"A number of my friends are similar." Nearly all the Dead Men, as a matter of fact. Erskine, Dexter, Larrikin, Saracen, even Skulduggery--all of them, to varying degrees, used sarcasm and humour to take the edge off things which were important. It made them easier to swallow.
On the subject of angels ... well, on the subject of angels Anton didn't have much to say. Obviously the fact that Dante and Vergil were demons suggested angels existed--and even Valdis had made mention of them from her world. It was still another thing to hear the Archangels spoken of as if they were not only real, but tangible.
"I see," Anton said, but he didn't ask. It was Valdis's blade, and therefore Valdis's business. "But you are, obviously, free now. What do you intend to do?"
