Rocky who notices that Grace, in his sleep, presses his quilt to him mouth, and at first Rocky perceives this as unconscious hunger. And he could be right.

But, when he decides to search more into this human sleeping habit, he is met with human pebbles. 'This isn't right. Grace is not a pebble.' He thinks, feeling frustrated. The human thinking machine is tricky, he realizes.

This, of course, leads him down the rabbit hole of age regression. 'Perhaps it's involuntary, since he is sleeping. Will have to ask difference.' Rocky thinks, noting a lot of things that could probably help his human friend.

"It helps calm and destress people, a safe and effective way to cope with anything, most commonly are from everyday stress to trauma. There's no correct way to regress, as everyone is differently unique."

He reads article after article, fully intended to bring it Graces attention, as he already takes care of his human friend along with Armando, for the handy work. No pun intended.

When Grace wakes up, Rocky is still watching, though working on something new.

"Good morning." Graces voice is groggy, and he's still lying down, watching through the wall as his buddy tinkers. "What are you working on?"

Rocky moves his body contemplatively, as if choosing his words.

"New project for Grace. Did lots of research while sleeping." He explains, quite obviously vague.

"Oh? What is it?" Grace asks, catching on quickly that it's something the other might want to hide.

"Mouth soother, for adults. Look on human thinking machine about oral fixation in sleep. You are using your quilt subconsciously in your sleep, this can lead to protection choking or asphyxiation. Am making item to help prevent, since I cannot come over just yet."

Grace blinked at him, surprised and intrigued.

That was a lot of information at once. A soother? For adults?

"Like a pacifier?"

"Need word."

"Pacifier? It's a soother typically made for babies and children, to soothe and help their teeth grow in." Grace explained with a little shake of his head. "You're making a pacifier?"

"Yes, will be right size for Graces mouth. Measured myself, will help." Rocky says this with confidence, which makes something in Grace shine.

Part of him feels like he ought to argue, defend himself, even fight and deny it, but he when he turns his head towards anger it feels... lackluster. Not the way anger can feel good, this felt icky.

That promise that sweet headspace promised was nipping at his heels. Tempting indeed.

Grace takes a deep breath and sighs.

"Wow... uhm.. thank you. Rocky." He coughs, clearing his throat as his face flushes. It feels embarrassing to suddenly exist, and he wants nothing more than to hide.

"You are welcome. Will be done soon."

He stares and stares at Rocky until Mary quite loudly announces it's time for breakfast.

"Up time." Rocky announces, getting into his ball and leaving the station. It makes Grace a little sad. Rocky must notice this because he makes a reassuring song.

"Will finish before next scheduled meal, I am quick worker. Come," He's rolling his ball into Graces knees.

“hey, space cadet..”

“you're gonna need a lot of love, but not the kind you're thinking of”

Once upon a time, there was a very spooky CG. Everyone who passed by him was a little spooked. They'd hide their face, they'd hide their ears, knowing he was loud. He didn't shy away, either! Sometimes, he was very impulsive. He'd jump out, and shout, "Boo!", to keep all the others away. But it wouldn't always make him so happy.

So spooky! So dangerous! So evil! So untrustworthy! All these words made this spooky CG feel bad. If he was so bad, then how could he be good for his little one?

This spooky CG wasn't all by himself. Hiding around him, in his big shadow everyone else said was scary, his tiny, little one, always thought he was the sweetest.

"My CG isn't scary," the little tot would say, anytime he would hold their hands. "But look what others say," he would show, just for a little "no!" to halt his thoughts.

"You're not spooky!" the tiny would say, as they recalled the way their CG was just so sweet. When they'd play hide and seek, the little one was never scared to be found. Only glad! So joyful, to see their CG, unable to stop giggling.

"You're not dangerous!" the tiny would say, as they recalled the way their CG was so protective. Anytime the tiny would fall, would cry, or feel down, they would crawl for safety in their CG's arms. Arms that were comforting and soft, swaying and gentle, to soothe the pain such a little soul had.

"You're not evil!" the tiny would say, as they recalled the way their CG was so giving. Whenever the silly baby would want snacks, more gummies and treats, if they were good, their CG would let them. Would say, "oh, alright", and give them hugs, spoiling them with every new treat, whatever they liked, whatever they deserved.

"You're not untrustworthy!" the tiny would say, as they recalled the way their CG was their CG. It was important. To be so tiny, to be so so vulnerable, and to lie in his arms, was a gift like no other. To trust their CG with this little headspace was so important, and so so true.

"You're right, little one," the spooky--no, sweet--CG would say, bundling their precious up to cradle. "I'm not spooky," he agreed. "I love to make you smile and laugh when I say 'boo', not cry. I'm not dangerous. I love to keep you safe, and have fun at the same time. I'm not evil. Being with you, and taking care of my little one makes me so happy. I'm not untrustworthy, because if my little one trusts in me, I know I am good."

CGs come in many shapes and sizes. This one, was spooky to everyone else, but such a sweet CG. Taking care of such a sweet little was all that mattered most. It was so sweet, so healing, to be trusted for such a soft space. This sweet CG loved his little one, and the safety that being a CG brought. The comfort, the knowledge that no matter what others say, he was a safe, good, sweet, and protective CG.

Nothing less. And he loves his kiddo for life.
