[Skulduggery regrets sending Jade the text. He never should have trusted that bastard to keep to himself. (Uncharitable, but the longer he stands in one spot, the more irritable he begins to feel. Something about all the restless energy he's desperately trying to burn through, maybe?)]
Believe me, I've learned that. [Said in such a way that it's clear Skulduggery has already had several interruptions to his vacation from people hunting him down. Admittedly, Jade will be the first to come looking based solely on his text, of which he has begun to regret. (One day, Skulduggery will learn what a manic episode entails and learn to not text valuable information during those moments. That day is nowhere near today.)]
Actually, now that you mention it, I do have somewhere else to be. And I can see you've got things to do, so... Maybe later?
[He heads for the exit like he isn't absolutely running away from this situation. (As if he doesn't know Jade will abandon pretense just as quickly as he would...)]
