    Summary

    One day, your dearest friend in the universe asks you what your name is.

    You say, what, and do not tap a question. (This is one of many weird linguistic quirks you've picked up recently. It's one of your favourites. It's a funny way to be flat and vaguely judgemental, to imply nonplussed bafflement.)

    ~~

    We all know how it is; you save each other's lives, you save each other's worlds, you undertake an interstellar journey with only each other for company, and then eventually you realise that you have no idea what the other person's name actually is.

    Tom’s very lucky he happens to be on his lunch break. Ryland calls him. “H—”

    “Babe!” Tom sounds overly-cheerful. “I was wondering when you’d find the time to call me!"

     

    Or: Ryland Grace and Tom Ryder become friends. Just friends. No, seriously.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
