Skulduggery decided to put aside the idea that this is the afterlife, just for a minute, and focus on the more pressing issues at hand. That is, reassuring Steven that everything is going to be fine.

"The last excursion was a highly-structured battle to the death, which has left everyone understandably nervous as to what we might encounter here. The lack of structure so far indicates that we're most likely not dealing with another death match." Probably. Maybe. He actually has no idea, but he's going to say it confidently enough to hopefully give somebody else peace of mind. "The reason it's so quiet, why there aren't any animals or insects, is because the magic here is limited. Nothing is alive here, not even the trees."

He tilts his head, thinking over for a second, and then nods. "And you haven't annoyed me yet. I'm enjoying your company." It's probably the first thing he's enjoyed all day, honestly.
