[Oh you think he doesn't feel that smirk in her aura? He's going to coddle you so badly, now. There's no escaping the kind gesture coming your way!]

You'll be one of the first I'll tell. And if you dig deep enough to find the concrete foundation, give me a shout.

[With that, he's off! Back into the forest -- well, into the trees, anyway. Skulduggery loops not-so-leisurely around back to the mess hall, breezing through the kitchen area with a forced disregard for anyone who might panic at the sight of a skeleton rifling through the pantry. He grabs two water bottles, debates on adding some sort of snack into the mix, and then decides that Clarke would beat him with his own arm if he tried to actually coddle her. She's a big girl, she can get string cheese on her own time.

On his way out, Skulduggery spots a towel draped over a chair; it's dry to the touch so he snags it. Sorry, Sharky random person who left their towel here, but it's going to good use.

About twenty minutes after he disappeared -- just long enough, perhaps, to be forgotten about? -- Skulduggery resumes his previous position in front of Clarke.]


Now, before you argue with me... [He drops the towel-wrapped water bottles on the ground within Clarke's reach, and then turns around and immediately walks away.]
