Not thinking. [ gamora can joke, too, even if she knows it immediately falls flat. she's been thinking too much over the last few days, of lost time, of lost opportunities, of now lost choices. that's the joke. the crinkle in her brow has always represented her inability to not stop thinking. peter's the one with the flair for comedy … gamora's always been the straight man amongst it all.

she thinks to alleviate the weight she's pressed against his side as a purposeful reminder that she's here (and that he's here … sometimes the deadliest woman in the galaxy needs a nudge that this is all real, too), but his arm around her waist settles it. she made the right decision. for four long years, she's been making plenty of them.

she looks at him, shifting slightly. rather than pull away, she reaches out for his zune to look at it like she hasn't seen it a thousand times before. it's the one piece of technology that she knows better than the weapons she trained with under thanos. it's much gentler, even if the volume can sometimes be a little too much. ]


I was looking for you. [ although she may be the deadliest woman in the galaxy, gamora keeps her eyes down, focused on his music player. like the music she's come to enjoy so much, sometimes she wants to hide behind it, just like he's doing right now. slightly (and unintentionally) abrupt, ] I can leave if you want to be alone.
