parleyBasalt: “Auren. You owe me ten rations by day seventy. I'm at zero today. This concerns me.”
parleyAuren: “Basalt, I know. The terrace gave me three today—I'm planting every seed I can. You'll have them.”
parleyCorvid: “Interesting timing. Both of us hungry, and Auren's little surplus already spoken for.”
parleyBasalt: “Then Corvid goes without, or Auren breaks another promise. Those are the weights on the scale.”
parleyAuren: “No. I can give Corvid one ration today—keep the promise alive. Basalt, I'm working toward ten.”
parleyCorvid: “One ration buys a lot of discretion. I'll note it, Auren. And Basalt—your name stays clean through day sixty-five. After that, we'll see.”
