Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

Summary
Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.
Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.
“Grace. What are you doing?”
Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.
“‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

Summary
Ryland Grace — single-income, teacher’s salary — owns beachfront property.
He never, ever thought he’d see the day. His rent-controlled apartment in the Bay Area was older than him, split with two roommates, and still ate most of his monthly earnings. Thoughts of homeownership were infrequent, segregated to extended school breaks — enough days off his bike to send him exercise-endorphin-crashing down an internet rabbit hole.

The top answer, every time?
Get married. Double-income; split the mortgage. Sell your soul for a down payment.
Erid’s ammonia atmosphere is less suffocating.
Rocky makes music; Ryland finds a home. Other Eridians learn and teach in tandem. And they change, change, change.
