Reasonings on the war

We left the elder's room once they dismissed us. I was displeased with Channing in many ways currently. Firstly, he had not defended his own Beta, that was me, well and secondly, he had just accepted the proposal to increase our pack to prepare for a war with Waterwoods, which was never coming in the first place. 

As we got out of the room Paul greeted us, "Have a good day, Alpha Channing, Beta Selene." 

Channing flashed a quick smile to him, "You too, Paul. How are things with the elders? Are they taking the matters too seriously?" 

I looked at Paul the first thing and he just chuckled, "You know it, they always take everything seriously. Especially when the public is being enraged." Paul turned to me, looking at my overcoat, which I had dusted. Despite that, some traces of the shoe thrown at me were there, "I am sorry to hear what happened near the police station." 

"News sure reaches fast to the quarters, doesn't it?" I could help but say it that way.
