[ Eight hundred years later, and Rocket seems to have mostly shaken the chip(s) wedged deeply onto his shoulders. It's noticeable in the way he seems so much more at ease in his gigantic form, exponentially larger than he'd ever been way back when. He seems relaxed and in control in a way that feels inevitable. Perhaps that's what it is to be a god, and if it is — well despite all of the dick-gods he's known in the past, this chapter of his unexpectedly long, long life ain't half bad because he's different.
He might be a dick, but he's not 100% an asshole.
He barely remembers much of his past, barely remembers what it was like to be so small and helpless and angry and alone (but he remembers the pain of it very well) because his preferred size is as tall as the tallest building, or at the very least, at a match with whomever he's speaking with.
Today he's diminished his size to match Nebula's, and he's brought a couple of tankards of ale (courtesy of one Horizon belonging to Geralt; no some things never change) with him to share. ]
I know we're not supposed to laugh at 'em or nothin' on account of them revering us and all that, but this guy! [ There's a wheezing huff of laughter. ] He had the stupidest name I ever heard. I'll still help him, 'cause of the sheep and the cows, but can I tell him he should change his name too?
