"Mhmm, turning in the last of the reports sir.
"So, uh, what do you think of them? A bit strange?"
"No, not strange, we've been expecting this for a long time. We only needed a incident like this in order to get feedback from the nobles. Never knew why the took so long."
"Sir, we've been attacked. Along the border."
"Mhmmk. Well, you know the drill, scour the place for evidence, etc."
"Well, we've found some evidence. Some white oak ashes were found near the engagement."
"so?"
"White oak is foreign, sir. It doesn't grow here. There are also traces of kerosene, and some damaged rifle mechanisms. It certainly isn't ours, we have to consult with the Erinaumian officials and the Avalonian chaps about where these bolts came from."
"Well, I guess it's a good thing metal doesn't melt easily, isn't it?"
