    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    Rocky suggests a learning experience, and ends up learning a few things about himself that he's not quite ready to know.

     

    “I could leave the room and observe from out there,” I say.

    “No,” Grace insists. “Go to other end of ship. Go back to sleep. Go unconscious.”

    “I want to observe,” I say. “You’re enjoyable to watch. I want to know. I want to perceive everything about you.”

    Grace… doesn’t say anything in response to that. His mouthparts move soundlessly, and his tongue flickers out to moisten his lip.
