SLI
Behavioral Portrait
She works until it's done, then stops. She's not performing anything. The joke, when it comes, is dry and timed and already over before you've processed it. She knows how to fix the thing and will, without needing to discuss it first. Spend enough time with her and you notice she pays close attention to things - how something is made, the quality of the light at a certain hour - just not to you in particular.
