Skulduggery Pleasant RP, always accepting.

She turned her head to the sound, seeing Skulduggery walking over to her. Oh, so now it suited him to notice that something was up? The greatest detective since...ever and he wasn't noticing little things. He was losing his edge. “Hi.”, she said shortly, her shoulders stiff and her mouth was set in a tight line. The knuckle she had hurt when punching the wall was throbbing slightly and she lightly pressed one finger down on it. Her other knuckles were red and she felt a small stinging pain where the wall had cut her hand. It was bleeding a little, but not enough to cause damage. Stupid pain, she'd destroy pain if she could but it was a part of life...unless she destroyed life... No. Maybe...

Skulduggery~
Skulduggery stayed silent as he watched Valkyrie's reaction. He felt a little hesitant to say something, seeing her expression. Then, he intook a small amount of breath as he recognized the expression she was wearing on her face. The bitter face she always made when she was tempted to give in to Darkquess. He strode over to her and shook her by the shoulders. "What were you thinking of just then?" he whispered under his breath.

Her approached her and she stood her ground. When he grabbed her by the shoulders, she was tempted to shove him back, but didn't. She avoided "eye contact", looking down instead. “Nothing.”, Valkyrie lied, not wanting him to lecture her on how Darquesse was dangerous. She knew that, but maybe it would be easier to just give in...would take away pain and suffering and temptation. But seeing as Skulduggery was a freakin lie detector, he would most likely know.

Skulduggery~
Skulduggery knew Valkyrie was hiding something from her. He was tempted to slap her in the face until he told her, but that wouldn't help anyone. Instead, he loosened his hold and gave a small sigh. "Valkyrie, oh Valkyrie," he muttered. "When are you going to start trusting me? I'm your partner, remember?"

“I do trust you.”, she said quietly, keeping her eyes down, before looking up at him. Valkyrie hesitated a few seconds before speaking again. “You really want to know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking, what are we doing, capturing people who don't even matter. I'm thinking how much easier it would be to just give into Darquesse, how it would take away the pain and suffering and her voice constantly speaking in my mind!”, her eyes were narrowed slightly as she said this, anticipating his reaction as one of shock, anger and perhaps sympathy.

Skulduggery~
Skulduggery took all this in in silence. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Then what do you propose we do? Give in to the darkness? Kill all of your family, your friends and acquaintances?" He tilted his head and the silence that followed was an uncomfortable one. "Is that what you're really proposing?" he asked.

She looked down at the floor again. “Yes, I mean no! I don't want to kill my family and friends! I just want her out of my head!”, Valkyrie snapped, turning and hitting her head against the wall.

Skulduggery~
Skulduggery watched Valkyrie with a blank expression. He could kind of understand what she was going through. It had been the same with him and Vile. Those voices calling him all the time. Indeed, they had been hard to resist. Skulduggery placed a gentle hand on Valkyrie's back. "You know we're all trying to do that. But the one who has to keep her under control is you. Just keep in mind that if you give in to her, you're going to lose it all. Your little sister will die by your hands." He paused for a moment letting it sink in. "Just know that I'm here for you, Ok?"

Valkyrie looked at Skulduggery, a small tear in the corner of her eye. She nodded at his words glancing at the wall again. Now her head was hurting, but she didn't care. “Maybe if I died, everything would be better then...”, she said quietly to herself.

Skulduggery~
Skulduggery was extremely tempted to hit Valkyrie on the head to make her see some sense. "And what do you plan to achieve that way? Are you just going to do run away like all the bad guys we've fought these past few years? I would never had thought I'd raised you to be like this," he said bitterly. Skulduggery softened his tone of voice. "But never mind that now. Let's go and get a drink to calm you down shall we?"
