Can we talk about the fact Rocky literally made Grace a crib to sleep in so Rocky could watch him as closely as possible. I don’t care what anyone says this is a CRIB, it’s like one of those floor crib with the lower guard rails and adult sized beds for toddlers so their parents can nap with them. Applying the head cannon that Rocky views Grace as a baby makes this whole scene more funny because of course Rocky would panic when his new toddler human crew mate says he’s going to go sleep on a ship alone in a atmosphere Rocky can’t get to if there’s danger. This toddler who acts stupid when he’s tired and barely even keep himself from bumping into a scale model every two seconds is now trying to sleep BY HIMSELF! Who knows if there is danger on the Hail Mary!? What if he wakes up from a nightmare!? When pebbles have nightmares they need the reassurance of their parents/guardians and Rocky couldn’t get to him on the ship before his Xeonite ball was constructed. So what’s the solution? Well obviously it’s to guilt trip the toddler into sleeping in the tunnel and while Grace gathers his sleeping cushions Rocky will construct a bed-like structure for the toddler to feel comfortable and safe while Rocky watches him sleep and if this structure just happens to resemble a Eridian style pebble nest…well Grace won’t know either way.
That is until they get to Erid and Grace off handedly mentions the cultural differences of human and Eridian sleep cycles and how Rocky essentially made him sleep in the tunnel connecting their ships in this little Xeonite bed Rocky made for him to fit into and the other Eridians look at Rocky like;
Eridians scientist: You made him sleep in nest, question?
Eridians scientist: He is savior of Erid and you made him sleep in nest like pebble?
Rocky: Yes, because he is pebble.
Eridians scientist: He is pebble, question?
Rocky: He is BIG pebble, statement. Only in his thirties and stupid when he does not have sleep, trips on things, gets cranky, makes work take longer. So Rocky make nest for pebble….was necessary to save stars.
Eridians scientist: Yes, yes, agree.
Meanwhile Grace is off to the side just nodding along not having understood a word of what they were saying because most of the words they’re using aren’t marked in his translators yet. (I also like to think that MAKING the nest is something only a parent or family member does for a pebble, so Rocky making him a nest is the Eridian equivalent of him signing adoption papers and no one questions it.)
