Summary
Grace vents again, slow and deliberate, and it nods its head. Its mouth is pressed into a taut line as it removes its hands from protecting its appendage, slowly lowering itself back down until it is laying on the nest. I can hear a shaking in the muscles of its nimble-claws and lower arms. Grace has no reason to be embarrassed, procreation-like activities are a normal part of the human life cycle. I will make Grace healthy. And if the Portable Thinking Machine is anything to go by (it is), I will make Grace feel good too. Grace deserves that. Grace deserves to be healthy and feel good and be taken care of and I will give it all of that.
Or: Grace wakes up with a boner, and Rocky's laptop has taught him that masturbation is good for humans. He doesn't stop to consider whether Grace really wants help.
