Yondu nods to Tullk going over to the cook to get some food for his boys then walks by patting half’s head.
Carlos followed Yondu closely. He just gave the two Ravagers
a nod as he passed. He picked up one of the trays placed on the counter for
Kraglin and Peter and just waited to follow Yondu’s lead.Yondu headed off Carlos following just as half went and burrowed under tullks shirt for warmth.
Carlos made a mental note to ask about Half-nut later. They made
it out of the mess hall into the corridor back toward Yondu’s quarters.“How often do people get sick here?” Carlos asked YOndu
suddenly. “Is it just on occasion like any other workplace?”“We’re all pretty hardy from sick… lots of vaccines and such…. but the void…. well that’s something you can’t fight….”
Carlos nodded, understanding. It would probably take Half-nut
a while to get back to work.“How about Peter?” he asked. “How well does he do here?
Sickness-wise.”“Been here since he was a kid… so he does well. Still get these terrian bouts of colds but space is a bit chilly at times.”
Carlos hummed, nodding. “Okay,” he said softly, mind still
thinking about it. “I suppose I might be alright… if everyone else is
vaccinated and Peter does alright…”Nods. “Of course you will. And if you catch sick… we’ll. I’ll bundle ya up and make ya rest with some soup.”
Carlos resisted the urge to chuckle. He looked at Yondu,
smiling slightly. “I… thanks. I’ll try not to get sick though, all the same.
Those engines are fixed now, but… it sounds like there’s some other places that
need to get patched up, too.”
