There ain't no story to it. Me 'n Lance went up the freezin' cold mountain to find some kind of root thing, and when we pulled it outta the ground, it started screamin'.
[Rocket tilts his head up, ears flicking, expression confused, and a little bit huffy. WHAT'S WITH THE ATTITUDE... said the guy who always has an attitude.] So what did you call the little twinkly things in the sky, then?
[ He gets that question a lot, okay? More than anything, he’s frustrated over not remembering the difference in vocabulary, but fifty some years of habit are hard to break. ]
I wonder. Is there even one aspect of my person that you do not take issue with?
[ It's probably a miracle that Rocket ended up stuck in a cave with someone so notoriously hard to offend. X'rhun isn't bothered, and instead sounds more teasing than anything. ]
Dude, don't give yourself too much credit. I take issue with everything about everybody. Part of my charm.
[He says it so casually too... like maybe that will finally be the thing that breaks him. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL. He is not used to this from people. Everyone's got a limit to their patience... right?]

My, my. You’re not much fun! What were the screaming plants for?
[ Someone sure is awful chipper for possibly being trapped in a cave forever. ]

Some dude makin' weapons here in Wyver. Sounds like he's got a pretty sick set-up, if you ask me. Who puts a plant in a frickin' sword.

I live on a planet. We’ve just always called them stars where I come from. I only heard the other term after I arrived here.

Stars. We’re not terribly creative, apparently.

I guess I can't expect too much of a people who dress that way on purpose.
[Yes, it took him this long to comment on the clothes. What could he do? The first time they met, X'rhun was as close to naked as to be comfortable.]

[ His clothes are fantastic and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. ]

[Rude. He is dressed exactly as one should be when trapped in a cave.]

You and I have very different ideas of the definition of "charm", my friend.
