"Always knew I could count on you." ((Following through on my threat to strand her on Erid for enrichment. She's just happy to recognize a friendly face... er... carapace.))

โYes, yes! Can count on all Eridians!โ he encourages without missing a beat, knowing full well just what it feels like to be entirely out of oneโs element . . . atmosphere . . . away from home. Wondrous as such a situation can beโdepending on the circumstancesโitโs equally terrifying, and the last thing Rocky wants is for Rossiel to feel alone. His scarcely leaving her side is proof enough of that sentiment.
If not proof of something else entirely, which he refuses to acknowledge: He may be a little protective (since โpossessiveโ sounds less appropriate) of her at this point.
But that would come out in its own way when he elaborates, โMe mostly. Count on me first. But we all happy to help.โ Rocky shakes his carapace with that statement, bobbing about in his joy at being Rossielโs comfort. โYou are okay, question? Have what you need? Can make adjustments. Want you to be happy.โ
