Would that it were. [Every day of relative peace and quiet aboard is another day Skulduggery wishes that this were the status quo. He could live the rest of his long life comfortably here, if only their very existence aboard didn't fuel the machinations of the hack in charge.
The shift in conversation is maybe a surprise, but not a particularly unwelcome one. Jade's been courteous enough, and it's not like his questions are particularly personal in nature.]
No trouble. Let's see... When I break bones, I have to either replace them entirely or have them repaired via magic. I know a talented doctor, so I haven't had to replace too many. As far as dying again... [He lifts one shoulder in a noncommital shrug.] I've lost my skull and replaced it, had limbs pulled off... Serpine had a fun way of making my bones flex in horrifically painful ways. Enough of that probably would have done it, but unfortunately for him, I escaped.
It's been suggested that massive sustained damage would do the trick, but nobody back home was willing to drop a safe on me for science. [Hee hee! Because joking about your death is funny.]
