Space being weird is part of what makes flying in it exciting. I have heard of those. Have you ever tried navigating one yourself?
I'd be interested in seeing your handcuff skills. Maybe you could teach me something.
My hero. [ K's smiling to himself and rather flustered by this point, not only from the flirting but also from the feeling that comes with being treated like a person. A person worth protecting. It's very new and strange and though he knows he shouldn't, he can't help liking the feeling... and wanting to experience more of it. ] It's interesting, I don't encounter that treatment as much whenever you're around. It seems you and your associates have quite a reputation. And I very much appreciate the support.
You have a fascinating lineage. Unless there's a joke here that I'm not getting. Because I never would've guessed you're half planet-brain-pure energy.
That's a good point. And yes, I did, more than once. It's a lot easier not to crash when your copilot isn't being an asshole and trying to take the reigns of the ship from you.
[ If Peter sounds a little gruff and as if he's talking from experience, it's because he is. ]
Sure thing. I bet we could both learn a thing or two from each other.Â
Guardian. Gotta protect the people I care about. [ Peter grins at that hero comment, even more so after seeing K flustered. ] See, all the more reason to travel around the galaxy with us. We do, uh? Have a reputation. Funny how much things can change after you save the galaxy a couple of times. People also didn't respect us when we started. Or they were afraid of us.Â
Hah. No, yeah I use the word 'Celestial', because it's shorter, there's no inside joke. That's really who Ego was.Â
i think i messed up before, i'll assume they're talking in person now XD
[ As with most of Peter's quips like that, K can tell there's obviously a story behind it. One that he's curious to know more about. And, well. He's thinking maybe there's time enough now to actually get to know each other a little better. His bizarre imprisonment by the Collector will hopefully remain as nothing more than a bad memory thanks to the Guardians, and since the galaxy has been saved (for now) and they're not currently dealing with any harrowing life or death circumstances — maybe it's a good time for those drinks, after all.
He gets up to look for where his coat has ended up, replying over his shoulder as he does. ]
Travel with you. [ Surprise is plain in his voice and expression when he turns back to look at Peter; he's caught off guard by the suggestion. Invitation? He'd assumed they'd be going their separate ways whenever Peter and his crew found a suitable place to drop him off in. Just as he'd assumed Peter's flirtations weren't intended to be taken seriously. But now he's not so sure, on either count.
The people I care about.
That certainly hadn't escaped his notice, but one thing at a time. ]
You mean on more than just a temporary basis?
oops oh yeah, let's go with that too. My fault actually; I forgot it started with texts.
[ Peter knows all too well what it's like to be forced to stay trapped in a place you don't like with aliens that are complete nutjobs. Growing up with the Ravagers was nowhere near as bad as what K went through, of course, even if it was often painful and he got beat up a lot, but it left him with little patience for assholes who treat other people like they are objects to keep and collect.
None of the Guardians tolerated that well, given each one of their messy pasts, so it comes as no surprise that they try to put an end to these sorts of practices when they have the chance. ]
I'm great company during trips, and my taste in music is excellent. [ The last part isn't even boasting; Peter has extensive music knowledge and a lot of great songs he likes to share with anyone who spends more than 30 minutes with him, sometimes less. ]
Well, yeah, but that's up to you, of course. Your choice. We can drop you anywhere if there's someplace you'd like to return to. If not...the Bowie is a huge ship; we have plenty of room to spare. And I'd like to get to know you better.
