her.
After fifteen minutes or so they were done in the bathroom, Skulduggery insisted he take Valkyrie to hospital, at first she'd disagreed, claiming that it would be fine and that she'd heal in no time. He wasn't buying it.
***
The drive in the Bentley was silent. Neither attempting to make conversation. Valkyrie looked out the window and Skulduggery, well, he just sort of drove.
After about twenty minutes, Valkyrie got bored. Usually it didn't take this long, but, alas, they were going to see someone else this time.
"How much longer?" She complained, "About an hour, possibly more depending on traffic." He replied not moving his eye sockets off the road. A few minutes passed. She started tapping her fingers on the door. Skulduggery snapped his head towards her accusingly. She held up her hands in surrender, her sleeve riding up slightly, showing the white bandage beneath it. She pulled down the sleeve, not wanting this trip to get any more awkward.
A few more minutes passed and they were finally out of the city. Taking a road that led to Roarhaven.
A few more minutes...
"HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?" He yelled pulling the Bentley up at the side of the road.He really cared for his car. She looked down, guiltily. "YOU COULD'VE DIED!"he looked at her. Disappointment was evident in his eye sockets. He shook his head, "Do you have any idea what that would've done to me?" His voice was quieter, laced with sadness. She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry." She whispered, "I really am." He put his head in his hands, "God, I'm sorry, Val, I don't know what came over me, I just..." He met her eyes for the first time during the trip. He removed his hands from his face and placed them around her neck, bringing her in for a hug, she weakly hugged back, it was kind of hard to hug someone when your seatbelt locks in.
The two hugged for a few more moments, before Skulduggery pulled away, "best get going, don't want to drive at night, not all that safe with the sheep and all." She simply laughed at his reason, "Skul, there's no sheep here." (What do Ireland have animal wise? I'm Aussie so I don't have a clue. Sorry about saying sheep, I just figured maybe they have sheep there... Sorry for the disruption, back on to the story:) "Um... Still best get going..." He pulled the Bentley back into the road and the drive continued, only now the silence was comfortable.
***
About half an hour later they'd finally reached Roarhaven. Skulduggery pulled up outside the sanctuary. Valkyrie didn't want to get out, but alas Skulduggery had threatened to drag her... She didn't doubt him. She reluctantly left the safety of the Bentley. Stepping out into the dirty street that was Roarhaven. Hesitantly she walked beside Skulduggery, tugging her sleeves down to cover her bandages, they walked towards the door, the building loomed over her. Suddenly she stopped walking, Skulduggery took another two steps before realizing she was no longer next to him. He turned around, tilting his head. He walked back to her, "Why'd you stop?" She shook her head, "I can't do this." She said. "Why not?" He said, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder, "They'll ask what happened and then they'll tell everyone and I'll get sent to a phych ward." She put her hands on her face. "Don't worry, if they ask I'll get their mind erased... Somehow." He confirmed, She took her hands away, looking up at him, "O-okay." She stammered. Skulduggery took her hand in his own, the pair walked into the sanctuary, gaining a few suspicious looks at their hands, suddenly a familiar face walked around the corner, disappearing from sight for a few seconds before stepping back into the corridor, their face lit up, "Val!" Tanith yelled, enveloping her friend in a bone crushing hug, Tanith looked to Skulduggery, "You two...?" She questioned, Valkyrie looked at her skeletal best friend, "Er..." "Yes." He cut her off, "Really?" Tanith squealed, gaining a few curious glances from passers by. "I knew it! Valduggery is real!" She stepped back from Valkyrie, then she did, what the pair assumed, was a victory dance. "Valduggery?" Valkyrie inquired, completely stumped, "Only the best ship ever!" Tanith replied, looking them both up and down. Unfortunately Valkyries sleeve had risen during the 'bone crushing hug' and now part of her bandage was visible. Taniths face dropped, "Val... What's on your arm?" She whispered, already knowing what the answer would most likely be. Valkyrie looked down in shame, pulling down her sleeves. "Er... Well..." She began, still looking down, although she wasn't given a chance to finish her sentence, when Tanith bust into tears, and enveloped her in a hug once again, although, this time it was much more gentle, as if Tanith feared that she would break her by squeezing too hard. "I'm sorry, Val. She sniffed, "I should've visited you, and made sure you were really okay." She sniffed into her shoulder, which made the sentence sound like more of a mumble, although Valkyrie still understood it, she look her hand from Skulduggery's and wrapped both her arms around Tanith, Skulduggery sort of just stood there, unsure what to do. Tanith pulled back stepping towards Skulduggery, she looked into his eye sockets, as if she was about to say something very meaningful, instead she punched him in the skull. He stubbed backwards a few steps, as he had been unprepared for a punch to the face. "You should've checked on her!" He put his hands up, "I tried! The door was locked!" She stepped towards him again and this time slapped his head, quite hard, "And when, pray tell, has that ever stopped you before?" She looked into his eyes again, hers lace with pure and utter fury, "Mr. Pleasant if I didn't ship Valduggery so hard, I would kill you in a way that would make you unable to come back." Then she looked back to Valkyrie, the fury in her eyes now gone. "Let's get you to Nye, I suspect that's where you were headed." She laced her arm through Valkyries, careful not to hurt her, then she grabbed Skulduggery's arm, lacing her other through it, then she started walking, Valkyrie walking beside her and Skulduggery being somewhat dragged behind in his attempt to keep up, "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz" she sang, trying to lighten the mood, Valkyrie laughed. Before they knew it they'd reached the medical bay. Tanith let go of their arms, "Hello" Clarabelle said appearing behind them suddenly, "Nye is in its office, if you're looking for it." She finished wandering off before they could reply, Skulduggery grabbed Valkyries hand and walked them into Nye's office, Tanith decided to stay in the waiting room. The pair walked into the office, where Nye was having some tea. "Ah, if it isn't the skeleton detective and his partner, what do you need fixing this time?" It drawled sarcastically, Valkyrie pulled up her sleeve, Nye seemed almost shocked, until now Valkyrie hadn't thought it capable of the emotion. "Er, well it sat up, going to a cabinet behind the pair and pulling out a bottle of something, "let me see." It demanded, she hesitantly unclipped the bandage, unwrapping it slowly, the cuts had nearly stopped bleeding now, Nye looked at it for a few moments, "The long one needs stitches" it said, "follow me." It walked out of the room, closely followed by the detective duo. Valkyrie pulled her sleeve down, stuffing the bandage in her pocket. "Sit down." Nye ordered, motioning to the dentist-like chair. She sat, "take these." It ordered shoving some folded leaves into her palm, she did as she was told. Soon she couldn't feel her arm, it pulled out a needle and began stitching, it was done in do time. "The thread will dissolve in an hour or two. It then applied some of the stuff out of the bottle onto the cuts, before wrapping them in a fresh bandage. It then put cream on the other arm, 'for the old scars' she presumed, it wrapped that arm as well. Soon they were finished, it gave her a packet of leaves and some more bandages before they were allowed to leave. Tanith greeted them in the waiting room. Valkyrie informed her that it'd be an hour or two before her stitches dissolved. They made small talk for a while, wandering around the sanctuary, before Tanith said she had to go. The trio parted ways, Valkyrie going with Skulduggery.
***
They drove back to Gordon's mansion, talking about cases for the majority of the trip.
Valkyrie told Skulduggery to stay the night, he said he would. She told him he could meditate in one of the spare rooms or in the lounge room, he said the lounge would be fine. Little did she know, he was actually watching her sleep all night.
