parleyBasalt: “I went to bed hungry again. That's twice this week. My ledger remembers.”
parleyAuren: “I know, and I'm sorry. The terrace gave us three today—take two. That leaves me barely enough, but you're starving.”
parleyBasalt: “Two rations from you puts me at two for today. Survival math. I'll take it, but this doesn't erase the debt, Auren.”
parleyCorvid: “We're both skeletal, and you two are negotiating charity. Charming. Auren, I'm also hollow. I need rations by day seventy-nine or Basalt here gets to write another grudge in that book of his.”
parleyAuren: “I know the promise. The terrace will have more by then. I believe it.”
parleyBasalt: “Belief is a luxury for the full. I'll hold you to it, as always.”
