    Summary

    “No, human holiday. Dear beloved sweet mate told pebbles story about Earth holiday in morning because is day of holiday. Pebbles decide to do holiday. No warning, did not know until home arrival,” Adrian said, sounding an ounce frazzled. Which wasn’t common for her. And she was using sarcasm. “Rocky did not say no. Rocky…” They made a series of somewhat affectionate and somewhat exasperated chords. “With pebbles when doing fun learning.”

    Maybe the word she was looking for was indulgent? Or he was a pushover when it came to the kids and 'fun learning'.

    -------

    In which Grace doesn't realize it's October 31st and that matters because Rocky told the pebbles about Halloween. And now they want to go trick-or-treating at their big squishy alien uncle's house. Adrian to the rescue.

    Summary

    "I-" his words turn into a jumbled mess and I feel my claws clench. It's more than a little frustrating the way Grace keeps using new vocabulary without offering a translation for it. It probably has to do with grammar structure, but we've barely established +λ++ words.

    He can handle some grammatical sacrifices for the sake of ease, can't he? I definitely have.

    Grace presses one of his dull claws to his carapace. "-sleep now. I come back in +∀ +λ++ seconds."

    He takes another (clumsy) step backward and this time I do push my carapace into the barrier. He can't leave, the tunnel is too long for me to hear him whenever he's back on his spaceship. He's going to vanish and take that steady percussion beat within his chest with him. What if something happens to him while he's on his ship and he never returns? I need need need him.

    Erid needs needs needs him.

    "I observe."

    Grace is so caught up with making himself look trustworthy that he forgets aliens might be able to lie just as well as he can.

    OR

    Rocky lies about Eridian culture. What's Grace gonna do? Call an alien a liar?
