    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.”

    'Why born sick?'

    Parent touches the circle on their arm. They do that a lot when they're sad.

    'Parent and mate not supposed to have clutch. Tried many times, but cells didn't fix selves. Finally, Parent fix. Was enough for little while, but was not enough.'

    Summary

    Dozens of little legs raced across the sand, bolting past Rocky and heading straight for Grace, happy shrieking trills filling the air.

    “Welcome to Field Trip Day!” Grace cried, flinging out his arms.
