    "And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird." - The 12th Doctor, Doctor Who

    All For One acquires an immortality quirk, and there are consequences for that.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    "Hold on, what about Dr. Pepper?" Grace said, refusing to follow with his feet planted, one last excuse why he wouldn't join her to save the world.

    Eva paused. She considered. If that was the only stipulation, she could work with that. "I can get you whatever beverage you like, Dr. Grace."

    Grace grinned for a moment, like he was enjoying a personal joke, then said, "My dog. Dr. Pepper is my dog."

     

    or: you don't even have a dog
