Protector of the Small Trivia

1. In 'Lady Knight', which soldier explains, "And you what nearly ruined the embroidering"?

From Quiz Who Said It? - "Protector of the Small" Edition

Answer: Corporal Fulcher

The sentence looks like it is written incorrectly, but that's only because Corporal Fulcher doesn't know how to speak. In this case, he is talking to his fellow Corporal, Wolset, about the flag that was made for Kel at Haven, with her personal badge on it. Dom begins the conversation by asking Kel if she likes her flag. Kel says she loves it, and Wolset informs her that it was actually his idea to make the flag, not Dom's. Fulcher then reminds Wolset that it was he who almost ruined the flag.
