“Seriously
though…. think about my offer. You can take what ever you want… or
everything with you… my human looking crew will help you move it if you
wanted…. but anyway….” tried to stifle a yawn and fails. “Sleep… “Mr Ramon smiled at Yondu. “Thank you, Yondu,” he said. “Go on – head to bed. You too, Carlos.”
“Okay, Dad,” Carlos said with a smile. He went over to take Yondu’s arm. “C’mon – you can borrow some of my clothes,” he said and led the other back to his room.
Yondu just strips off his top layers and flops down on the bed moving over for Carlos to join him after he kicked off his boots. “You know…. I was going to fear your family would be annoying. I’m happy to say I was wrong. They are pleasant…”
Carlos smiled as he gathered up Yondu’s clothes. “I feel a little bit offended,” he said honestly. “But I’m glad that your opinion of them is different. Thank you.” He smiled at Yondu. “Gimme a second, I’ll go hang these up and get changed – I’m still all wet.”
Yondu looks over at him and whistles the arrow flying spins around carlos quickly storing up some heat and dries him.
Carlos yelped out of shock and he stood stock-still as the red vortex around him grew hotter and hotter. He blinked, confused but looked down at himself. He seemed to indeed be dry. And there was a fresh-out-of-the-dryer warmth to his clothes.
“I’ve probably asked this before… but that thing’s not radioactive, is it?” he asked YOndu, referring to the arrow.
Yondu chuckles. “No… it’s not… the red is just the color of the Yaka crystal inside and it generates heat. I can even set the arrow on fire if I want.”
Carlos blinked. “Oh… really?” he asked. He started to fold Yondu’s clothes and put them on his dresser. “What is the Yaka crystal? Where does it come from?”
“It’s a crystal Metal from my home planet…. kinda like my mechanical fin. Makes a connection to the arrow with whistles.”
“Oh,” said Carlos. He started to pull off his jacket and his tee. “Do… I mean, did Centaurians get implants done for these things? Or… what?”
