Skipping details to watch people squirm is something Rocket enjoys quite a bit. He’s got to get his entertainment somewhere, right? He tries not to chuckle too obviously at the look on his new acquaintance’s face though.

“You can ask,” he says, and leaves a pause just long enough to make it seem like he’s not gonna answer before he cracks a smile. “Petty theft, mercenary activity. Got busted trying to live capture a bounty and now he’s one of the family.” Also arson and fourteen prior escapes from incarceration, but if Rocket says that, this guy might just run off screaming. Which would be funny, but then his wife would probably go after him, and Groot’s having too much fun to break it up so soon.
