    Summary

    On the trip back to Erid Rocky is excited to spend quality time with their favorite human, but Grace is acting…strangely. They are unbearably quiet. The longer it goes on the more certain Rocky is that there is something very wrong.


    “I trust you with my sad experiences. I tell you about crew deaths and how it make me feel. Rocky trust Grace. Now Grace trust Rocky.”

    “What— what if I wasn’t a good person like you? What if I was actually a coward and a liar? Would you still trust me?”

    Summary

    Rocky emerges, and his body language alone is enough to get me going. I struggle around my laugh, clamping my hand over my mouth. He waits patiently for me to gather myself.

    “Eridians are gay,” he declares. “I escape closet for all of them.”

    I fail. I tuck my glasses into the collar of my shirt so I can put my head in my hands, wiping tears as they come.

    “Rocky,” I say between giggles, “Rocky, I don’t think—I don’t think you can apply human sexuality to Eridians.”

    Something in him shifts, then. He perks to attention from his relaxed state, and though he has no eyes or facial features, I swear I can feel his gaze narrow on me.

    “I also read about gay rights,” he says slowly, warily. “Read that gay humans are hated some places. Bad.” He comes closer, looking up at me with all the accusation his flat face can muster. “You hate gay, question?”

    /////

    Or: Rocky learns about another human custom, and as always, he makes it Grace's problem.
