I see a lot of people talking about Eridians looking at Rocky the way we look at the people who go "nooooo it's fine! This character that looks like a child is actually 500 years old!!!" When it comes to Grace. But I have a suggestion. They just, lie. They know how old Eridians can get, when the prime age for Eridians is, so they figure out how old Grace would be mentally if he were Eridian. Eridians also don't have a frame of reference for what humans are supposed to look like, so they can't look at him and go "no he looks baby" until someone does a deep dive on human lifespans and development, and by then, Grace is already a respected hero, understanding the language much better, and healing very nicely, thank you! They can't call him a pebble, because by society's standards he's not, and by human standards he's definitely not, it's only in years alive that he's a baby. They're still mad at Rocky, but they did save the stars, so they can let this pass.
