[ LUCKILY peter makes sure he's done laughing before he turns his feed on to respond ]
I can't control her, Rocket. She's her own woman with her own mind. [ hell that almost sounded mature ] If she wants to pet the puppy, she's going to pet the puppy. And there really isn't a thing I can do to stop her. [ ah there it is, there's the other shoe ]
That is not my name. [ gdi ] I know where you sleep too, y'know! Only I'm not a jerk so I won't leave turds in it. I'm just saying. If it came down to it, I could get my revenge pretty easily.
But I won't.
So please don't leave any stinkin' turds in my pillowcase.
Yeah, you wish. [A muttered response, because as far as he's concerned, Quill doesn't have the guts to back up any threats. Not if he wants the ship to keep running.]
I told you before, it ain't gonna be one of mine. [Because he knows Drax would be all too willing to aid the cause.]
You think that's gonna stop me? You really think that's gonna make the slightest bit of difference? Look around you, Quill. I want to build something? I'm gonna find the parts I need. Even if that means pulling the ship apart to do it.
[ ah. if you were looking for his yelly-outburst, there it was. but he reels it back quick. he's an Adult. he's made Adult Decisions before, he can handle the bullying antics of one of his best friends. ]
If you don't want Mantis touching you, you just gotta tell her so! She's like, the nicest person in the entire galaxy! And you should be mad at Drax, not me, he's the one that practically dares her to do it. [ this is Peter Quill showing all his cards. turds are one thing, but taking apart the ship? his baby? hell no ] If anybody deserves turds in his bed, it's Drax.
No that is not what I'm asking you, I'm asking you to ask Mantis to not touch your stupid head if it makes you so mad. You've got no problem telling me when you're mad about something, why can't you tell her?
Maybe you're just not saying it right. Or maybe you should let her touch your head and then she'll feel how not into it you are and she'll stop. I don't know! I really meant it when I said I can't control what she does!
But do not put crap in her bed. She's already dealt with enough crap her whole life, we're not putting her through any here.
You should because we're good people who do good. And that includes making the girl who can read our feelings-thoughts feel like she doesn't need somebody like Ego telling her what to do all the time.
Plus! The galaxy can be a rough place but nobody's running around threatening to put crap in people's beds but you. That's seriously messed up, dude.

If I find even one turd in my bed, do you know what's gonna happen?
no subject
Well, more than usual.

I'm gonna take away your toys, that's what! No tinkering with bombs for you. I'll lock 'em all up. Just like I took away Groot's video games.

[Even though, yes, he knows she's part of the team. But that doesn't mean he's going to sit back and accept it without complaint.]
The galaxy ain't gonna go easy on her just cause she had a crappy life, so why should I?

[Okay, so perhaps he may have a track record for the whole turds as payback thing. But he really wouldn't look for permission if he went that route.]

You know you're already on Groot's, right?
[Shitlist, that is. You don't get to confiscate his games without some form of payback.]

Hey, Quill? Where's your helmet?
