    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    On the way back to the Blip A following their misadventures over Adrian, Rocky and Grace are recovering from their injuries, exhausted and traumatised, when a misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.

    Chapter 2, Grace's pov.

    “ - Grace liar,” Rocky snapped, deliberately moving as far from the barrier as he could and hunkering down in the corner, tremors continuing to run through him.
    His hand was still on the xenonite. It was shaking. “Rocky - “
    “ - leave me alone! Demand.”
    His teeth sank deep into the side of his mouth until he could taste blood. “I'll leave you alone if you can tell me you're safe right now.”
    Rocky's carapace jerked up towards him and he spoke in a low monotone. “What Grace going to do if not safe, question? Don't have anymore scabs to blow off.”
    Oh, that was...getting hit with superheated ammonia had hurt less. Didn't matter. “Are you safe?”
    “Yes. Go.”

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.
