    Summary

    "... What are you doing?" Rocky says in confusion. "Why are you standing in the middle of the living room looking like you're about to puke, question?"

    "Oh!" Grace says. "Shi - crap. Am I doing it wrong?"

    "Doing what wrong?"

    "The - necklace. Thing. Courting. Me?" Grace chokes out.

    Rocky stares.

    "You are trying to court an Eridian?" He says dumbly.

    ***

    It takes Rocky one year to realize how much he loves his human.

    It takes Grace four times as long to realize that that love is reciprocated.

    Gosh flipping darn it.

    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.

    Summary

    Grace learns from his students that the Eridians have been gossiping about him and Rocky. What spurred these rumors? An upcoming opera about them that's being marketed as a love story. Before they can make a public statement denouncing it, the director makes them an offer: a private showing before the public release.

    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.
