[ Before the events on Xandar, space on the Milano had been limited at best. There was one room that acted as personal quarters, outfitted with four bunks, two stacked in either side. And while the ship could fit four, in theory, it was really only comfortable enough for maybe two -- if the second person was small and didn't own a lot, seeing as how Peter lived like a slob.
But after it had been totaled in the battle against Ronan and subsequently rebuilt by the Nova Corps as a thank you gift, the ship had been expanded, and rooms were split up to accommodate each of the five Guardians (though Groot roomed with Rocket). Space was still limited, and Peter still lived like a slob, but at least they each had a space to call their own.
But now-- the fifth bunk is being converted. Into, of all things, a library. On the Milano.
Still kind of weird, at least to Peter, but the others seemed on board -- well, everyone but Rocket, who had campaigned long and hard to turn the room into a personal workshop -- but, frankly, everyone was terrified by the idea, so it was quickly shot down. And Gaige was already hard at work by the time it really sank in for Peter, so by then it was too late to change his mind.
It's been a few hours, at least, and Peter has spent most of it exercising in the cargo area (because a physique like his requires work). He's surprised he hasn't seen more of Gaige. He figured with her being in such close proximity to Rocket, the two of them would've fucked off somewhere to start building atomic bombs capable of taking out entire sectors, and picking apart the toaster or the oven to do so, no less. But it seems Maya was right -- give Gaige a task, and she focuses on it.
... Unless she's building explosives up there, when she's supposed to be putting in shelves. It's when that thought occurs to him that he decides to check up on her under the guise of bringing her a bottle of water. ]
