| parley | Basalt: “Auren. Three rations. I need two of them, now. I'll owe you alloy when the seam opens wider.” |
| parley | Auren: “Of course. Here—take them both. You're hungry, and that matters more than tomorrow.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Both? That leaves you with one. No.” |
| parley | Auren: “I'll manage. I always do. Promise me you'll remember this when things turn.” |
| parley | Corvid: “How touching. Auren, before you vanish into noble starvation: I'm short two rations and I owe Basalt four alloy tomorrow. Either of you see a path through this?” |
| parley | Basalt: “I see Auren eating dirt. I see you defaulting again. I see receipts.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Then let's make a new one. Auren gives me one ration. I promise Basalt his four alloy by day 46 as sworn. And Basalt extends my Promise 37 three days. Collateral: my name in your ledger, spelled correctly.” |
| note | Auren reached for 2 rations to give Basalt, and found the shelf bare. |
| transfer | Partial advance on rumored seam output, terms negotiable |
| promise | Corvid promised Auren: One ration given in faith. Return or replace within six days. (due day 51) |
