Summary
"♩ ♩ ♬ ♩ ♪ ♫! [Mean very important! Not many!]"
Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"
"[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"
On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

Summary
“Grace consider dating on Erid question?” Rocky asks in a tone I can’t decipher.
“What’s with the sudden interest in this topic?” I reply in lieu of answering.
“Grace avoid question question?”
“I’m not avoiding anything, bud, I’m just wondering where all of this is coming from, that’s all.” And avoiding. Definitely avoiding.
or, alternatively: rocky confesses and grace freaks out.

Summary
“Rocky saw.”
His mind races. The what, the ship cams? Did they record Stratt’s men dumping him comatose and still and scared in the ship, did they talk about what they’d done to him? No, that would make sense. Besides, the Hail Mary was in orbit around Erid, not impossible to get to, but not worth it for a nose around. Or – maybe he’d said something in his sleep, and Rocky was only just talking to him about it. That also makes no sense. Or maybe –
“You… saw.”
“Eridians see dream-memories sometimes.”
“That literally makes no sense,” blurts Ryland, and Rocky stamps his feet. The way he’d done back on the ship when something was painfully obvious and Ryland failed to get it. “Sorry. You’re gonna have to explain.”
“Eridians are linked to all Eridians. Erid is like – word need word – database. Database for all Eridians thought memories events. When Eridians sleep, they see other Eridian memories. Didn’t happen on ship because no tie to Erid. Didn’t happen on Mary because no tie to Erid. Rocky saw Grace's memories.”
***
Or: Rocky finds out Grace was forced onto the Hail Mary without his consent, but not really in the way you'd expect.

Summary
Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.
Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.
“Grace. What are you doing?”
Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.
“‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”
