[ Rocket has to admit that when he was imagining half-crow half-human, he mostly did just stick crow wings on the back of a human body. What he didn't imagine, was how completely, non-negotiably orange Davesprite was.
His reactions to this whole thing are easily readable, because Rocket makes no effort to hide the fact that he leans in closer to the screen, even as his paw flips the settings to turn his own video settings on. He doesn't hide how wide his eyes open when he first sees the color orange everywhere, or how he just laughs when the crow human waves.
But that laugh — it feels like Rocket's only just realized that maybe outside of him, Groot, and the others back home in Halfworld, there are other messed up creatures in the galaxy that hesitate to show themselves, and one of them is here, stuck on this planet with him. ]
Sup. [ He says back, his head tilting up in a motion of recognition. Then, after a beat: ] So is your tail part of the crow part, or the human part?
[ There's just a subtle little bit of difference in his tone than what he's been sending in his texts. He treats humans one way, non-humans another, even if Rocket isn't entirely conscious as to how it comes out. And since he's speaking to someone who's half and half, well, there's still a little bit of a difference. Not friendlier perse, but more like ... more like he actually gives a shit. ]
