"...Oh."

Skulduggery's pace still doesn't change, although he falls silent for a few paces after Darcy's attempt to cut his arguments off at the pass. She does a good job of it. It truly is baffling, the idea that she would try to teach Stede a lesson by putting her life in danger like that. He supposes the lectures revolved around needlessly risking her life and making reckless decisions.

He actually doesn't say anything for a few moments, until they've reached the elevator and he's pressed the down button with some well-applied air pressure.

At last, he slowly says, "You're right. It was a monumentally dumb idea. I don't see the point in needlessly traumatizing either captain over Stede Bonnet's naivete."
