Summary
He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.
It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.
But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.
He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.
Everything except him, it seems.
Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

Summary
As the years go by and summers cool and winters become harsher, the name Ryland Grace is lifted up in churches, mosques, shrines, temples, synagogues, and all kinds of congregations around the world, big or small. Prayers for safety, for wisdom, for good health. His likeness is depicted in all manner of iconography – graffiti, prayer cards, murals, statues – the evolution of a clever fox at his side spreading like wildfire, a token of cleverness and ingenuity. His name is in the lisping whisper of a young child saying prayers before bed and in the heart of those who never had much room for faith in anything else before.
Ryland Grace, they say. You have traveled so far, but you still have so long to go and so much to do. Protect us. Save us. May you find both wisdom and discernment. We have faith in you. Remember us. Save us.
Nearly twelve light years from Earth, Ryland Grace wakes up with a jolt on the Hail Mary to his own name echoing in his head.

Summary
“Can you talk?” Simon asks. “Or are you past that?”
In response, Grace licks his neck. Okay then. Definitely past the point of coherent verbal communication.
“Stop that,” Simon says mildly, shrugging his shoulder to jostle Grace, who grunts when Simon’s collarbone thuds into his nose and tightens his grip on Simon’s shirt in mute protest.

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"
