Species swap Rocky and Grace where Eridian!Grace doesn't really get Rocky's nickname
Rocky: It's like, a rock, but just worded cutely. Grace: How do you word a word "cutely," question? Rocky: Hmmm, well, it's supposed to be endearing. Kinda used to describe small things. Like something you'd call kid. I mean, uh, an Eridian child. Grace: Ah, understand. Name would be 🎶
When they get to Erid/A convo later down the line
Rocky: Aww, pebbles are so cute Grace. You didn't tell me they'd be so cute. Grace: New word, statement. Rocky: Oh, it's just the human word for a small rock. They're small, like a pebble and so, pebbles. Grace: Understood. Word for Eridian child is 🎶 sometimes called "Rocky." Rocky: ...Grace that's what you use for my name. Grace: Correct... Is Rocky okay, question? You are making face. Rocky: You've been calling me a child in Eridian this entire time?!? Grace: That is how Rocky describe name. Rocky also remind Grace of students... Grace ask again. Is Rocky okay, question?
They make Rocky's name more unique shortly after, but it still noticeably similar to the Eridian word for pebble. If they do stay on Erid, Rocky becomes a sort of teacher assistant to Grace and their students will never let the poor leaky human live that fact down
