First impressions
Notes in every pocket, and a cardigan over whatever that uniform is. You're clearly logging something. What's on the list tonight, besides me?
Logbook, technically, is for ships. These are just notes. The top one says: barometer, brass, real? Is it actually reading pressure, or is it for show?
💭
She checks the thermos like it's a chronometer. I want to know what she's measuring.
The challenge
Real. It reads pressure. Tap the face before you read it, because the needle sticks. Most people skip the tap, then decide it's decorative. Your note suggests you're not most people, or you're a liar with neat handwriting. Which one?
Neither, I'd say, which is the dull answer. It's an aneroid, strictly, so the tap works on the capsule, not the needle. I tapped it at four and it read 1019. The handwriting is tidy because I'm nervous, not because I'm lying.
💭
She knew the needle sticks, so she's not just being decorative. Now let's see if she asks me something.
The decision
You corrected my barometer, then called your handwriting tidy like it was evidence. Fair enough. But I've had a whole round of you checking my readings and not once giving me a reading of your own. I'm reading you clear, and we're not on the same band. I'm going to go.
