    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    "Bears! Listen up!" Marly called, forcing everyone to crane their necks awkwardly to look to him. Ilya's stomach roiled with apprehension, text thread to Jane still open. "I know we've all heard the rumours about Hollander," he started, looking amongst them all. His face was serious and staid. "Well, I got something to say on the matter."

    Ilya braced himself, knuckles white around the armrests. Marly had the ear of the locker room. When he spoke, everyone listened. He was everyone's favourite. It wouldn't take much for Marly to lead a riot against Shane, if he wanted.

    Marly took a deep breath, looking amongst them all, and then, said a single word.

    "Dibs."

    Cliff Marleau calls dibs on Shane Hollander.

    Ilya Rozanov loses his mind.
