    Summary

    Once, his heart would have fluttered with fear as the sound of his outside environment faded, as the thrum and press of Erid and her song came down around him. He would have stumbled, tripped, grown tired from focusing his eyes.

    Grace knows the path now. He is not afraid.

    --

    Grace becomes a Saint on Erid.

    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    (Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )

    Summary

    There is not enough coma slurry onboard to feed Grace once he makes it to Rocky's home planet, and Erid's scientists will only be able to invent human-safe vitamins so fast. But Rocky has been doing Capital R Research on his portable earth thinking machine. Extra calories can be stored as energy in the form of fat cells in humans, and Rocky has tons upon tons of extra calories in his fuel tanks. While it won't do much for the nutrient deficiencies, why not overconsume on purpose to store energy for later?

    His human friend is hesitant to agree, but the logic is sound. Gaining some extra weight now isn't going to hurt once the starvation eventually starts.

    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.
