Summary
Rocky thinks, for a moment, and then says, "Need word. Mate but friend."
I blink. Surely that's just, "Friend?"
"No, know friend. Need friend but more. Friend meaning-intensifier deepest-affection-indicator legal-obligation-indicator."
Fun fact: Rocky's language (Not the only one Eridians have! But they don't have quite as many as Earth, presumably because they live so much longer. Or maybe because their memories are so good, I don't know, I'm not a linguist) loves declension. It's a real pity Ilyukhina isn't here, she would definitely be picking it all up quicker than I am.
"Uh," I say. "Partner, I guess? But that's not exclusively platonic, and you aren't usually… married? Eridians marry friends?"
"Some friends," Rocky says, as if the distinction should be obvious. "Best friends. Most best friends. Rocky marry Grace, question?"
[rocky attempts to propose, and trips over some landmines buried in grace's psyche]

Summary
Well, I say "her hand," but maybe it's his hand. Or some other pronoun I don't have a word for. They might have seventeen biological sexes, for all I know. Or none. No one ever talks about the really hard parts of first contact with intelligent alien life: pronouns. I'm going to go with "she" for now, because it just seems rude to call a thinking being "it".
[what if you wake up in space and for the first time in your life you're free from the gender panopticon so you assign your new alien best friend the objectively best gendered pronouns. which are not your pronouns. and then your new alien best friend asks hey, what's up with that?]
