Smiles and gives a chuckle. “You’re… so damn cute…”

Carlos stared at Yondu, surprised. He looked
down at his food, feeling a little embarrassed. He could feel his ears warm up.
“I… Um, thank you,” he said softly.

“Your welcome.” Smiles at him happily.

Carlos laughed softly, nervous. “Um… you ever
dated anyone before?”

He cringed a bit. Shit – no, you shouldn’t talk about past
relationships with someone you’re dating. At least not right away. Dammit, Carlos!

“No….. actually this is the first time. I have.. slept with… well ….. robots… sex bots….. but I mean….. nothing emotionally tied….”

Carlos blinked at him, perturbed by that. But
he nodded slightly; because of course it made sense. Some folks just needed
that sort of interaction… and better hooker-bots than someone else actually
getting exploited from it.

“I… I see. Yeah, it’s… been a while since I’ve
done anything like this too. I mean… I think I was P… Quill’s age. Nothing
lasting happened, it’s just… the last time I gave it a shot.” He looked at
Yondu. “Um, is there… a reason for that? Culture, or… what? I’m sorry if that’s
a dumb question – I’ve only been on a Xandarian colony so I only know about
Xandarians and those who visit on occasion.”

Nods to him smiling at him his ears giving another little flick.

Carlos glanced at the ears and smiled very
slightly. “You doing that on purpose?” he asked.

Blinks ears flicking up then back down. “Doing what?” One ear flicks.

“Your ears… they keep twitching,” Carlos told
him.

“Oh…. Yeah.. they uhh… it’s like.. ummm.. think of a cats… or something…..”

Carlos nodded. “Yeah, I see,” he said. “It’s…
interesting. Humans can’t do that. Though… I guess you know that.”

Nods and smiles. “we all have our own things. Even you. You wrinkle your nose when your thinking hard.”

Carlos sat up slightly, surprised. “I do?” he
asked. He tried to think. He… he supposed he did. He couldn’t recall a specific
time though… but he didn’t disbelieve the Captain.

“Hehe. Your doing it now.”

Carlos blinked at him. “Oh, I am?” he asked,
hand reaching up to touch his nose. Yeah, he could feel a wrinkle in it… huh.

“Hmmmm
you know… I never thought of that. I haven’t had time to… catalogue
them….. you know they have a app for that… I should use it. But you know
even if I had more then one I would still keep it…. There part of my
collection… so…. “

“But getting that application might help keep
you from getting doubles in the future,” Carlos suggested. “And really, you’re
not the only one in the universe. My dad likes chickens, for some reason. It’s,
uh… it’s a farm-bird. He has them decorating his kitchen back home.”

“Your… father has live chickens decorating his walls at home? Is this a… Terran thing?”

“What? No, no, not live chickens. I meant like
– well, like you. He’s got chicken figures in the window sill, some macramé art, matching dish towels and
dishes… that sort of stuff.” Carlos pursed his lips together, thinking. “Though,
yeah… some Terrans do taxidermy animals and decorate their homes with them. It’s…
weird.”

“Oh…. well that makes more sense…. but yeah… it’s what I collect. Ummmm I got a few special ones as gifts from my boys.”

Carlos smiled. “Oh, that’s sweet,” he said
without really thinking about it. He suddenly remembered where they were and
looked around, wondering if anyone heard him. “I – I’m sorry, Captain, but…
yeah, I really do think that. I shouldn’t have said so aloud though.”

“It’s fine… the only crew here are my inner circle. The few I can trust…. your fine.”

Carlos looked around again, but nodded
sheepishly at Yondu. “Right… I’m sorry, still. I’ll be more careful.”
