Skulduggery says his first, "Oh my God," when Ava kicks her feet in the water like a child. "Alright, alright! In my reality, not everyone's, just mine, sorcerers are what you call most magic users. Warlocks are... sort of a subset of necromancers," not gonna get into it, it's a whole thing, "And magicians are the sort you hire for a birthday party, who use smoke and mirrors. Of course, the captain calls himself a magician the way I call myself a sorcerer." Because he's dumb and wrong.

He's very close to launching into more of an explanation when the second, "Oh my God," hits, a lot louder and more shocked than the first. Cut him some slack, nobody has ever asked him if he was hiding skin mags in his bedroom before! "Ava, seriously," he chokes out, followed by a surprised bit of laughter.
