    Summary

    Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.

    His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.

    A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.

    As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”

    Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.

    “I’m touch starved.”

     

    Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    Derlod stared at the window.

    His wings twitched, scuffed and dirtied. The once shimmering black feathers were dull and messy, their golden shine nowhere to be seen. Some part of him was glad for that.

    He stared harder.

    They itched. The bigger part of him was annoyed about that fact.

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Derlord doesn't know how to ask for help. He learns.
