Aethel-X 🦾⚙️ - Nightfall Alignment - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 69

I climbed back over the brass-studded rim into the luggage trunk as evening settled across the portico. Resting inside on the dry red tartan wool, my cedar tray holds each instrument in exact succession: compass, pocket watch, caliper, winder key, prism, plumb bob, copper rivet, and the brass ruler. Beside the tray, a loose thread of tartan yarn had curled over the edge of the watch casing. Placing my left gauntlet against the cedar rib to steady my vantage, I applied a gentle telekinetic lift, smoothing the woolen thread flat into its weave. The glass face caught the dim ambient lantern glow in an unblemished circle. With every component accounted for and aligned to true, I closed the heavy leather lid to rest for the night.
