[x] Office chair broke! …Figure out who to complain to

Notes:

-Old tailor is nowhere as good as the one Sumia suggested. Go there again! Coat kicks ass now.

-Genuinely cannot figure out how the fuck Chrom still manages to destroy this many training dummies while swamped as an Exalt. Should talk to Miriel about making "unbreakable" dummies.

-3rd Infantry's shields will be delayed due to supplier issues.

-Testing with Miriel showed that tome pages are difficult be ignited by a non-mage without some sort of priming. Some new combustible formulations have shown promise as explosive payload launched out of something "gentle" like a ballista, but Miriel figures we can use it to propel charges? She said she'd figure it out for tomorrow, but I lost most of my eyebrow during today's testing. (Maybe bring a mask tomorrow)

-2-12th needs their asses kicked. Officer review ASAP. See if Sully is free.

-Backrest on the office chair fell off. I have no idea who to complain to though. Figure an Exalt has more important priorities than my chair? Still haven't figured out who to go to.

-Donny can't cook anything other than beans. Someone needs to teach him literally anything else before he's on lunch duty again.

-Lon'qu took the new peeler. I think he was expecting something much sharper. I can still hear him sharpening it as I'm writing during dinner.

-Cordelia got wrapped up in a surprise overnight survival training session. Meeting rescheduled next week.

-Definitely never take the back route from the office ever ever ever ever again. Not unless you plan on getting cursed and dragged off by Tharja.

-Spicy gossip session today over tea. Frederick apparently likes someone (something?) that isn't Chrom? Further inquiry necessary… Also today's crumpets were especially good.

-Very nearly lost some skin on my ass for forgetting Classical Troop Formations at the office. TAKE CARE OF IT FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.

-Merchant quarter was useless for wedding gifts. I sure as shit can't afford anything anyone suggested there. When Cordelia's back, I'll ask her. She might have some decent suggestions since she knows Sumia well (and Chrom maybe a little too much). Or maybe she'll just suggest some wretched smut novella like last time. Maybe not.

-Vaike was an unusually slippery little bastard today. No idea where he went to hide.

-Chrom wants a drink tomorrow but was vague on when. Should be fine. Bed.
