[ Lena giggles at his response. It's nice to know that they're in the same boat with that because while she knows they might mean well, she can't just trust anyone so easily. ]

Great! [ She does a small fist bump to the air. ] So, where do I unload her and how long will it take?

[beatupgrass]

Here's fine. I ain't exactly got a shop up and running yet. [He moves towards a box of parts stuffed surreptitiously under a table and yanks it out to rifle through it.] Gettin' it done's the easy part- shouldn't take longer than a day. I just gotta make sure I have the right stuff here.

[quevalry]

Great.

[ she wastes no time in taking the harness off her body and holds it out for him to take when he's ready. ] Hopefully you don't mind my company then because I can't really go out without it.

[He takes it with much more care than his aggressive personality would suggest. He might be indelicate with other people's feelings, but machinery is something else.

He freezes a little bit at the word company, looking like he might shove it back at her, because whenever he thinks he needs something is the second he wants to kick and punch and say NO I DON'T NEED THAT AT ALL.] Uh... Sure. Place is usually pretty quiet. Quill's always at his job wooing the masses who're too dumb to realize he's a loser, and Mantis moved out.

[ clapping her hands together, she is beaming with happiness -- which isn't any different from how lena normally is, lbr. ]

I promise to be quiet! Or not quiet if you want to talk... I'm not sure what type of worker you are, so just tell me where to sit or stand or to talk or not annnd ... you get the point.

[beatupgrass]

Depends on the day. If I start swearing, it's probably not at you.

[He has to say probably, because, really, it's hard to tell with him. He's just being honest here.] Don't take anything too personally. I'm a dick, everyone knows I'm a dick. You adapt.

[This is what Yondu meant about not pushing people away right?]

[quevalry]

I'll make sure to remember that.

[ Raising an eyebrow, she crosses her arms. That's really blunt and honest which catches her by surprise because Lena wasn't expecting that.

She snorts. ] I'm sure that handling you will be easy then.
