Summary
“Where is Teacher Grace’s family crest?” Quinn asks, jumping up and down like a bouncy ball, almost bowling Roo over who shrieks in outrage. Too much energy, that one.
“Uh.” Before I can explain that humans don’t really have anything like that (at least nothing that gets carved into their skin) Sam taps against the barrier.
“Right there, stupid. On Teacher Grace’s arm-limb.”
I look down to see what they are pointing at.
It’s Rocky’s clawprint. The one he left behind when he pulled me to safety after the Adrian fiasco.
*********************
The pebbles are too invested in their teacher’s personal life and Grace finally realizes that he’s part of a family. He has a lot of feelings about that.

Summary
All of a sudden Len stops chirping and holds up a claw instead. It is something Teacher Grace does all the time during lessons to get their attention and the group instinctively falls silent at the sign.
It’s only then that they notice it.
The silence.
Teacher Grace hasn’t moved at all.
***********
Sam breaks a rule, Quinn is insufferable, Len is the voice of reason and Tori is just along for the ride.

Summary
That is how it starts.
My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.
But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes?
That means war.
**************
A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

Summary
Afterwards Rocky reassured me that it is pretty common for pebbles to earn their first nicks and cracks at that age. Their outer shell isn’t fully developed yet and not quite as hard as that of an adult. He proudly showed me various indents and hairline fractures on his own body, telling me about how he got them in his youth during adventures with his friends or just messing around.
It’s a sign of growth, he told me. A sign of getting older and maturing.
Not a big deal. Happens all the time.
I believe him. Tori was in good spirits afterwards. Their crying was more because of the shock and the scare, not any actual pain. We finished the rest of the day without any further incidents and then I wished them all a happy holiday and returned to my home and got into bed.
Where I stayed for the next eighteen hours.
*************
There is an accident in the classroom. Everyone tells Grace that it's not a big deal.
But then why can't he stop thinking about it?Series

Summary
“They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”
Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch.
“Rock?”
But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.
**********
Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

Summary
One of Mensah's children wants to read aloud to SecUnit from a chapter book. What's the worst that could happen? (It gets so spooked by a stupid old piece of children's media hitting too close to home that it has to run off and have an emotional collapse about it, that's the worst that could happen.)
