He's silent through the pause, trying to process what the giant skeleton just said to him, really, and when it's his turn to talk he just - opens his mouth. And closes it a little, then opens it again, closes it faster this time, and he finds himself - honestly, pondering the skeleton's words. He wouldn't be the first person in the history of his world, his past life's world, and surely the skeleton's world, to reflect on the wisdom of Death, even if it wasn't exactly the most glamourous observation to muse upon.
Where I'm getting with this, is, when Doyle opens his mouth again, it's to say, absolutely serious: "Huh. You know, I never thought about that before."
He rubs his chin as he contemplates language some more, its gradual shift over time, and how old this made him all feel (despite not actually being that old at all, in this life).
It's safe to say that this isn't how the scholars of his past life would have imagined a meeting between their living god and Death would go. Somewhere, a reptilian philosopher has lost a bet.
