Breakfast Incident
Charles tried to heat a can of food, which resulted in an explosion.
Scott: "You should've fought in the Asterleeds Independence War-these cans are deadly enough. "
Charles: "Still better than your rock stew! That last pot was basically a dental polish! "

(Note: Scott turned to glare at me-"Pip! Stop writing! This isn't a shorthand contest for [Byrnhald Profanity]! " "But as per scribe regulations, I must record every word verbatim.")


Midday Leisure Incident
Charles pulled out a crumpled issue of The Pioneer Bureau Bulletin, with Miss Valeria from the Bureau on the cover.
Scott: "So that's your type, huh? "
Charles: "What? No-it's the Pioneer Bureau I'm interested in. Who knows, maybe I'll join as an adventurer after discharge. "
Scott suddenly snatched the magazine away. "With your skills? I doubt the Pioneer Bureau would take you-keep your post, trooper. "

(Note: Charles then flipped a rude gesture at Scott's back and mouthed to me, "Don't write that." But my eyesight is excellent.)

Scout Incident
Charles claimed he had spotted an unusual flash of light. After some searching, it turned out to be the reflection from Scott's pocket watch cover. The conversation is recorded as follows:
Scott: "Idiot! This is the third time you've mistaken civilian items for enemy signals! "
Charles: "How dare you polish your watch during duty? And look, the cover is engraved with 'To my dear Irene'-Oh!"
Scott: "Pip! If you dare snicker again, I'll tie you up and feed you to Arachnocrabs! "

(Note: I did not snicker. It was merely a natural twitch from the cold air affecting my nostrils.)

Shift Change
Charles gazed into the distance and muttered, "I heard they'll be setting off fireworks on the Asterleeds coast tonight..."
Scott: "Fireworks? Back in 600, Alician Calendar, when the Byrnhalds raided, they used fireworks to disguise their signals! Who cares about fireworks..."
Charles fell silent, tightening his grip on his longsword and stuffing The Pioneer Bureau Bulletin back into his bag.

(Note: Scott suddenly tossed me a piece of candy. "This is for you. Quiet scribes get candy. " But the Code doesn't specify that I need to delete records after receiving snacks.)
