Actually it's a belated present to make up for the skeleton jokes--but it's good to know you weren't a November baby. I'll tick that one off the calendar. One of these days I'll figure it out--process of elimination and all that.
Because I don't think I've ever gotten a present from you before.
[Not unless the Bentley figurines count, and Skulduggery still hasn't figured out exactly where those came from. In fact, before meeting Valkyrie, he rarely got presents from anyone.]
[Quiet on this end of the line now. Erskine could tell the truth, that he's been too busy for the last few centuries to bother with presents even for his brothers--first the war, and then everything that came after. Somehow they always end up reminding each other about that, though. The bad times. Not the times when they were close enough they could finish each others' sentences. Why don't they ever remind each other of those?]

I thought it was rather... I don't know. Festive.

Skulduggery, have you forgotten the most famous reindeer of all?

[His tone makes it clear: you do it, you die. Or at the very least, Skulduggery hangs up.]

Anyway, like I said. Blame the reindeer on Klaus. Any other bones to pick?
