    Summary

    While researching human needs Rocky learns about touch starvation and the importance of touching for humans. Worried for Grace's well-being, Rocky plans several different ways to provide Grace with the touching intimacy he needs to be healthy. Rocky expects to be praised for his initiative and ingenuity, but instead Grace's reaction is…concerning.


    I realize that as I’ve been trying to imagine a nice, pleasant hug, I’ve actually stressed myself out a little. I can’t help but frown and slightly grimace at the thought. This can’t be normal. Humans enjoy touching! Imagining a hug should be comforting. It should reduce stress.

    or "Statistical Fallacy (N=1)
    or "Mimicking you Mimicking Me"
    or "oopsie doopsie absolutely nobody here is a trained diplomat lol"

    or the Erid homecoming keeps having more issues arise. Human and Eridian relations are off to a, pardon the pun, rocky start. And Grace doesn't know why, but he is a little paranoid that Rocky somehow did it on purpose.

    Hopefully Earth gets his updated information on communicating with Eridians before they decide to send someone else. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty embarrassing for everyone.

    Summary

    "Social conditioning, Rocky had realized with awe. (Or maybe brain damage. Or maybe some kind of sexual deviancy. Rocky would need to prod further about that.) Such utterly different ways to Eridians. How about that.
    And wretched lonely perverted strange Rocky, who had seen all of its crewmates die and had no ways to solve the problem alone, decided that it had been far enough away from Erid and other Eridians long enough. What’s another social construct broken? "

    Just because the interactions between species are understandable doesn't mean everything under the hood, so to speak, lines up one-to-one.

    Rocky learns about human society. And it would just like to know: what the actual fuck???

    Summary

    Teacher Grace cried some more. Engineer Music-Suggesting-Foundations-of-Home was quite used to it doing this, and waited patiently for it to stop.

    “It is Earth culture,” it confessed, even damper than before. “Males are not permitted to remove their own sperms. Only female humans may do that, and only to the males they own. I have never belonged to a female, so it is always painful for me.” Fluids gushed from its nose and mouth in a pitiful fashion.

    ____
    Someone tries to copyright a trope found in RPF about Grace. Meanwhile, Erid is sending a cultural exchange vessel to Earth.
