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
“What is a ‘field trip’?”
The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time.
Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years.
And maybe he’s not wrong.
Don’t ever tell him I said that.
********
There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

Rocky make Grace feel good, statement by lonelyeridianfreak

Summary
{Also can better see Grace. Study Grace. Understand what Grace fifth limb is.}
“Woah,” I laughed, “I appreciate it, but that’s… for mating and waste.”
{I know. Leaky human has many holes to leak from. Never see this one. Has TWO fluids. Interesting. Rocky will study. Answer questions that Grace won’t answer because blood goes to fifth limb and away from stupid squishy human brain. Like now.}
That jerk was right. I could feel two things at once. Rocky, above me, VERY deliberately pressing his carapace even closer into my body. And the soft, throbbing sensation between my legs, pressing at the fabric of my sweatpants.
Ohhhh fudge.
*******
Rocky and Grace explore each other on their way to Erid with the help of some hot new xenonite technology!
