Summary
“They like you. Have a crush on you. Whatever you want to call it,” she declares, and it feels like the floor’s dropped out from under me. “It’s normal, part of child development and all that. And let me tell you, it definitely happened in previous years. It seems like your students this year just happen to be especially bold.”
No, no, no! This can’t be happening to me.
-----Ryland notices that some of his students are behaving oddly around him. This pattern follows him onto Erid.

Summary
I wasn't really expecting it to come up at all, if I'm being honest, but you know what they say about assuming. After all the initial discussions and work to figure out what I could eat, what I needed to get via food, and how best to ensure adequate nutrition, I figured food wouldn't come up again. Like, ever. Eridians are super private about it, and it's a nutritional obligation to them, not a social norm like it is for humans. That was fine - they soundproofed my kitchen and dining room for an added layer of protection, once they realised how noisily humans eat. No harm, no foul.
I hadn't accounted for the anthropologists.
-
A brave group of Eridian scientists finally broach the taboo topic of food with Grace, and there's a whole lot of miscommunication, a few false allegations, and the unveiling of an unintentional slight Eridians have been committing against Grace since the beginning - with Rocky being the worst offender of them all.

Summary
He’s fine, he’s slept alone before, he can sleep alone again. He doesn’t need someone watching him, he’s not a baby, crying in the dark for a… what’s the word…. nightlight! Adults don’t babble for their parents after a nightmare. His skin doesn’t crawl, there’s no sense of impending doom, there’s no danger crawling up from the shadows, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with Rocky- he’s in the next room over, the same place he’s been for the last few days, working on his project alone, just like he wanted-
Grace is tired. He’s so, so tired.
Or: Grace and Rocky have an argument that results in them avoiding each other, which leads Grace to realise he's become more reliant on Eridian customs then he first thought.

Summary
“Rocky?”
“Apology, apology. Grace smart smart adult scientist. But sleep noises remind Rocky of small Eridians. Word is for young Eridians, first hatched."
I pause rubbing the sleep out of my eye. Rocky just called me a baby. Or maybe hatchling would be the right translation?
