i just know grace and rocky are going to be linguistically unsalvageable after so long alone together in such a high stress environment.
the mixing of eridian and human languages (and not just english! even english speakers use phrases from other languages! youre telling me grace isnt c'est la vie-ing this entire goddamn trip?) and idioms and body language and various non-word sounds is going to be a sonic nightmare for humans and eridians alike.
in the short window of the story they've already morphed several, now multiply that across the entire trip!
i keep thinking about rocky picking up gesticulation from grace, but on erid it's the equivalent of a human talking with a hand in front of their mouth.
and i shudder to imagine all the scientific short hands they come up with to speed up research! hey rocky thanks for solving the astrophage problem too bad no one knows what the fuck you're trying to explain to us!
manners! social customs! they're fucked!
their shitty little culture of two
