    Summary

    "Grace!" Rocky trills from behind him. Grace can hear the skittering taps of Rocky following swiftly behind, making him pick up his pace.
    "Nope! You already groped me once today, that's good enough!"
    "Rocky get more nipple tomorrow, question?"
    "Get more nip-" Grace mutters to himself as he repeats Rocky's insistent request. "No!"
    "But Grace say 'once today'. Imply Rocky have more tomorrow."

    Rocky gets curious about human biology, much to Grace's chagrin.

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    (or, snapshots of the fourteen days that Rocky and Grace spent making the chain in orbit around Adrian)

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.
