You know that period of development where toddlers know words but aren’t able to pronounce them correctly, so it still sounds like just noises to most people? That’s what Grace sounds like when he attempts to speak Eridian because humans don’t have a body that’s evolved to speak it correctly. Only Rocky and Adrian can understand him, like the toddler’s parents who are able to translate “ajsjdlasjsjhssajjsj-fish!” into “I want some goldfish!”.
They spend a lot of time translating Grace’s “nonsense” into understandable words for the other Eridians on the team in charge of his biodome. To those Eridians, Grace babbles like a pebble and then Rocky or Adrian pipes up with “Grace said it wants to know if we can add another tree to the enclosure.” and the others are half-convinced they are being pranked. Like, surely there is no way Rocky and Adrian understood THAT? But, the human nods along to their explanation happily, so that must be what it meant?
