    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

    Summary

    “Was that your first kiss?”

    “No.”

    “No?” Fiyero gasped so theatrically she had to laugh. “Oh now I have to know, who is it that I have to be jealous of the rest of my days?”

    She snorted and smacked him lightly in the arm.

    “Some boy at a party.” She waved it off, “I never even knew his name.”
