"If she was trapped in somewhere like this," Valkyrie said, "that'd be it, though, wouldn't it? There'd be no chance of talking to her, of getting her to control herself or anything like that?"

"That would be impossible. The only reason Argeddion hasn't escaped is because he's been kept in an artificially induced coma. We can't allow him to wake up - ever. With Darquesse, it would be even more important to keep her sedated. If you give someone like that a moment of consciousness, she'd kill you and everyone else."

"Well," Valkyrie said, frowning, "that sucks."

Lament looked surprised. "You'd prefer the alternative?"

"No," she said quickly. "No, I was just thinking, from her perspective that sucks, not from our... Never mind. Could we have a copy of the plans?"

"I don't see why not," said Lament. "But do you have enough people to monitor her? Do you have anyone who'd be willing to give up the rest of their life to spend with her?"

"I would," Skulduggery said.

11.   Who is louder in bed?

darky’s a screamer. she prides herself on being able to get noises out of him, but vile’s Loud is still your average person’s Quiet and he makes her work for it

38.   Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts? 

it’s vile, and he sucks at it. neither of them have the attention span god gave a goldfish and they’re both easily distracted by The Shiny, so the things he brings her tend to be like. a bone from some dude he smoked. a cool rock he found. something shiny that fell off a car while he was wrecking it. live prey is always a winner, though it’s a toss-up whether they’ll get to murder the poor asshole together (aka, date night) or whether she’ll decide she wants him to keep out and fight him over the would-be victim.  

61.   Who picks fights for no reason just so they can have kinky sex?

kinky sex is kind of a given with these two regardless, but it’s darquesse. she likes to poke the bear. vile’s temper changes on a dime so it’s never guaranteed what exactly will make him flip or how much of her nonsense he will tolerate and that makes him very fun to play with. 

72.   Who’s the first one to admit they have feelings for the other?

darquesse, in as much as that she’ll refer to him as ‘hers’, is viciously jealous over his attention and would probably be sad if he died. she’ll also get prickly and sulkily withdraw if she’s called on actually liking him.

vile has feelings for her, in his own way, but he’d never admit it out loud, and she’s not the type to be trying to coax a love confession out of him. he will step into a fight to take the heat off her while she heals herself, tolerates her being handsy with him and would probably not actively decide to kill her. it’s enough. she knows.

85. Who kisses first? Who initiated the first kiss?
