[ Peter seriously fucking hates it when a guy hires more than one merc, because it almost always ends in damaged goods or people getting shot, and by the time you come away with the item in question and tell them about the trouble you ran into, the guy inspects the goods and goes, "Oh, this isn't in the condition I expected it to be," and pays you less. Or sometimes you just get beaten out and have to travel back to the boss with your tail between your legs, and suddenly you've got a black mark on your once sterling reputation -- all because one dude got hired five minutes before you by the same guy. It's a waste of fucking time all around when you could be doing actual work instead of getting the run around.

Yondu was usually pretty good about keeping that kind of crap to a minimum. The Ravagers had a reputation for not putting up with that kind of bullshit, and when it did happen, the retribution was Biblical. Star-Prince or Space-Lord or whoever the hell this kid was? His name didn't carry the same weight as one Yondu Udonta. So once Peter went AWOL from the Ravagers and started picking up work for the Guardians, they suddenly ran into that shit a lot more.

So understandly, he and the others are pretty pissy, and his mood by the time he and Maya step off the Milano -- and he had urged the others to stay, because he knew Drax or Gamora or Rocket would go mental and either blow him up or rip out his spine or something -- hasn't improved. Still, he does his best to tamp it down. No need to take it out on anyone who doesn't deserve it. ]


What, they shut down? That's rude. I woulda thought the guy would be happy to get his stupid toy.
