Will he ever let us forget about that...? We were younger, and stupid. But when you train to throw lances hard enough to pierce dragonhide, 'twould be an immense embarrassment to lose to a watermelon.

Lest you worry, we were sufficiently yelled at for misusing the trebuchets for play instead of defense, and made to walk all the way to a different post several malms away.

...I don't see why you should have been yelled at for that. Sure, maybe it wasn't intended for watermelons, but it was sort of like training, wasn't it?
Misusing city defense equipment for ridiculous banter isn't grounds for an angry senior knight to you? I'm sorry to remind you, but they all have sticks up their arses.
I have a hard time imagining it... if one of General Lin's men did something like that, I feel like he'd try to find some strategic way to use watermelons in a battle. It would definitely surprise the enemy!

Your General Lin seems far more lax... or perhaps, he's just odd.

...It's something of a deer-like animal.
[ Antelope would be a better approximation actually but hey. ]

I see... "deer-like," though? Is it much large than them?
