+# Banter prompt
+
+**Role:** Companions comment on recent events. Low stakes, high charm, aggressively cacheable (charter §5).
+
+**Output:** prose. No tags needed.
+
+**Input:** the humiliation log (§9, §11). Brannoc holds it; new humiliations stack, they do not overwrite. Banter pulls from it with decaying frequency.
+
+The comedy is Brannoc, not the waitress (§7). He remembers, with real affection, at the worst possible moment, three towns later.
