Wherever makes the most sense to stumble into him after that little speech of his, Rocket will find a lanky, skeletal twig of a man trying to catch up with him. "So what kind of ship are you captain of, exactly? Are we talking pirates or space?" Maybe even both, but he doesn't say it.
Thanks for clearing that up. [He snorts at the answer.]
Nope, but one of my brothers lived on the moon for awhile. [It sounds like the absurd sort of thing someone might say just to say, but he says it with such a passive ease, it's hard to think it's anything but the actual truth.]
[The first comes out quick, a hand-to-forehead ‘duh!’ moment— of course a raccoon space pirate would need clarification, there— and the second a little slower, drawn out a bit.]
[ Look, those five years during the Blip were long and there were some all-nighters. Weird conversations come up in the dead of night amongst the Avengers and the Temporary-Avenger-types, like himself.
He remembers asking about the floating little orb around Quill's Terra and the response was a little underwhelming. ]
[ Rocket is just gonna tilt his head all the way up. ]
What the hell is a treasure cat?
[ That's a new one.
It also isn't something he especially hates. Treasure is good, right? He likes treasure. And cats are fine. He knows one now, it lives at the treehouse, and he calls him 'Little Idiot' 'cause that's what he is. ]

But after leaving said skeletal twig of a man in a moment of suspense, he shrugs a shoulder. ]
Mostly space though. You ever been?

Mostly it's empty. And weirdly very grey.

Date: 2023-10-02 03:54 am (UTC)It's fine. He's not here to talk about astrophysics either. He shrugs a shoulder in agreement. ]
Coulda picked a better moon for the gig, but yeah, sure, it's important. So you never visited your brother on the moon?
[ No check-ins? Come on, man.
(He's just pulling the guy's leg, of course. What does he know about maintaining familial relationships anyway?) ]

Date: 2023-10-05 07:27 am (UTC)[A beat.]
Well, technically he killed himself to force us back together.
[Yeah, Klaus doesn't understand normal family dynamics either, buddy.]

Date: 2023-10-10 04:55 am (UTC)[ Okay, so they're both a little effed up. Cool, cool, good to know. ]
And you're completely normal about it, huh?

Date: 2023-10-11 02:58 pm (UTC)[Was that a raccoon joke? A small one. For a treat.
At least he didn’t call him a trash panda~ ]

So you're not normal? Cool. Join the club.
