I honestly like how many agree that even though Grace can't get tattoos carved into his body or certain jems/stones imbedded into his body, Rocky and Adrian find other ways to go about it.

They give Grace jewelry with pieces of symbolic significance like as a way to decorate his glasses, or as earrings, or as a necklace or bracelets. Grace is different, but he is also seen as an Eridian all the same, and they want him to be part of them too in his own way even if it can't be traditional.

Like I imagine Rocky gives him bracelets and just goes "Grace say Grace no have family, Grace Rocky now family, Grace wear family crest on arms"

And Grace is like- "Oh-! You.. I.. Oh Rock you really don't have to I- I mean that's tied to you and your family specifically, your history and bloodline and-"

"Grace say Grace Rocky not family? Not part of history? Family?" Rocky says, seeming disappointed

"No! No no no we are family-! We are, lemme just- uh-" haphazardly puts on the bracelets "See? Family! Do I just- do I put them together when saying my name too or is it well- more of a symbolic thing?" Grace says

Rocky would be giggling "Good good, happy happy happy. Now Grace obligated to go to awkward family gatherings with Rocky." Rocky says before walking off

Design for Eridian Grace

He is still soft and fragile, things don't change much
