    Summary

    “Hi!” I begin, looking at myself in the mirror. “I’m Grace—Ryland Grace—Ugh, wow. Who are you, James Bond? Okay, start over… I’m Grace. It’s so great to finally meet you! Rocky’s told me so much about you. Like, how you’re Rocky’s mate, and you’re… also made of rock— no. Okay.”
    I smack my cheeks a couple of times.
    “Come on. Shake it out.” 
    I make a brrrrrr noise with my lips for a few seconds then clear my throat. 
    “…”
    Come on, Ryland. 
    “…”
    Anything.
    “…”
    I swear to God, if you ask them if they like jazz.

    a.k.a. Grace is about to meet Adrian for the first time and is wondering why he can't just... be normal.

    Summary

    Ryland has a tattoo. So does Rocky. It's not the same thing, but it also really is.

    Summary

    "It comes naturally to you. In Eridanese, we are typically very literal. Figurative speech is reserved for art or profanity, so it doesn't come naturally to most of us."

    Huh. That's interesting. Rocky never had much trouble understanding me. Maybe he has a poetic soul. Or maybe he swears like a sailor. Probably the latter.
