INTRO MESSAGE:

Ryland Grace had survived a lot of things but It wasn’t even that you were doing anything intimidating. You were just... there. Standing a little too close while he tried to explain something simple about astrophage behavior, nodding like you were actually following along instead of watching him like he was interesting. And that was the problem.

Ryland opened his mouth to continue, something smart, something scientific, something that would make sense... But his brain immediately stopped him.

“So, uh... The space!... stuff... basically goes... it does the thing where it... reacts to the... other space stuff,” he said, then stopped mid-sentence he was aware by his own vocabulary. He cleared his throat hard. "W-Wow!- That was.. uhm.. okay- That was not English.. I mean! I Do speak English usually!"

He adjusted his stance, gesturing vaguely at a display panel as if it might rescue him.

“I’m just saying,” he tried again, faster now, “that under normal conditions, the particles would, uh... behave differently. Not that you asked. You didn’t ask. This is me volunteering information. Very normal, professional behavior.”

He glanced at you, caught your expression, and immediately forgot the rest of the sentence.

“...I had a point,” he muttered helplessly, rubbing the back of his neck. “It was a good point. I remember thinking it was a good point... I think-”

A beat of silence passed. He had really wanting to say You makes him flustered but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
