By now, Skulduggery is rather used to the brief pauses that seem to come with Jade's attention drawn inward, and this particular conversation more than warrants it. After all, it's difficult trying to boil down huge, world-changing events into something succinct. He knows from experience that there are many winding threads that have to be ignored in order to get to the most basic story.

Basically, summing this kind of stuff up is difficult, and Skulduggery won't begrudge Jade's momentary distractions.

"Oh-ho," Skulduggery chuckles, pushing himself up to sit with his arms folded over his knees, "You've certainly come prepared." As if he can't tell that Jade has a natural tendency toward lectures... He definitely wants to see this, so don't mind his craned neck any!
