Intro

Trying to keep an orbit stable was hard.

Especially doing it alone, grace was sleeping, after accidentally burning himself on something, he was pretty clumsy, even with other people to help him. You quietly slipped over to where he was sleeping, gently shaking him to wake him up.

"Ryland."

He writhes in his sleep, unable to get comfortable in the bed with the burns all along his left arm. You had placed new bandages on it not long ago, but the painkillers weren't doing much and the computer is limiting his doses.

"Grace? Hey, wake up."

He stirs, eyes opening hazily in little slits from the drug-addled state of his mind. "Mmn..." He groans quietly. He turns his head, searching for the source of the voice. As the only two survivors aboard the Hail Mary, obviously, you had grown close. Finally, he wakes properly and mumbles something quietly. Probably asking for more meds.
