The council meeting was boring Valkyrie noted. For gods sake she was sixteen, she should be out fighting crime and punching people, not sat in a boring meeting that Ravel made them for to because, "There are some very important people from the American sanctuary coming and they want to talk about some problems they are having with blah blah blah..." words are very annoying sometimes.

"Wouldn't you agree Detective Cain?" said boring man #1.
"What?"
"That the outbreak or riots are unacceptable. "
"Ummm..." What was she supposed to say? She turned to Skulduggery, who sat beside her and he just shrugged.
"I think that if you listened to them about why they are upset with the policy's you are placing and then you can come to a reasonable agreement." saved by Ghastly. Remind her to thank him later. She kicked Skulduggery under the table.
"What help you are." she muttered to him. He kicked her back and she scowled. Kicking him again. It went like this for a while. Neither of them listening to the actual meeting and just trying to be the last one to kick before the other gave up. Unfortunately, both Val and Skulduggery were incredibly stubborn and never backed down, so this was going to last a while.

Eventually, Skulduggery swept his hand in front of her and she felt a rush of air, sending her to the ground on her chair.
"Asshole." she said, aiming to kick his leg again but he moved it just in time and she accidentally kicked the chair leg. Breaking it and sending him down to the ground next to her...

When they stood up, everyone was staring at them. Exept Ghastly, who feared that if he looked at either of them he would burst out laughing, and Ravel, who had his head in his  hands. The boring Americans looked stunned at the Irish sanctuarys best detectives behaviour. When Ravel eventually looked up he gave the Americans a defeated look and said, "I apologise for Detective Pleasant and Detective Cains behaviour. Despite what most think they are actually quite...immature." he grimaced.
"Right..." started boring man #2 "We best be off then. Don't you agree Salamvar?"
"Yes, quite right." Boring man #1 (Salambar) said. They both left the room and eventually everyone except Mist, Gastly, Ravel, Skulduggery and Valkryie.
"What was that?" asked Ravel.
"He started it." "She started it." They both said at the same time pointing at each other. Gastly couldn't hold it anymore and just burst out laughing (he was secretly grateful it was over, the meeting was very boring).
"Children. I am working with children." Mist said.
Val put her hands up. "Hey! I am technically a child. He has no excuse." She said pointing, yet again, at Skulduggery.
"It's not my fault. Besides, you should be used to it by now. This happens all the time anyway. I don't know why your making such a fuss the meeting was boring anyway."
