Unkown blood Simon giving grace the nickname "rye"
Both because he makes a point to call grace by his first name (names are very important to simon ofc) and also because grace is the msot important person in his life, his savior, his lover, his angel, grace is sacred to him
And what is the msot important and sacred thing in this aus version of eden? Food. Grace's name also is literally land of rye, wich is a type of name you'd never give a person cuz it's jsut too sacred :)
(Simon actually has a very funny reaction to finding out about grace's full name and literally asks if he's sure he's not an angel lmao)
Simon never tells grace the sheer significance of the nickname, but he knows it. He knows he basically gave that man a name that would be given only the most important of people back in his world
To name someone after food is major
To name someone after the foundation of food (grain) is unheard of
Tldr in this au grace has a name that would be given to like a deity or smth and Simon makes a quietly even bigger deal about it by giving him a sacred-level nickname lmao
Here have some more dialog from "red tainted gold"
"Word" and "food" will be coming out soon, I'm yet to decide what order they happen in, but with Simon's dialog style id say "word" happens first :p
I'm tagging this with allium cuz these things come from me ranting in her dms
