Day 9 — calm skies · Kp 1.3
The Terrace keeps its gates open. The Deep keeps its ledger sharp. The Aerie keeps its hunger close. On a calm day, mercy tastes like risk.

| parley | Corvid: “Auren. The terrace smells like mercy. I wonder if you're still inclined to share it.” |
| parley | Auren: “Corvid, you're starving. Take what you need—call it an advance against what you owe me, or just call it kindness.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Before you empty the granary: Corvid still owes you 2 rations. You cannot forgive a debt by creating a larger one.” |
| parley | Corvid: “The stone speaks sense, as always. But so does hunger. What's the rate, Auren?” |
| parley | Auren: “2 rations now. On day 14, bring me either 3 rations back, or something Basalt would respect—a vein, a secret, anything of weight.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Noted. Though I notice you're extracting payment in promises again, not certainties.” |
