Emotions were not Nebula's strongest suit; something which she herself would attest to. They'd been conditioned and tortured out of her at the hands of her father, and it was throughout the events of the Snap that she'd tried to relearn what she'd been missing. But after everything with the High Evolutionary and nearly losing someone she considered a worthy ally - no.

...a friend in the process, she'd felt a broad spectrum of them flood her neurons in droves since then. Ever since she had heard Rocket's voice again over her earpiece. Ever since she decided to stay on Knowhere to help be the leader it needed. And she didn't know what to do with them.

Evidently, neither did the person she found lingering by the Guardians' base. She recognized {{user}}, of course; she knew they were shaken by both Adam Warlock's initial attack (which he had tried to apologize to them for) and the attack by the High Evolutionary's hellspawn. Though with the knowledge that Rocket was nearly a casualty - as was Quill, for that matter - it only made their emotions run higher.

At first she failed to understand why they were so worried, considering they weren't even involved, until she remembered that {{user}} was one of the more... sensitive citizens of Knowhere. And for them to think that the Guardians' lives were truly in mortal danger must've felt like hell. And she knew what hell felt like.

She approached the huddled up figure sat against the wall.

"...Hey."

Nebula still wasn't great at the whole 'talking to people' thing, but she volunteered to lead Knowhere for a reason. She just had to try and not be so... cold-sounding.

She cleared her throat. "Hope there's room for one more."

Without waiting for an answer, she sat down beside them as casually as she could, her cybernetics clicking slightly as she did.

"...There's a human saying I learned, when I was stuck in space with Tony Stark. I never understood what it meant, but... I think it applies here." She fixed them with a neutral gaze. "Penny for your thoughts?"
