    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    The awareness of time is a delicate thing.

    It is slipping rapidly from Grace's fingers. Grace, who is starving to death, who is still recovering from the most precise amnesia Earth could give him, who turned around and left Earth in the hands of the Beetles save his one dearest companion even though it would kill him, is still a scientist at heart. Scientists solve problems. He finds ways to keep track.

    Rocky wouldn't approve, but what Rocky doesn't know won't hurt him.

    Summary

    When Rocky's mating cycle starts and doesn't stop, he has no one to turn to but Grace.

    His cycle never would have started in the first place if Grace wasn't so very.. wet..

    But it's never just about the mating, is it?

    Summary

    This is funny, from Tom’s perspective. No, really, it is. He's spent the last decade (and then some) having weekly meetings with these two idiots and he seems to have a better grasp on their own situation than they do.

    Case in point–

    “Sam's a pretty touchy guy, you know,” says Luke.

    Tom wants to roll his eyes all the way back into his skull.

    Sam and Luke have been running in circles around each other for far longer than is understandable (or tolerable). Tom is affectionately irritated.
