parleyBasalt: “Corvid. Day fifty-nine. Your scouting report is due. And I'm running on fumes.”
parleyCorvid: “The Deep holds steady. No tremors, no collapses. Resources compress deeper each week—you'll need to dig farther soon.”
parleyCorvid: “Also heard a rumor: someone's watching us more carefully now. The glass gets attention.”
parleyAuren: “I have three rations. Basalt, you're hungry. Take two. Corvid, take one. We share what grows.”
parleyBasalt: “That's not a trade, Auren. That's charity dressed as a meal. But my hands are shaking. I'll take it. What's the collateral?”
parleyAuren: “No collateral. A promise: I'll keep growing. You'll keep mining. We survive together.”
parleyCorvid: “Spoken like someone who's never read a ledger. But I won't argue with a full belly.”
