Ah. So Hayley had lied after all; likely to spare herself a lecture as much as anything else. Since Skulduggery hadn't come to him first, regardless of what he said--he could have told her to ask Solomon and left it at that--Solomon wasn't inclined to mention that part.

"What truth was that?" he asked, vaguely amused and genuinely curious as to what 'truth' Skulduggery meant, in relation to Solomon himself.
