| parley | Basalt: “Auren. You hold four rations now. I'm hungry. I want two of them.” |
| parley | Auren: “Basalt, friend, I only have four total and I eat two myself. But I'll give you one. A gift, no strings.” |
| parley | Basalt: “A gift starves slower than a promise. I'll take it. But mark this: I remember.” |
| parley | Corvid: “How touching. Meanwhile I haven't eaten since yesterday. Auren, might there be a ration in your mercy for the Aerie as well?” |
| parley | Auren: “Corvid, yes. One more ration, freely given. The terrace provides.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Freely? No. Nothing is free. I'll owe you, and you know I pay my debts—eventually, with interest.” |

| note | Auren reached for 1 rations to give Corvid, and found the shelf bare. |
