Can you imagine been Adrian, a scientist that has work in the closest thing that eridians have for academia for a long, and see how your mate, who is beutiful and alive and so smart, has somehow been name the expert in humans in Erid besides the actual human living in Erid.
Like you love your mate, who is very smart, but he is an ingenier, and he has always be...special, he wasn't made for the kind of meetings and conversations that been a expert in a Alien species involve.
Imagine Adrian standing behind Rocky, because your mate needs you there for emotional support, in a conference about how to do t a habitable enviroment for your saviour human
Eridian scientists: What is the purpose of the beach?
Eridian scientists: Yeah, but why? He can't drink it, he can sink and die, why would he need it?
Rocky: The beach is going to make him happier.
Eridian scientists: Of course that we want him happy, but how a beach does that?
Rocky: I don't know, it just does.
Eridian scientists: What happen if we don't create the beach?
Rocky: He could get really sad and die.
Eridian scientists: What?!
Rocky: Yeah, when humans get sad they leak from their eyes, they call it crying, and if they get really dehydrated, they die.
Eridian scientists (taking notes no stop): What are eyes?
Rocky: Oh, is what they use to "see".
Rocky: Hmmm, they have a...sense? that we don't have.
Eridian scientists: What?!
And you are Adrian, witnessing how the conversation just goes to strange places. You think that something is off about the information your mate is giving, but you don't know about humans either so you can only see the chaos been born.
While Grace, who is been threat for scurvy and who has avoid the visit of curious scientist thanks to Rocky, can't even remember if he asking Rocky for a beach was real or a feverish dream.
