“But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”
“No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.”

Summary
“I think little humans love you,” Rocky says. “Must. You are—”
He hesitates, thinking.
“Need word. Love very much, but not person. Love thing. Love doing. Need nothing else.”
He has a way of working his limited vocabulary into just the right order. I turn to look at him like a starving animal that’s just been offered food, crumpling under how warm it makes me feel.
“Passionate,” I say weakly. Rocky sings the Eridian word, a multi-layered crescendo of chords that each seem to pour into the next, one by one by one. “I guess I am.”
Rocky gestures with a chain link he’s picked up, getting back to work. “Everything you do, you are focused. Work work work. You teach me language. You teach me human ways. No give up until problem is solved. No rest until stupid. Passion.”
“Darn,” I say, for lack of more intelligent words. Rocky briefly looks up from his chain.
“What, question?”
“I never thought about it like that.”
/////
Or: With nothing to do besides putting together a chain one link at a time, Grace and Rocky find time to have a moment.

Director Stratt and Dr. Grace are walking quickly across the flight deck, Carl easily keeping pace behind them. Willis and Mar share an amused look across the fuel line.

“His name is on the paper! He was instrumental to the process! Pleeease pleasepleaseplease please let me take Carl.”
