Summary
"They, uh, did a good job on you. Your chest looks good," says Martin, in what he can only hope is a casual tone.
"Thanks. Yours too," Jon replies automatically. A beat passes, and then Jon's eyes go wide with horror while Martin stands and splutters with some unnameable emotion. "Oh, good lord, I didn't mean-"
"No, no, no, it's okay," says Martin, once he's peeled his eyebrows back off the ceiling. "You're good. I, I actually appreciate it?"

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.”

“Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”
Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

Summary
It had only been a few days since first settling into his biodome that Grace finally had the energy and Adrian finally had the time for them to meet.
Grace knew it was gonna happen sooner or later, ever since Rocky first brought up the aspect of them meeting early on into his recovery. Adrian had wanted to meet Grace for some time, especially after they had, apparently, accompanied Rocky multiple times to help watch Grace when he was horribly sick from malnutrition. And now, with Grace more or less steady on his feet and Adrian done with most of their major work on the biodome, they could finally meet face to… rock face.
And, boy, did Grace wish he still had some vodka left.
Or: Grace is nervous about finally meeting Adrian. However, he quickly learns that he has nothing to worry about.
