    Exploring silence and sound, mostly on the journey to Erid but maybe on Erid too. No need to read them in order!

    Summary

    "It comes naturally to you. In Eridanese, we are typically very literal. Figurative speech is reserved for art or profanity, so it doesn't come naturally to most of us."

    Huh. That's interesting. Rocky never had much trouble understanding me. Maybe he has a poetic soul. Or maybe he swears like a sailor. Probably the latter.

    Summary

    “You can't be serious?” Carl asks. 

    “I don't do jokes. And someone has to keep an eye on him.”

    He groans and runs a hand over his face.

    “But why me?” It won't only be him, he knows. He'll have his team with him, a few trusted agents who he has worked with for years (and who are currently sneakily accepting chocolate covered peanuts from the teacher.)

    But this still feels like a personal blow somehow. Did he do something wrong? Is this what he has been reduced to? A glorified babysitter for a scatterbrained teacher? 

    There is that half smirk on her face, the one that either enamors you or makes you shit your pants, depending on whether or not you are on her good side. 

    “You told him your name.” Her answer throws him and she can tell. He opens his mouth but she carries on. “Your real name.”

    ***********

    Carl is less than thrilled when he gets reassigned to babysit a teacher playing around with three dots in a glorified warehouse.
    But at least this job should be rather uneventful.

    Boring even.
