[They are obviously done with their shopping: Cam got his grapes. Cam puffs out his chest a little bit, having ascertained that he’s survived something truly metal.]
It wasn’t such a big deal. [He just barely avoided dying, that’s all. He definitely didn’t need to be rescued by a certain elven princess,] Burnt my pants right off.
[That’s an exaggeration. Why would you even brag about that?]
[It is working! Cam loves talking about himself as long as those topics don't include his dead sister.]
Oh yeah. All the time. You might not believe it, but I'm a pretty big hero back home. [Not a lie. There's even an Avatar-the-Last-Airbender-Ember-Isles-esque stage play going on about their adventures. Cam might have been portrayed like a giant idiot in it, because it was written by someone who hates him, but like hell Cam is going to mention that.]
A guy like you has probably seen some action too, right? Or is all of that armor just for show?
Hardly for show. [ He sounds offended by the very notion. ] I wouldn't be the deputy of the Shepherds had I not seen my fair share of action upon the battlefield.
[ And then they talked all the way home, at which point Fred made dinner and Cam had his grapes and it was all great, the end. ]

I hope you managed to find another pair of pants with little trouble.
[ Going around pantsless....the horror. He would just die of mortification if that ever happened to him. ]
You must have been on many the adventures then.
[ Look, he's trying to Bond(TM), is it working. ]
