    Summary

    “Grace can feel song, question?” Rocky asked, slower than usual. The cooing had lulled him, too.

    I… Maybe? Yeah,” Grace whispered, and Rocky had to focus to understand the slurring.

    “Humans can feel sound, question?”

    Grace huffed a small laugh. “Sometimes, yeah. For example, when the sound is… very low and loud, we can feel it in our chests.

    “Song is neither low nor loud.” That would have an entirely different effect.

    I know. I can still feel it, I think. It’s strange.

    “Good strange, question?”

    Good strange, yeah.

    Grace could feel sound. Grace could feel Rocky’s songs.

    Hmm.

    Rocky discovers nature's laws aren't as inflexible as they'd thought. He puts this to good use.

    Summary

    “How long do humans live for, question. Rocky want to know.”

    Rocky stamps his claw impatiently on the flat surface of his xenonite ball as he asks, a skittery, jittery movement that rattles in Ryland’s ears.

    He sighs. Rubs at his temples. Thinks about how to answer this as diplomatically as physically possible, as at ease as physically possible.

    It’s not that he cares much about the fact he’ll be dead long long before Rocky. He doesn’t care about that. He’s probably going to die a whole lot sooner than your average human, anyway, considering his diet of coma-slurry and Taumoeba and little else. Besides, he’s been in space for longer than anybody has been in the history of ever. That’s sure to do messed-up things to his bones and joints and mass and everything. But it doesn’t matter. He’s made peace with that. For-real made peace, because any time more is a thousand times over what he thought he’d get.

    What does matter is that Rocky has no idea that there’s probably only about fifty years left in his tank.

    ***

    Or: the average male human lifespan is 80 years. Rocky doesn't know that.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”
