Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Evening. The ferry left three minutes early, and I am delighted and appalled.
Early is a fault, but a funny one. My cars never leave early; they leave exactly when they are afraid to.
A nine! You're supposed to grade harshly, Octavian.
I grade harshly on rattles. People I grade on a curve called Odalys.
The challenge
The tide table says we dock at 9:42. I put my faith in it.
Faith in a tide table is the most romantic engineering I know. I will meet you at 9:42 and not one minute early.
Let me hold your ledger and you hold my thermos.
Deal. Mine is plum tea, which is the only thing I keep at a constant temperature.
The decision
I did not expect to log this one under good.
Neither did I. Entry accepted, no corrections.
Then it's settled, in ink.
In ink, then. I will ride the 6am car with a second cup, and this time the rattle is yours to grade.
