    Summary

    “The ground is cursed,” Xiao Peng moans. He finishes another jar. “Even before the cultivators came, it wouldn’t grow. And then the blood…all the blood…”

    “What blood?” Wei Wuxian asks.

    “The cultivator war flooded the field with it,” Xiao Peng replies, strangely poetic. “My grandfather said so. He said, all the bodies got up and walked away, but they left the blood, and the blood stained the soil.”

     

    An inn, a ministry office, and a millet field.

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    After saving Grace and nearly dying in an alien atmosphere, Rocky lays an egg before going dormant.

    Turns out being isolated for years and then nearly dying will force biological imperatives onto injured Eridians, and this one leaves Ryland Grace utterly baffled.

    Aren't Eridians supposed to lay eggs in clutches? Only fused eggs are supposed to be viable, but when Grace accidentally touches the egg with his bare skin while trying to save it, that's apparently all the genetic fusion required for life to begin.

    Ryland Grace skips a few steps when it comes to making a baby, and I test the limits of Eridian biology.
