Ignoring that empty feeling of hunger in the pit of his stomach, even as it grew by the second, was a harder feat than he'd imagined. How did Valkyrie manage it? If Skulduggery didn't occasionally remind her that she wasn't also a skeleton, that girl probably wouldn't ever eat. How she survived before meeting him was a mystery.
Skulduggery was more than happy to talk about sorcerers and magic in his own world, if only to use it as an excuse for avoiding the food in front of him. He'd had to explain magic - or at least his particular branch of it - a few times over the years, but this was only the third time in recent memory that he had to do it completely from scratch. Not to mention the first time in a long time that Skulduggery didn't have immediate proof in the form of his skeletal visage.
"Of course not," he answered brightly. "As I said before, I'm an Elemental. It's a longer and somewhat more difficult path of magic to master; most sorcerers become Adepts instead. Adepts work to master a greater variety of abilities that are more immediately powerful."
