    Summary

    "Oh, understand," Rocky says. There is a moment's pause, and then he asks, "Grace word mean movement smooth and beautiful. What mean ♬♪♩?"

    I type the last word in as 'Ryland', against my better judgement (I'm not looking forward to getting disappointedly full-named by Rocky's sardonic computer dictation).

    "It technically means 'land of rye', which is a kind of grass grain, but not all human names are actually words. Actually, now that I think about it, names like 'Grace' are a bit of an exception."

    Rocky considers this, claws tapping together the way they do when he's calculating something. I have just finished sealing away the remnants of Taumoeba Batch #72 when Rocky speaks up again.

    "What mean Rocky name, question?"

    I freeze. Crud.

    ━━━━━━━━

    It's a long way to Erid. Rocky has some name-related revelations, and Grace is going through it. It's technically his fault, but he'll complain about it all the same.

    Summary

    In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?

    I focus on Grace for a split moment.

    Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.

    Or so Rocky thought.

    (5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!

    This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

    Summary

    Grace thinks he is doing a pretty good job at appearing neurotypical on board the Hail Mary, but Rocky has access to his own laptop now, and he's been studying Grace more than he realises.

    Summary

    "Heck, if he wanted to do open heart surgery on me, I'd probably let him."

    Rocky has no choice but to do open heart surgery.

    "Rocky can replace valve. Rocky cannot replace Grace."
