    Summary

    The Eridians don't have love words. Love is assumed -- structural, built into everything. But they do have a word for the specific feeling of being relieved someone exists. Not for what they give you. For what they are.

    Rocky has been trying to translate it for three years.

    Summary

    The slightly cold atmosphere of the ship feels like it’s been bumped up ten degrees, and Grace tugs at the collar of his shirt as he tries to flee the conversation, Rocky’s ball tumbling through the corridors behind him.

    “Graa-aa-aa-ce.”

    A deep, trembling sigh escapes Grace as he turns around and kneels in front of the xenonite ball to be eye to eye – figuratively – with his friend.

    “Look, Rocky. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I do. But think about what you’re asking, man. I can’t let you vivisect me, for fudge’s sake.”

    ----------

    Or, Rocky is interested in learning about the inner workings of the human body, and Grace lets himself be his lab experiment. To no one's surprise, this deeply intimate interaction takes a turn.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    ***

    “What? You’re not wanting to actually do this soap opera appearance, are you?” Rocky asked.

    Grace’s ears pulsed with blood flow and he gave a twitch of a shrug.

    “I mean…kinda?” he said. “I love As Erid Turns.”

    Rocky turned to Adrian.

    “Well?”

    “Well, what? I think he should do it,” Adrian said placidly.

    “Adrian! Grace is not some—cheap floozy of an entertainer! He’s a respected interstellar scientist!”

    ***

    OR: Dr. Ryland Grace, unlikely Eridian soap opera star.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
