how long had this guy been talking? two minutes? TWENTY? long enough to have lost li’s interest a while ago. well, that and he’d already decided the story was a big, steaming, pile of bullshit. but he let him continue——- practicing some discrete meditative breathing exercises till the tale came to a close. then his head canted to the left with raised brows showing skepticism. ❝ you really expect me to BELIEVE THAT ?❞
even as he threw his entire body into depicting the epic assault on xandar – complete with the dance number that ultimately provided the necessary window for drax & rocket to act – quill was absolutely sure the little guy wasn’t even paying attention. seemed like li was doin’ some zen stuff, honestly. imagine peter’s surprise when the dude actually realized the story had come to a close.
“ considering it’s the TRUTH? i totally expect you to believe it. watch, you’ll see – only a matter of time before this planet makes contact with the intergalactic community. then you’ll feel dumb & i will laugh directly in your tiny little face. “
