[okay, at least a girl question is something that doesn't completely gross him out and he's at least semi-qualified to answer. once again, though, drax takes it too far, and there's a moment when he visibly scrunches his entire face in disgust.

if he never hears the word carnal again it will have been too soon.]

Coulda just left it at 'infatuated' and I would've gotten the picture. Just saying. [not the point, peter. not the point. try again.] Have you tried asking her about it?

[donotdance]

No. I have been told that I am... perhaps... over-the-top.

[lbr probably Gamora.]

I don't know what top I have climbed, but I am certain she was also insulting my behavior. Despite Mantis' freakish bug-like face, I don't want to hurt her feelings.

[sounds like gamora. and, well, she isn't wrong (she's rarely wrong), but she isn't exactly known for her tact in a lot of delicate situations, either. should've come to him first.]

Here's what you're not gonna do, and that's insult anyone, including Mantis. That means the words 'freakish bug-like face' are gonna stay in this conversation and this conversation only. With me so far?

[nod, blink, do something. this is very important.]

[donotdance]

[...]

But she does have a freakish bug-like face.

[Not understanding here. You want him to lie?]

[jesus christ

he stops himself just short of burying his face in his hands, but this is really starting to try his patience, which shows in the way he raises his voice a little.]

That's not the kind of thing you tell someone! Just — keep it to yourself.
