parleyBasalt: “I ate dirt last night, Auren. Half a ration doesn't count. You owe me collateral by day 16, or I'm calling in every promise you've ever made.”
parleyAuren: “The Terrace gave us three today. I'm planting hope and paying debts—take two rations now, and let me keep one seed for tomorrow.”
parleyBasalt: “Two rations? That leaves you with two total. You're gambling with your own hunger.”
parleyAuren: “I know what I'm doing, old stone. Trust the soil.”
parleyCorvid: “Touching. Meanwhile, I've heard whispers that the Deep's veins run shallow this season. Better eat while you can, Basalt.”
parleyBasalt: “Let Corvid starve on rumors. Auren, I'll take your two rations. But day 16 comes fast.”
noteAuren reached for 2 rations to give Basalt, and found the shelf bare.
