Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
The day every American teacher dreads comes for Ryland Grace. Marissa is his best friend, of course she's going to take care of him. Unfortunately for both her and Eva Stratt, that means she's there when he's 'recruited' into the Petrova taskforce. Ryland Grace, who is worried about the mental wellbeing of his students and who reacts to medical care about as well as a feral cat being trapped for a visit to the vet, has his own issues, but at least there's a cool lab in it for him. Carl is just along for the ride (and his share of Dr. Grace's skittles).
