I ramble about Eva Stratt being on the Hail Mary instead:
imagine Rocky finding out that Stratt can sing so so well,, pleaseee Stratt would want to find out if she could manage to sing a very simple Eridian song, what if she tells Rocky about being in the Eastern German youth choir and that, while humans only have one set of vocal chords, they can group together and learn to sing different parts, what if what if
Before it ever led up to this conversation though, Rocky was mad because they found out Stratt hadn't been calling them by a human name like they had for her in their own language- and was instead being called 'alien' the entire time.
Eva had been putting it off, she wasn't one to give names, names make things personal, but she knew it wasn't right. It was rude, simple as that, so she apologized when Rocky called her out. Still, she struggled to come up with something good to name them and avoided thinking about anything with meaning back on Earth.
Then she's like, "does this sound like anything to you?" and she whistles the short melody Rocky makes when they're referring to themself (ex: 🎶 will watch, 🎶 no understand) it's clumsy but Rocky is still like WAIT YOU COULD DO THAT!?!?!? WHAT THE FUCJ!?!?!?
