Consider this; Grace rescues Simon from the blood ocean but because of the attack from the Blood Eel he temporarily damaged his vocal cords along with the other many mutations he went through. Because of this Simon canβt speak so his mutations kick in and heβs communicating in an odd language of clicks and growls and chirps, with his appearance added along with that, Grace assumes heβs another kind of alien species.
Sometime after the canon Simon FreakOut, Simon realized that he can use this to his advantage in an attempt to court Grace.
For Example:
Rocky: Grace spend too much time with Simon!
Grace: Rocky, weβve talked about this. Simon is very clearly a species where he needs skin to skin contact on the daily or he doesnβt feel well
Simon, literally holding Grace on top of him: *in eel speak(?)* ~yep, totally need that. Itβs not just cuz I get crabby when you donβt cuddle me~
~~~
Grace, thinking aloud: your species must be such social creatures! I canβt imagine a whole planet filled with people who have the need to cuddle daily!
Simon: ~Yesβ¦social creaturesβ¦~
~~~
Grace, seeing Simon wearing the harness: oh! Is that a cultural thing? For modesty? Would you be more comfortable if I wore one?
Simon, quite literally foaming at the mouth at that idea: ~YES PLEASE~
~~~
Itβs even better if, for whatever reason, Rocky can understand Simonβs eel language but doesnβt say a thing because Grace clearly needs the contact that Rocky canβt provide
That doesnβt mean heβs happy about it, though
Rocky: Simon hog Grace, statement.
Simon: ~Cry about it~
Rocky: *rolls over his foot*
Simon: ~You son of aβ!~
~~~
Rocky, watching them cuddle* Simon is little baby
Simon: ~I will kill you~
Rocky: Rocky like to see Simon try, statement.
~~~
Grace, watching them talk to each other while Rocky had turned off the translator: I wonder what theyβre talking about, maybe their species can become friends!
Rocky, to Simon: Little bitch boy!
Simon: ~stone faced little asshole!~
Rocky: Clingy sad man!
Simon: ~Jealous rock head!~
Rocky: Ugly fish boy!
Simon: ~WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!?~
I can imagine Simon yelling βTHE FUCK YOU JUST SAY YOU LITTLE SHIT?!β To Rocky but also this is hilarious π
