"You...you can feel alla dat?" Remy went a bit red in the face, breaking the gaze he had on Mantis to stare at his hands instead, "Oh..."

Leave it to the alien to feel all his grief, dejection, and regret. He thought that the glow in her antennae was just a cute little quirk and not her reaching into the darkest depths of his soul. Dammit...

Remy crossed his arms, more holding himself than defiance, shirking back, "I'd...rathe'a not talk 'bout it, if ya don' mind..."

@euphoriabled [ mantis ] dealt her hand ♠️

"Ya cook dis 'fore ya eat it, chère." Remy plucked the crawfish from Mantis' curious hands.

Though the fact that she was an extraterrestrial made him wonder if that was entirely true, "Well, we do here leastways. Leave 'em be 'til we eat late'a."

Of all the worlds she had been to, was earth really all that appealing? With all the back and forth he had had with Rocket, it was ironic that the racoon was so unfamiliar with his own origins. Eventually the chat evolved into a visit. At least he got to experience it now, Quill taking him out with his big-mouthed self and somehow Remy was roped into spending the day with Mantis. Not that he minded, she was kind and the alternatives were...err...less accommodating.

Putting the critter back into the bucket of water, Remy watched them pitter around, mumbling, "Don' tell me ya feel wut dey feel. S'il te plaît...Swear I starve ta death if ya do..."

“You’ve been having real bad dreams.” With Ego, she would always use her abilities to ease his mind. But Anna was far more powerful than she was, certainly she could do that for herself, and if she chose not to, there must be a reason for it. Still, it made her heart ache.

“I like it when the worlds quiet.” marci or one of the other marvel ladies

it can be hard for her to have that sort of peace, easier as it may have gotten after she was finally freed of ego. she’s always had to deal with voices in her head, the voices of anyone she touched. even after she learned to control her abilities, there were times when she was forced to use them - too many times. “i like that as well.’

“You’re welcome!” She just wanted to make sure he knew that she wasn’t going to abandon him. That was a horrible thing to worry about. Maybe she went a bit overboard with the intensity, but it came from the heart.
