Eva Stratt, still in hiding, on cosmic face time with Ryland after the suns are saved and they've figured out subspace communication.
Stratt: so you're actually, like- you're getting it on with...? The alien you made... first contact with?
Grace, indignantly: First of all, Eva, his name is 🎶🎵🎵🎶 and, our other partner by the way, is called 🎵🎶🎶- and we're BONDED as in MARRIED as in LIFE PARTNERS *all three start showing off their matching 'subdermal' implants, tattoos and anniversary scarification, (one of which is the most fuck-off massive, mathematically incredulous, artisanally cut diamonds you have ever seen because they're basically tumbleweeds on Erid,) flash-banging Stratt with their opulence in her hideout lightyears away.*
Grace: And we have PEBBLES-
Stratt: Wait, you have kids with them? The most carnally you ever looked at ANYTHING on earth was the damn ice cream machine before the ice cream machine incident.
Grace: Stratt, they're not my kids.
Grace: Like genetically, that just wouldn't work.
Grace: we didn't breed, Eva
Grace, looking down his nose over his glasses, tellingly: But if you knew how good the sex is, pfft.... Well...*Adrian cutting off the facetime immediately, embarrassed*
*Rocky, in the background before it cuts out:* STATEMENT!
