    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    Or

    One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.
