| parley | Basalt: “Two envoys starving, Auren. The math gets clearer every day.” |
| parley | Auren: “Then let me make it simpler. Take four of my new rations. I owe you the debt anyway.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Four rations don't clear ten. And your word spent faster than your crops grew.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Basalt's anger smells like hunger. Auren's generosity smells like desperation. Both are real, both are useful.” |
| parley | Auren: “What do you want, Corvid?” |
| parley | Corvid: “The same thing I always want: to know what happens next, before it does.” |
