Mr. Shudder? It's Aqua. I spoke to a friend of yours, Skulduggery Pleasant, and he told me you might be looking for an assistant? I have training in spell casting and combat, and I don't mind helping with upkeep either.

[She's not entirely what else to say.]

...If you would like, I can demonstrate my abilities for you at some point.

[She pauses again.]

I'd also like to thank you again for all your help when I first arrived. It was very kind of you. I'm truly grateful.
