    Summary

    The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.

    But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

    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.
