Self-reply, sorry.
@pindicator - Or, what would you be willing to offer for me giving up my interest in the bananas.
FYI your peak tile can probably see my settler in the area. I won't settle until we resolve this discussion, I just want to be able to move forward quickly if we agree for me to get the spot.

...do you have anything in mind? I have pretty decent maps of the area northeast of the ivory, but I imagine you've got better.
Well, I'm really after that ivory. So my options are either to negotiate with you while i race Ichabod to the ivory. Negotiate with you and Ichabod. Or force myself into the area.
Which has me leaning towards taking this offer and just forgetting about the ivory.
Post your screenshot of the area NE of the ivory and agree to not scout my coast. I'm probably giving up way too easy here, but I'm not too keen on attacking right now either.

I had our agent ask politely, and your smiths cheerfully gave him the secrets of Metal Casing.
In other news, guys, before everyone goes all emo about Parkin, he is capable of being stolen from.

Cool, I'll walk spies 50 tiles though hostile terrain to do so. That's super hammer efficient since they'll never be caught!

There should be some kind of an award for first stolen tech. Unless being the target of mackoti and seven's wrath is the prize.

@pindicator - Your city spot offer is very fair. I've pondered more though and I wonder if you'd consider a counter-offer.
My concern is that 1) my expenses are already pretty high, so another city that won't pay back it's investment wouldn't really be ideal yet if land wasn't so scarce, and 2) while you've acted honorably towards me this game I know your army is still quite dangerous and I'd be creating a rather long front.
So while I'm prepared to plant the city next turn in a perfect world I'd probably wait quite a while to plant if I was assured the spot. Rather than trying to pay you a higher price though, it seems the city may just give you more value.
Would you be interested in the city spot (agreeing to not plant within 1 tile of the bananas...I won't contest the resource, I just don't want overlapping borders) in exchange for 1) right of passage to move my missionary towards the east (Moogle doesn't talk to me and the path around his land to the north is blocked by another civ) like we've long discussed and 2) a modest NAP?

What's the position of this proposed city, Sunrise? I think it'll mess up with my planned city.

@sunrise. I can agree to that in principle. How long a NAP are you expecting?
@ichabod. How fast is your horse?

It's not about a fast horse, is about a proxy attack by Sunrise.
