Summary
"Grace clicks his tongue. 'You know, Simon, in my classroom I expect a certain amount of decorum. Students need to know how to control themselves, despite anything that might cause excitement or…distraction.'”
***
In which Simon kind of, sort of, really likes that Grace is a teacher.

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

"Humans put Eridians in game, question?"
"You mean, like a spider?" I ask. "Are you seeing a spider?"
"Not spider," Rocky says. "Four legs. Tall carapace."
"What color is it?"
"Middle-rough."
Middle-rough. That's Eridian for green.
"Strange sound," Rocky comments.
The creeper explodes.
Grace and Rocky play Minecraft. That's it that's the fic

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.”
