"Most employees give their employers gifts to impress them, or to earn their favour. Is there something else Larrikin would have appreciated, Anton?"

i felt the strong need to share this line because it keeps making me giggle everywhere.

for those without context: Larrikin is gay and when he was alive he was forever trying to get Anton into someone else's pants.

(it didn't work too well, obviously. but he tried. and appreciated the fantasies.)

I was so proud of that line.

And so gleeful that for once I can have Skul make innuendos and it's IC

Never ever.

It's referring to exactly what you think it's referring to.

Larrikin is infectious like that.

PERFECT

continuing the trend of Skul and Larrikin shipping Anton and Dante:

'"No," he said firmly, "Larrikin would have remained continuously disappointed."'

'In Dante, Skulduggery didn't ask, or in your refusal to hear him out?'

Hey. Skulduggery's just been possessed, okay. Cut him some slack.

possessed by not!Larrikin and now he's acting the Larrikin? never.

There might be some bias there.

well Anton called Skul impotent like two seconds later so probably for both of them XD
