    Summary

    If Grace had to pick one word to describe the trip to Erid, it would be boring.

    If he had to pick a second word to describe it . . . it would be lonely.

    Or, on the way to Erid, Grace is getting pretty touch starved, but he had kinda already been touch starved? So he improvises.

    Summary

    I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.

    And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.

    For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.

    “Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.

    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    “Human brain needs fix. Has eat, question?”

    “Yep. My carefully rationed coma slurry,” I add pitifully.

    “When Grace last sleep, question?”

    Aw, darn. He got me.

    Ryland Grace never really tried to think much about his lack of sleep problem. That is, until he met an alien that insists on watching him sleep.

    (in which Rocky conducts a sleep experiment, and of course chaos and love ensue)
