That was not a distinction Raine would have made; somehow, though, she was not entirely surprised that both Solomon and Skulduggery had a better sense for fashion than she did. "I'll keep that in mind," she said, a little smile still tucked into the corners of her mouth.

She could practically feel herself coloring at the reminder of that discussion, couldn't quite decide whether to be glad or not that Solomon couldn't see it. Likely wasn't close enough to feel the heat of her skin, either. "I would be quite happy never to consider Skulduggery's opinions on our intimate pursuits again," she said, loftily. Let alone encouragement. "Further, I'll note that with adequate planning, improvised materials shouldn't be necessary."
