next limb to touch adrian's data will become new project.

adrian feeling better than ever after much needed sleep cycle.

adrian not stutter. also grace already agree.

dooooccctor! doing well, question?

obviously. and adrian will keep grace warm while telling stories of latest research done on earth flavors. come, adrian sit on grace now.

think grace needs to spend time with adrian now. adrian can be good for resting against.

"grace should always prioritize health over watching. adrian sleep for longer time now so might be too long for grace." once it had been five hours, then twelve, and now more than two days at a time. "are pebbles being good for grace, question?"

adrian said nothing wrong.

[carapace shaking with laughter ] adrian also misses grace!

"adrian has been resting. sleep cycle taking much longer now." they're thinking it may have something to do with their age. a little purr of contentment. "how have grace been? grace's heart sounding healthy still. good good good."

grace very bad liar!

humans eating humans considered cannibalism. eridians eating eridians considered. . .abrasion?

grace sounds as if grace missing adrian. [teasing!]

"grace. good afternoon." at least based on earth time, it would still be considered afternoon anyways. scuttles a little closer. "grace busy, question?"

can sense grace staring back. grace have question?

[slow turn to stare at the reader.]

stretches every limb out and (cracks) their joints.
