Ah. If there wasn't even Necromancy - which was the easiest and, honestly, most plausible explanation for Skulduggery's resurrection - then Rita probably wouldn't have any answers. It had been a slim chance, so the disappointment Skulduggery felt surprised him. If the whole thing was a mystery even among the highest in the Necromancer Order, he silently chided himself, then why was there any reason to believe he'd solve it here?

Wherever 'here' was. Skulduggery still wasn't quite clear on that.

"Never mind, then," he spoke up after a moment. The former skeleton's blank expression made it difficult to tell if he would elaborate, but when he sat back a few quiet seconds later to stare up at the ceiling once again, it was as if Rita had ceased to exist.
