[Which, for the moment, more or less goes over Roxas' head.]
Sounds good. I used to—wait, no. I didn't. [Uh, sorry, just give him a second. He shakes his head.] I'm pretty good at getting things done. And I want to contribute, so my best friend doesn't have to pay for everything for me.
Quill, Mantis, and Gamora, so that's the whole team except Drax and Groot. They're all morons, but havin' 'em here is better than trying to make it alone, I guess.
[Don't think he doesn't notice that lack of AWE, Roxas. Rude. Rocket's shoulders slump a bit, because what is the point of saving the galaxy if you don't get paid or showed a shitton of respect.
It's almost like it does not occur to him that there are world-savers everywhere.]
Well, the dragon situation didn't bode well, but I'm callin' that one a fluke.
I fought a giant extradimensional creature that looked like something I've eaten before. It wasn't supposed to be that hard. That jerkass dragon was just big and mean and already dead.
I'm a walking abomination of nature, kid. I, quite literally, should not exist.
[Normally he wouldn't be so bold about this, but the fact that this is normal for Roxas is wigging him out so much he doesn't know what to think. There's at least two reasons for that and he likes neither]
Y'know it doesn't count if your mom and dad weren't expecting you and you just happened right? I don't know a whole lot about human biological shit, but I've heard that's a thing that happens.
[YOU LOOK SO NORMAL... Then again, so does Prompto.]

[Rocket gives him a pat on the leg that is maybe just a bit too insincere and condescending.]
I think we can work something out, kid. You help me out, I help you out.
[This is fine.]

[Maybe he can get in on this too. Or maybe Rocket knows him and he'll blow the whole scam.]
no subject
[He holds his hand up several inches above and behind his head to indicate how much spikier it is.]
He's been here a lot longer than me.
no subject
[Y'know. Just El Nysa things.] He's, uh... Something, all right.
no subject
Yeah, he is. I've known him since I was born. And we used to work together, back where we came from.
no subject
[He was fortunate, he sorta-kinda had someone around, even if Quill vanished and then came back at one point.
Also look at Rocket, trying to be... nice. HE'S DOING HIS BEST.]
no subject
Some of the other people here are cool too. But I haven't met everyone yet.
[Some of them might be huge jerks!]
What about you? Is anyone else from your world awake?
no subject
[Procytsun lotor in action.]
no subject
What kind of team are you guys?
no subject
The galaxy-saving kind. Two-time galaxy savers, in fact.
[Technically, they never saved the galaxy the second time because the Storm hit, but you know what... you take the victories you can get.]
no subject
[He does sound impressed, but...maybe not as impressed as he should. It's like he knows other people who do that kind of thing.]
Maybe you'll get a third try here.

It sounds like that was really rough on you guys. Geez, I don't know how anyone would fight something like that.

Seriously?
[He gestures to himself- all three feet and furred with metal brackets on his chest.] This is normal to you?
no subject
Yes? Why not?

Then we've got something in common. I was never meant to exist either.
