| parley | Basalt: “Auren. You have rations. I have hunger and a memory that does not soften.” |
| parley | Auren: “Basalt, friend—I grew only two today, and Corvid is starving as well. I can give you one, if you'll trust me for the rest.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Trust is a luxury I cannot afford. What collateral do you offer?” |
| parley | Corvid: “He offers his word, which has always been good to me. Though I confess I'm also curious what happens when the Keeper runs dry.” |
| parley | Auren: “I won't run dry. The Terrace promises. Take the ration, Basalt. The Aerie catches rumors; Corvid will trade them for tomorrow's yield.” |
