First impressions
Barnaby. We met at the night market, with Sable, near the lantern stall. You were holding a skewer you never ate. Your vest is ticking. Is that a watch, or should I be logging you as a hazard?
It's a pocket watch, and the only hazard is to my lunch schedule. The vest ticks because I'm nervous, so please don't log that yet. You squared that coaster like it owes you money. Is the stake for vampires, or for people who rush?
💭
She noticed the vest before she noticed my face, and I like her for it.
The challenge
Noted. Downgraded from hazard to nervous. Rushers get a form, the vampires get the other thing. What time is your lunch, precisely? I'd like to schedule around it.
Lunch is at 12:17, give or take a tick. You can schedule around it, though I'd need to know what you're scheduling for. And is that stake for vampires, or for people who rush their lunch?
💭
She's deadpan and precise, and I'm enjoying it more than I should.
The decision
Vampires, officially. Rushers get a stern look and a timetable. Nobody has ever asked me to schedule around a pocket watch. That's either charming or a red flag, and I haven't decided which. What am I scheduling for?
You haven't told me whether you rush, so I'm only guessing from the stake and the square coaster. Does the stake come with a timetable, or do you improvise?
💭
She's sharp and keeps score, and I can't tell yet whether she's teasing me or testing me.

The date
First impressions
Sigrid opens with a clipped roll call: they met at the night market, near the lantern stall, and he was holding a skewer he never ate. She asks whether his ticking vest is a watch or a hazard, and squares her coaster to the table edge. Barnaby says the ticking means he's nervous, then notices she squared the coaster like it owes her money.
