"Well, see... I figure once the flag is stuck in the ground underwater, we don't really know how much shorter the flag pole gets from the top of it to the ground. Best to measure the actual depth of the water, y'know?" Did that make sense? 'Cause sometimes Toby made jumps that were logical to him and wasn't all that great at explaining. He gestured back to his flag, rippling in the breeze.
"The flag's just to mark the point so it's the same place every time. If we only measured it once-" which... Toby didn't see why they would, other than pure curiosity about how deep the shallows of the lake were
"-we wouldn't need the flag at all." But anyway, YEAH, Toby had no issues with Adi following his lead. It was like helping, and Toby loved helping.
AHA! There it was. Toby eyed the parchment and self-inking quill that he'd placed in a very obvious place on the ground, ignoring the fact that it was near impossible to have missed it. While Adi redid his own measurements, Toby quickly scribbled something down for his own log. He'd do it all neatly later.
Hm? Okay? Right, leaving. Yeah. Had to go finish his run, then get all dry and everything, go take his potions and maybe get a little NEWT study in before breakfast.
"Cool stuff, Adi. See you in-" Wait what.
"Uh, I think it's more like six hours. Six hours and... a weird amount of minutes." Toby thought it would definitely be wise to correct Adi on that one, but he could recheck the notice board later if he wanted.
"I'll see you then."
And, after a salute and a quick farewell, Toby set off to finish his run around the ground, still holding onto his parchment and quill.
Actual depth from the water. Yes, that made sense, actually. Adi nodded at Tobias.
"Your brain is working better than mine this early morning,'' he said with a shake of his head. His own brain was demanding hot chocolate right now. Hehe. And it was so cool of the other Puffer not minding Adi being a copy cat/ badger.
Adi finished up adjusting his notes. Er... what? He had gotten the time wrong, too?
Gosh, he was really off this morning. Thank goodness for Tobias!
"Right! I got mixed up with the minutes and hours. I think it's six hours and twelve point five minutes.'' What precise timing. Meh.
"Soooo, that would be about twelve oh six point five PM.'' That time sounded funny but on the bright side, it would be about lunch time so plenty of time for him and Toby to get back here.
"See ya then! And don't forget about the time!'' Adi called after his housemate as the boy took off. He on the other hand would jog back to the Castle for a nice cup (or cups) of hot chocolate.
.............................
Twelve PM! Adi was back at the Lake after a quick lunch although he did have a scone in his hand and which he was currently nomming on. Whereeeee was Toby, by the way? He hadn't forgotten had he? Gosh, if the boy didn't show up on time Adi figured he would just do the measuring for him. What Flamsteed didn't know wouldn't hurt him
