"I don't know anything about magic," Ava confesses, as an out. "Even though Skulduggery has very patiently attempted to teach me." Bringing up another name, to test how far the research for her project has gone.

"He didn't talk to much of anyone, all last month," Ava comments. "But otherwise, yeah. We've chatted. Didn't seem like much of a bastard to me."
