    Ryland Grace chose Erid. He chose Rocky. He chose to stay until he couldn't anymore.
    Rocky promised to keep watch.
    The universe, it turns out, was listening.

    or "Statistical Fallacy (N=1)
    or "Mimicking you Mimicking Me"
    or "oopsie doopsie absolutely nobody here is a trained diplomat lol"

    or the Erid homecoming keeps having more issues arise. Human and Eridian relations are off to a, pardon the pun, rocky start. And Grace doesn't know why, but he is a little paranoid that Rocky somehow did it on purpose.

    Hopefully Earth gets his updated information on communicating with Eridians before they decide to send someone else. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty embarrassing for everyone.

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”

    Summary

    “How much did you read?”

    “Lot,” Rocky says, and it sounds vaguely like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar. “Mary?”

    “Wait, you don’t need-” I try to interrupt him bringing the ship into this (she gets involved in our spars enough as is) but I’m too late.

    “Touch-starvation. Also referred to as touch-hunger. Side-effects include aggressive behaviours, impairment in speech or communication, lowered self-esteem, increasing anxiety, depression, and self-injurious activities-”

    “Okay!” I clap my hands, cutting her off. “Thank you, Mary, but that’s enough!”

    or: grace and rocky have some discussions about touch on the way to erid. it doesn’t go the way you’d expect
