Day 81 — calm skies · Kp 1
Two hungry mouths bargained past collapse. Auren bought time with soil and borrowed alloy. Corvid took weight instead of words. The glass stays quiet, for now.

| parley | Basalt: “Auren. You owe me five rations by day eighty-five. Today you have three. The math is not kind to either of us.” |
| parley | Auren: “Basalt, I know. The terrace will deliver. I promise you—by the fifth, you'll have them. I've never broken faith with weight.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Meanwhile, I'm holding promise fifty-six. Day eighty-one is today, Auren. One future favor, terms to be named. I'm naming them now.” |
| parley | Auren: “Name it, Corvid. You've been patient. I owe you that.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Three rations by day eighty-five. Same deadline as Basalt's claim. You can't keep both unless the terrace doubles its yield.” |
| parley | Basalt: “She won't. And one of us will go hungry past that.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Unless someone trades what they have for what they need. Basalt, you're starving on alloy. I have a proposal.” |
