    Summary

    I never got the sense that anybody heard me speak.

    - - -

    After a few hours on his portable earth thinking machine, Rocky eventually closed the lid and sat there above Grace, just watching.

    He watched his lungs pull in shallow breaths of oxygen.

    He watched his weakening heart pump blood through his veins.

    He watched his empty stomach and intestines atrophy.

    He watched every lingering sign of life, just like he's watched them slowly leave his mate little by little, every night for the last four earth years.

    That night, Rocky came to the conclusion that he didn't believe in any sort of ‘God’ either.

    - - -

    Rocky tasks himself with writing Grace's eulogy.

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky, doing it like they do on the discovery channel.

    (ft. Rocky being evasive about his feelings, Grace's demisexual alienfucker sexuality crisis, and also a couple of meandering flashback journeys through Grace's less-than-impressive dating history.)
