[Rocket cants his head a little bit, listening to her words carefully so not to dismiss anything- when someone who can't communicate very well makes the attempt in any way they can, you listen. It's how he picked up Groot's language. It wasn't just some natural gift, but something that took time and patience. It's nice to know that even after so long with Groot and it just being natural, he hasn't lost his touch.]

I think you're way different than most people. [Because whether she sees herself as "people" or not, that's how Rocket sees her. If you have intelligence and an ability to communicate, then you're people. He's had people deny him that kind of basic decency before and for all that he's a giant hypocrite, he isn't inclined to do the same to others.] But hey, so am I. And I've made my way by being louder than everyone else and making sure I get to be heard. You don't exactly have that option, and I bet it sucks.

[He leans over and ruffles the hair behind her ears.] You're a decent person, Ammy. There ain't many of those around.
