[The bitter I don't feel at home anywhere almost slips out, but he catches it, grimacing a bit. And then, of course, the much more pleasant "I have a crew of my own" also doesn't come. Stuck between a bitter and a hopeful place- sounds like his life.

[Well, he can't work around that question. He idly rakes his claws through the fur of his arm and stares up at the sky above them.] Less of a crew, more like a bunch of misfits I picked up and never got rid of. They're not so bad though, even if most of them are still asleep. [Muttered:] Lazy jerks.

You would feel at home among my crew.
[ Raucous, delightful bunch. She misses them fiercely, and another time might have aimed to poach Rocket for her own helmsman. ]
