Harder to hide when he had a face that did all the scrunched up things. Grace was on his feet, closing the gap and wrapping his arms around his friend. (And maybe there was a tiny moment of feeling just a little smug about being slightly larger) “You’re not fine. And you shouldn’t be fine.” -

That made him sit back, glancing away as Rocky swallowed, not drawing any more attention to it that necessary. “I’d be devastated.” He finally said. Maybe it would give the okay to admit to feeling some sort of way about it. “I’d probably need a hug at the least.”

“Radiation.” He murmured. That had been on his mind, too. Somewhere deep and lurking. Probably meant that Rocky has no good worker cells to pass on to the eggs he produced. But there was no need to say that out loud. “And you? Spending time as a human to disassociate?”

“…fuck. I mean, I’m sorry, buddy.” Yes, that deserved a proper swear word, not a heck or a damn. Grace sighed, trying to find the right words to say, and trying to hold back the questions of how often that sort of thing happened. “How’s Adrien taking it? And you.”

He’s up and fetching two beers. He’ll drink them both if need be. It’s a good night for them. First he hands one to Rocky, then taps his own bottle against his. “And that’s to your health.” “How’re those eggs coming on? I didn’t forget.”

“Squishy space blob.” Ryland cracked a grin, eyes crinkling up in amusement. “Partially blind squishy space blob.” There was a moment, the staring was noted, but Grace’s attention went to the little kitchen set up he had. “This is where I’d offer you a beer.” -

“How do you even know if they’re your prescription? The correct lenses for you?” To be fair, Grace would be freaking out right, but he’d reached maximum freak outage. “So how’d you manage the whole… waste extraction thing?”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 13h
“Hey buddy, we can see ink on paper, it’s but that stupid.” Sheesh! He clocks his tongue. Then drops into a chair. “Did Adrien freak out?”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 13h
Let’s not even bring that up right now. He needs time to digest the news. “They suit you! Now you know how o feel! Now you know why I gotta keep pulling them off and on again.” “Do you think Jude could make me an Eridian?” For reasons.

“I just need a little time to get my head wrapped around all of this!” “I don’t see the future, you know.”

Neither can Grace! It’s confusing and terrifying and he doesn’t even have a job to pay child support! “I noticed!” Sort of “I don’t know, Rocky, that doesn’t explain how you’re able do a thumbs up, upwards!”

“There’s been a lot to take in recently!” “And you wonder why I need vodka.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 14h
“I think it was before that, actually.” He wasn’t sure. He hadn’t been sleeping properly for a while. Now Grace rubs his face, lifts his shoulders until they crack, and then- THEN! “What the.. Rocky! You’re… missing a limb!”

“No, I didn’t! Until recently I thought she was just a dream lady. A very pleasant dream lady who was trying to tell me about fourth dimensional physics and how your space portals work.” “And then.. stuff happened. And she was real and stuff that happens in weird dream places is also … real.”

It's cool, nobody liked physical touch, sometimes not even when they knew the person. Besides, the last time another human touch him, he was drugged and forced into a coma and put on a space ship. "Yeah, that's me, Rocky's friend." Kinda saved the world(s), but who's boasting? -

No more bullying?! Does this include his new kitten’s?

Hopefully he won’t get the runs later. He’d hate to imagine what that would look like with a super dog. “Good boy.” Awkward head pats.

Grace laughed lightly, pulling the kittens over to give Adrien a bit of room to relax. “They’ll learn to keep out from under your limbs, don’t worry. They’re learning. Like pebbles. Rocky told me that they’re delicate when they first hatch.”

“He just has a lot of pointers for where I could improve.” Even though Grace had been told that he was a good singer. “I’m Grace. Ryland Grace. Most folk call me Grace.”

Don’t scream Don’t scream He yelps instead Can’t help it “Rocky? Doctor? Is this because I was hallucinating? That was one time!” Was he now hallucinating a Doctor?

Offers cat treats. It’s all he’s got. (Because nobody is eating a me-burger but him)

“That one is Hera, she’s a tortoiseshell. That’s brown with fawn and black through it.” And a little crown charm on her collar. Grace moved closer, reaching to scoop the kitten up. Hera saw no difference between Rocky -who’d let her climb all over him - and Adrien, who was less inclined. -

The voice had been altered for Adrien, but even before that, the tones were different. It was a pleasure to hear so much of them. “Yeah, yeah. They’re cats. Felis catus, small meat-eating mammals. Everyone says they domesticated themselves, they were never domesticated by humans.” -

“He needs a day off. He’s been pushing himself too hard.” Which made him feel bad since all the pushing was to do things for the benefit of him. Grace closed the door behind the taller Eridian and motioned for them to come through to the larger sitting area. Where they didn’t have to crouch. -

Leaky space blob AND kittens? If he’s feeling any surprise over seeing Adrien rather than Rocky, he does well in hiding it. A grin on his face as he steps aside in the universal invitation to come in. “Hey, Adrien, come in. How are you?”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Of course Rocky had friends, he was a very likeable rock. Grace had two kittens in his lap, and the other two were exploring the room. “They’re adorable. Very noisy! Especially when they’re hungry.. you did get food, right? I don’t wanna feed them me-burgers.”

Hands out for the sniffing, he wished he had his cat eye t-shirt on. For the occasion. And wonders if Armando can be programmed to perform neutering. “Where did you find them?” They looked too clean to have been on the street. And too soft when he got to pet the grey one.

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Five? “Fi— FIVE?!” That was a LOT of kittens! He was overjoyed. “Black and ginger and grey and tortoiseshell - that one’s a girl for sure. - and look at you, a fancy tuxedo cat all dressed up.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
But now with the door open, the kitten (that he absolutely hasn’t figured out is inside the box) might escape! Grace takes the box deeper into the house, near the back and drops onto the floor, box between his legs so he can open it. And although he tries to hold it back, there’s a wee squeal. -

“Oh ho, now that Adrien is here…” Grinning. Clapping his hands. Sliding up to @adrienoferid.bsky.social “Adrien! Rocky has been bullying me. Just so you know.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Box. With holes. And something…moving around inside? Grace felt excitement bubble up, holding the box close to his chest as a way to maybe listen for any hints of what might be inside. He almost shifted foot to foot, imitating the Eridian body language for excitement. -

Yeah, cat tree. His eyes are swivelling between Rocky, the cat tree and the door. The prospect of hard work. But his curiousity outweighs any hint of laziness and he’s out the door, running down to the beach
