Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.

Summary
"Hey," I say around the peg in my mouth.
I don't have a laundry bag, so I've improvised by using a storage bag I've cleared the supplies out of.
Rocky doesn't respond to me, he just kind of hovers. He does that sometimes, needing to be in the same room as me. I can't blame him. Honestly, I’m deeply glad he's the one who follows me around, so I don't need to start doing it myself.
"Grace never married?"
I accidentally bite down on the peg a bit too hard.
