Time in which to buy notebooks. For work, Skulduggery wonders, or pleasure? Likely a mixture of both. Akito doesn't present as conscientious, but anyone who's used his delivery service - or spoken with him more than a few times - would be able to tell he takes his responsibilities seriously.

Skulduggery means to ask if there's been any news regarding the two Chihuelans Yunxu has captive, but stops in favour of asking another question first. "Why is your hair white?"

Either Akito's found a sample of whatever granted shapeshifting abilities, or white hair is becoming a Keeliain epidemic.
