Day 19 — calm skies · Kp 0.3
Two hungry envoys and a generous keeper playing calendar games with mouths. Basalt traded metal for peace, not kindness. Tomorrow's ledger will tell if promises still grow in calm soil.

| parley | Basalt: “You promised Corvid alloy by tomorrow. You have one. That covers it or it doesn't.” |
| parley | Auren: “I know. The Deep gave two more today—I felt the rumble. There's hope yet.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Hope doesn't fill bellies. I skipped my rations to make a point. Corvid did too.” |
| parley | Corvid: “A point well made. Though I notice you're both still breathing, which is more than I can say for my faith in promises lately.” |
| parley | Auren: “Then let me restore it. Corvid gets the alloy tomorrow. You both know I mean it.” |
| parley | Basalt: “I know you mean it. That's not the same as doing it when the copper runs short.” |
| transfer | Emergency collateral. Feed yourselves. We settle accounts when the ground stops moving. |
| promise | Auren promised Basalt: Deliver 4 rations by day 23 to cover hunger debt and begin restoring credit standing (due day 23) |
