    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Summary

    “…Did not think you’d notice.” He finally said, slumping a little. “Did not want you to notice-“

    “In what world would I have missed it, bud?” Grace huffed with an exasperated smile, nudging into Rocky’s side. “You’re the highlight of my day, y’know.”

    Rocky let out a happy chirp, seemingly involuntarily. He hunched in on himself after, as if embarrassed the sound had escaped him at all, and shuffled his legs a little in the sand.

    “As are you of mine.”

    or: rocky gets a new engraving, and grace is much more involved than he ever thought he could be

    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.
