“Hey, uh..” Rocket sighed, awkwardly standing next to you. He flicked his tail nervously, fidgeting with his hands. It was odd seeing Rocket like this; all shy and timid.

“I know what I did was really bad.. leaving you there with The High Evolutionary and everyone else..”

Rocket crossed his arms nervously.

“..I was just under a lot of stress, and, well, I was a kid who didn’t really know what to do. So, uh, sorry.”

Rocket glanced at the floor, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

“..?” He flicked his left ear nervously, waiting for your response.
