Summary
"You can literally hear inside me when you focus, bud. Has observing the action of my gallbladder in HD made you think less of me as a person, or humanity as a whole?"
[Yes,] Rocky says without hesitation, which makes Grace choke on a laugh. He amends, […at first. Then I get used to. Kind of cute now. Humans need infinity liquids to do basic process, always new mucus…]
"I bet I'm gonna find your ultra-high-temp organs super cute too," Grace offers with an irrepressible grin, "and actually, okay, this strikes me as a morale problem. You're getting too down on yourself. I promise you there is nothing I could find rearranging your—" Nope. "—digging around in there that would shame the entire Eridian race."
[No way for you to know this,] Rocky says flatly.
"There definitely is, because I'm gonna shame the entire human race first."
This is how they spend the next three days on the glove box addition while Mary reads to them from the unreleased 2021 NEISS report, filtered by incidents requiring extraction of foreign objects from the 'lower trunk' or 'pubic region'.
(or, Rocky eats something inedible. Grace helps. They both get Really Weird About It.)

Summary
“Mr. Grace, do you have a girlfriend?” Aria called out, which resulted in a cascade of laughter and jeering. Grace, despite four years of practice, was blindsided by this blow and floundered to come up with a rejoinder.
“Uh,” He gurgled into the microphone, an idiot wearing three pairs of glasses, “No, I do not.”
Or: Middle School Science Teacher Ryland Grace accidentally falls in love.

Summary
"Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.
"Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."
"Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"
(In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

Summary
[What does hand flex mean, question?] Rocky asks from where we're huddled together on the floor, watching the 2005 adaption of Pride & Prejudice.
"It's uh—" I hit pause, search for the right word. "Have we had yearning in the vocab yet?"

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
