Summary
The inherent eroticism of being perceived with curiosity and without judgment. Or, what if you were on your way to Tau Ceti e to save the world, and your alien best friend watched you get off for science, and then you learned some interesting xenoanthropological facts about Eridian mating customs? Well, it happened to my buddy Ryland Grace.
"You can see?" I whisper.
"I hear." Rocky matches my quiet tone. "I hear everything."
And that's interesting, because those words fuse white-hot with my pulse, and earth themselves with a thump between my legs, and all of a sudden I'm not soft anymore.
Okay. Yeah. We're way past being shy.

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
“What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.
“Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”
Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.
“Yeah,” Grace breathes.
~~~
On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

Summary
Rocky is eager to help his human friend adjust to his new life on Erid. Grace says he wants to stay, that he doesn’t miss Earth, but he’s showing signs of emotional distress. Humans are social and tactile creatures, after all.

Summary
Grace had learned a long time ago there was a difference between giving up and giving in.
Grace had once been told he was promising. Then he was told he was a joke.
There was a certain torture in being told you’re gifted and could sit at the table with the best of the best, only to pull up a chair and be informed you’re the dumbest person in attendance. The fall from the tentative top was long and far.In which I explore Dr. Ryland Grace and the many ways he's; brilliant, larger than life, but ultimately human.
