    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    Summary

    Nothing destroys proper negotiations like a language barrier, even more so when you're relying on magical translation arrays. Add in the high stakes of a magically binding contract, the cursed Fenton Luck, and a self-sacrificing man who didn't have the good sense to wait before he fell on his own batarang? You had the combination for a wonderfully disastrous misunderstanding.

    His mentor’s tone was filled with shocked awe as he stated, “You just proposed marriage to the most emotionally repressed member of the Justice League.”

    “What?! That’s not what I said!”

    “How,” Clockwork asked, “did you even manage that?”

    “I don’t know!” Danny tossed his arms sharply into the air in exasperation as he explained, “I just asked for his name!"

    "You asked for more than that."

    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    Living on a spaceship with an alien that exclusively speaks in song can really recontextualize karaoke for a guy.
