Humans need infinity liquids to do basic process, always new mucus…] "I bet I'm gonna find your ultra-high-temp organs super cute too," Grace offers with an irrepressible grin, "and actually, okay, this strikes me as a morale problem.

(or, Rocky eats something inedible. Grace helps. They both get Really Weird About It.)
