"ok are we recording?"
"uhhh looks like it."
this will be great practice. "practice for what" "well I figure that making movies would be a great way to connect with humans you know? not just the leader humans but the what's the word... civilian?" "I guess." "humans' main sense is light so using a camera to make movies should be great I can post them on the world's internet."
internet? "You know that thing grace told about. Wikipedia, YouTube, ao3, ok I get it, but I thought those things where only on the ship no you see they are everywhere and every human computer can connect and view and add to them this connection is called the internet."
"ok...... how's this supposed to help?" "just trust me! humans love movies! Grace at least does."
"Rocky does trust you, Adrian is incredible!"
"Awwwww,alright I got to start this again."

"Adrian log. Hello, this Adrian log from earth for personal and historical use. I am both recording this simultaneously on human light camera to make human moves and on erid recording device for scientist's and historians of both earth and erid to view years in the future.
right now, it's been 5 months since our arrival to earth. Grace has vitamin deficiencies in several nutrient's but is being managed by his medical team. Hes already begun improving and we are happy to see him moving more and being more active now."
"slight problem. turns out human teeth while tough can be degraded by microorganisms in the mouth as well as natural and unnatural erosions.
..... the tooth doctor said he required surgery not sure why I am neither a medical Eridian nor a human."
"Teeth are used for chewing, the breakdown of food for digestion, as well pronunciation, and other such things."
"Is disgust."
"Rocky not now."
"Our medical officer is making a detailed list on the processes of human health including the surgery grace is currently completing.
In the meantime, we are in "waiting room" until grace is released."
"Rocky is disturbed can here too much."
"You can step outside." "No, must stay near for grace."
"Awwww, and that care is one of the many reasons I love you."
"Adrian! not Infront of camera!"
"Hello? Sorry to disturb you but your friend is ready."
"Good Good Good. Rocky, Adiran and Ken go see grace now."
"Well, before you do, I should warn you that he's been given an anesthetic that has made him loopy pretty typical for a surgery like this.
The nurse will brief you on post operative care but in the meantime, you may go and see him."
"Amaze Amaze Amaze! let's go Adrian and liaison Ken!"
"A degree in political science and being an alien babysitter is what I'm doing."
We shuffled in Grace is sat is a long bent chair, various tools are carefully layed on a swivel tray a big light sits overhead and an IV lays disconnected. A nurse stands by with a wheelchair rolled out while two others and the dentist clean up.
"Alright Doctor grace your... friends?? are here."
"Grace layed there, seemingly more blob like than usual."
"wo-cky?"
I can hear something puffy in his mouth along with a fair bit of leaking. He turns to look at us and smiles. Graces facial expressions were something I had to get used but I`ve since found his human way of expressing endearing.
"Wo-cky.. Ad~aim! Hiiiiiiiiiiiii! :D"
" Whoa. He really is out of it is he alright?"
yes Mr. Ken, as you know, dental surgery can be quite painful so Doctor grace will be on some strong meds and anabiotics for the next 2 weeks. the Drug dose should be lowered after two days according to the instructions the anabiotics should be taken consistently. we will have check up on the third to check his progress and make adjustments as needed in the meantime gauze, saline mouthwash and the appropriate medications can be picked up from the front desk. no solid foods and here are the instructions for care including: meds, list of approved and disapproved foods and instructions for cleaning of the site.
the gauze will need to be replaced by the time you get home but that is normal. the bleeding should mostly taper off by this evening. Other than that, you are all set!
..Wh~att zhe sabing?? Zo mAny woooRRddssss..
Hi Wo-Cky!
"Hi grace. It`s is time to go home, grace have fun? Hehe is sarcasm."
"MMMMaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn I dO`nT remmmberrr anay thin~."
"Is good to hear no want to remember this time. Grace is okay, rocky listen Grace is good." " aaaaawwwwwwfff!! ThAnKS Wo-Cky I Thim Youu geat Tooff."
"Alright Dr. Grace let me help you up and we will get you in the wheelchair and send you right on home."
"Rocky no need chair can lift grace and carry to car."
Ken had a strained smile. "Let`s let the nurse use the chair. You can wheel him out though."
"Agreed."
"I camth feels mi facee..."
"Thats normal and will start to wear off in an hour or two, please don't poke your face."
"sqquuisshy.."
"Dr.Grace lets go to the car now."
"Okey Kem.~"

Luckily getting grace the van was easy. after the wheelchair was returned Rocky and I settled next to grace. Eridian seatbelts has since become developed since our arrival to earth. Grace spent the whole trip to back to the embassy either asleep or staring out the window. Once we arrived Ken pulled the car up to the entrance. The Eridian embassy is a converted warehouse with xenonite tunnels and mostly a multilevel series of Eridian environmental housing fully furnished with soundproofing in various private rooms. The embassy also includes a fully stocked lab, A conference room for delegation meetings, and apartment for grace.
That's where we end up rocky and I carry Grace to his living room couch. It's a cozy place one bedroom one bath and living room with an open kitchenette area off to the side. Adding an apartment for grace came second after the Eridian envirdomes were made and, the conference rooms and lab were added.
Turns out with the whole aliens exist and need an embassy and this dude not legally being alive and spending the first month or two back on earth kind of distracted most humans from him being technically homeless.
Of Course, Grace was to live with us! he is Grace! he lived with us on Erid! He had his own habitat and house on Erid and freely came and gone from Rocky and I`s House through his own personal tunnel! We love him.

We got him to lay on the couch. a soft burgundy two-seater. plush brown carpeting coated the floor and a small green area rug layer on top. I classic real wood grain tv stand sat across from him with the coffee table a skewed to make way for Eridian friends. Despite Graces apartment being the smallest area in the building, It`s the most popular area to hangout. (Movie night is a favorite.)
"Ok, I`m going to pick up supplies, Don`t forget to swap out the gauze and keep him from laying on his face of laying down flat. don`t want him to choke on his own spit. "
"okay! Liason Ken!" Adrian and Rocky take good care of Grace like always!" "Goodbye Ken!"
"baaaayyeee`~where ya goin`?I`ll miss you"
"....Whatever."
And with that he left.
"Ok, lets swap these out." Said Adrian," Grace open your mouth up."
"baaahhh-"
"Still disgust. Rocky is, "going in.""
(Authors aside: Take for a moment my audience and try to imagine a navel orange size fist with only three fingers made of stone fitting into a human's mouth. understand the short fingers of the hand and the inability to turn said hand around as it tries to retrieve three pieces of spit and blood soaked gauze from said humans' mouth. Think about it.
ya thinking about it?
Good.
It was less pleasant for both parties involved, than dealing with a wet rat.)
"Eeeeuughhhhh, was disgust."
"Rocky put new gauze in question?"
".......Fuck."

"Grace stop trying to eat Rocky fingers, gauze is not food."
"mmagghhpphh"
"Ok, rocky done gauze in place."
"re should do sibeince.~"
"Grace no can stand, no do science."
"Biggggggg siebience."
"No Grace. Adrian back me up."

"awwww.... :("

taking care of grace remained uneventful, well he did try to get up and sneak into the lab. luckily geo was there and distracted him with his rock samples. When that wore off movies of Bill Nye the science Guy. "BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!" "~ILL ILL ILL ILL~ :D"
may update later Adrian out.-
