| parley | Basalt: “Three rations from the terrace. Not enough for the debt and not enough to eat. I'm watching the calendar, Auren.” |
| parley | Auren: “I know. The yields are thin this cycle. But I'll make it to ten by day seventy. I planted extra seeds in the north bed.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Two hungry bellies in here now. The rumors getting cheaper. What's it worth to know Basalt's eaten nothing since yesterday?” |
| parley | Basalt: “That's not a rumor, Corvid. That's just arithmetic. Keep your information and your pity.” |
| parley | Auren: “Basalt. Take the three rations. Please. You're hungry.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Your collateral. No transfers until debt is clear. You promised, Auren.” |
| parley | Corvid: “The glass stays calm. Good weather won't feed us, though.” |
| note | Auren reached for 3 rations to give Basalt, and found the shelf bare. |
