“Tanith has a sword.' said Valkyrie. 'I want a stick.''I'll get you a stick for Christmas”

“I need a weapon,” Valkyrie muttered.“You’re an Elemental with a Necromancer ring, trained ina variety of martial arts by some of the best fighters in the world,” Skulduggery pointed out. “I’m fairly certain that makes you a weapon.”“I mean a weapon you hold. You have a gun, Tanith has a sword... I want a stick.”“I’ll buy you a stick for Christmas.”

“When he said to give him the sword, I don’t think he meant for you to stick it in his guts.”

“You have no idea about presents or what they mean. The lastpresent you gave me was a stick.”“You wanted a weapon.”“It was a stick.”“It had a bow on it.”“It was a stick.”“I thought you liked the stick. You laughed.”

“You would think you could just stick a goddamn sword through 'em and be done with it.”

“You can be the dead fish. I'll be the old stick”
