[Well, it's not a surprising thing to find Skulduggery digging so intensively of late. They'd already spoken of how difficult it is for an animate skeleton to pass the time in a place like this anyhow...to say nothing of his past bouts of instability, which surely may or may not be related here. No real way to tell from an outside perspective--but, well, if waking up to an occasional letter-length wall of text stuffed to the brim with new information is going to become something of a norm in this friendship, Jade's certainly not about to start complaining?
There's a lot here, to be sure! It takes a couple of passes in reading, all of it very interesting to say the least...though, as Jade goes through the motions of acquiring breakfast with phone in hand, that last bit there...sure does feel very topical to address first and foremost, about now. If only for the brief twinge of utterly dry amusement that it does manage to bring about, despite the rather grim prospects of the rest of the message chain--]
Oh, of course he doesn't take his coffee black. 🙄 With designed foam, no less...goodness forbid we might yet mistake him for a man of well-rounded adult tastes, after all! [Yes he is enjoying this news, it's the little things to add to one's internal captain-roasting dossier...!] Actually waffles can be quite agreeable enough, but timing is very critical in the matter; I prefer them on the crispier end of things myself, less syrup and a few more fruit sides. If left to cool for too long they'll turn out rather more rubbery than not regardless, too.
But, all that aside. No surprise he didn't eat the waffle, no. Did you even actually see him drink from the coffee cup while you were there? Surely he's beyond the need for worldly sustenance, at this point...I'm not even sure why he would have a preference for sweet coffee. Can he even taste things? Whatever would happen to anything he eats? Burn away like flesh in the void of his head? I wonder

[--Wait, no, getting sidetracked. Knee-jerk scientific curiosity over the matter of what in the world the captain even is will have to be set aside--and it's easier to cut oneself off through text, at least. Pardon a bit of a pause, about here, while Jade's cutting himself off that tangent and also settling properly at a café table on the Promenade. But at length!]
