    Summary

    Ryland Grace kept his joint pain a secret for more than a decade from almost everyone. But his jaw is out of place now, and he's hurtling towards a planet with twice the gravity he's used to, and trouble is on it's way.

    “Rocky, you know I wear special clothes sometimes.”
    “Yes, culture.”
    “They’re not cultural. I have something wrong with my joints. So I hurt all of the time, and sometimes my joints pop out of place.”
    Rocky’s full attention was on me, his hands even still for once. “When Grace wear special clothes, you hurt. You hurt today. But you no hurt for reason.”

    Book and film canon variable, leaning more to book canon but sharing both based on what I felt like. Spoilers for everything.

    Two.

    Not one.

    Two.

    Because there was a small baby Eridian on top of Adrian’s head.

    “Oh, my word!” Grace exclaimed, hands on his face. Grace hovered closer to the xenonite barrier between him and Adrian, trying to get as close as possible. Adrian clicked happily and leaned closer as well. “A baby! That’s a baby!”

    ---------------------------
    OR:

    Grace meets his new baby Eridian family member and becomes an uncle.

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.
