Khylen shook his head quickly before walking away, he had to get away from the action or he was going to blow up and then no one would be happier. He grabbed his hair and tied it into a messy bun with the tie that was on his wrist, his ears perked up when he heard footsteps behind him. "You okay?" Peter asks, leaning against the door to the room that Khyeln went into.

"I will be, I'm just not used to working with a crew that doesn't like each other you know?" Khylen says turning around to face Peter who nods. "Kind of, the ship I grew up on we're like one big dysfunctional family. Glad to be out of Kyln? Bet you're glad to not have to share a cell with me anymore." Peter chuckles walking into the room and standing next to Khylen bumping their shoulders together. "Eh, your not so bad. You talk a lot but I've had worse cellmates."

Khylen leans against the counters behind him with a smug look on his face as he watches as Peter processes what Khylen just said. "Wait what? You've been to prison before?" Peter turns towards Khylen looking at him in amazement. "Yea, mainly misunderstandings as they didn't know we were on a job kind of like why we ended up in Kyln. The misunderstandings get cleared up by the clients calling the prison but this time they didn't do anything so we have to only assume it was a trap." Khylen never really thought about it before but that is the only excuse that makes sense. "Damn, that blows." The two of them are in silence for a minute before Warrick knocks on the door and nods his head towards Khylen silently telling them that they need to talk. "Duty calls, let me know when we made it wherever we're going." Peter snaps his fingers. "That's what I wanted to tell you, I finally pried it out of Gamora. We're going to Knowhere, if you don't want to get caught again you can stay on the ship I guess." Khylen sighs and shakes his head making the bun shake on top of his head.

"No, it's fine. Thanks." Khylen nodded at Peter one last time, before turning and walking with Warrick to the room that Warrick is sleeping in along with Vaughn who gets the top bunk. "Of course we're going back to Knowhere," Khylen says sighing as he takes a seat on the tiny chair in the corner so Warrick takes a seat across from him on the bed. "Bound to see it again sometime." Warrick chuckles but it tapers off, he looks down at his hands awkwardly turning them looking at them with an odd amount of focus. "So, I finally got Drax away from Gamora. I think Macy is trying to talk to her, distract her from wanting to punch Drax." Khylen chuckles putting his forehead in his hands. "Who is keeping Macy from killing Gamora?" Khylen laughs at his own joke as he sits back up and leans back letting his head hit the wall. "You know, I can't help but notice how you are being all flirty with Drax."

Warrick looks at Khylen shocked before he sputters trying to say something but his face turns a shade of pink when he finally admits defeat and quiets down forfeiting trying to come up with a good excuse. "Uh, I didn't expect it to happen. I don't think it will for a while but I like him, Drax is interesting but I don't want to be someone emotionally constipated." Khylen opened his mouth and closed it quickly before shaking his head and decides to give up trying to decipher what Warrick means. "I definitely have to agree with whatever you mean, he isn't very well in touch with your emotions but you know what they say. Opposites attract." Khylen winks at Warrick puffing out his chest as he's excited he used an Earthling saying in hopefully the right context. Warrick shakes his head fondly before standing up and patting Khylen on the shoulder. "Shall we go save Macy?" Khylen snorts as he nods and follows Warrick down the hall. "More like we should save Gamora, don't underestimate Macy," Khylen said the last part loudly as they were walking in the room so Macy could hear him, she looked and smiled at Khylen as he walked into the room and over to her.

"Missed you." Macy reached over as soon as he was in arm's reach and yanked him closer by his waistband, Khylen chuckles and gently grabs her hand before bringing it up to his lips and kissing her closed hand. "Surprised you haven't killed each other yet," Khylen comments taking a seat on the booth next to Macy which she took as her invitation to move to his lap kissing him on the nose for his trouble. "Trust me, I wanted to," Gamora said dryly staring at Macy shaking her head before scooting off the bench using the other open side.

Khylen looks at Macy shaking his head fondly when she gave him an innocent look. "So, what do you think of Peter as a captain?" Macy asks scooting back off of his lap taking the seat next to him. Khylen sighed before leaning forward and bringing his hands together on the table. "He's alright, he doesn't have enough confidence which does impact his abilities as a captain but he'll be there." Macy nodded in agreement, she leaned over and laid her head on his shoulder squeezing his arm tightly letting her hand grasp onto his. "Doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes as they say on Earth." Khylen laughs and shakes his head in a mix of laughter and agreement.

"You aren't wrong."
