    Summary

    “Fine, fine.” He flings himself dramatically onto his chair. “He insulted a woman with very bad and vulgar language.”

    “Yes, I gathered that. What did he say?” Her eyes bore into him. He feels a shiver go down his spine.

    “Eva, please.” He keeps his eyes trained on her desk. He doesn’t want to do this. It made his ears bleed when he first heard the words, he doesn’t want to repeat them. But! He can paraphrase.

    Summary

    There I’d been, pedaling down the last few poorly-lit streets before my complex, when something had tangled in my front wheels (odd. I swore the street had been clear) and I went flying.
    Head.
    Concrete.
    Ow.
    ~~~
    Grace gets mugged. Eva Stratt has a "hands off" policy about her personnel, as in "Keep your hands off her scientist or you'll regret it"

    Summary

    Grace pushes himself back from the micro-scope, a movement he has done many many times before without any problems. This time, though, his clumsiness makes him fall back.

    Generally, Grace is okay at catching himself. Most of the time he tries to pretend he didn’t trip, or simply yells “I’m fine!” after he straightens up.

    Grace doesn’t catch himself. He falls, and his body hits the ground, and Rocky hears horrible, terrible snaps.

    Grace’s body is not supposed to make those noises. They are breaking noises.

    OR:

    On the way to Erid, Grace takes a tumble and breaks something. Rocky has a bad time.
