Imprisoned, Rocket hoped that things were going well for Ruby. Distancing himself didn't help the problem, but he can't bring himself to tell her, can he? He's an asshole and not a softie.

As Yondu smiled later in his conversation with Rocket, Rocket swore he got a warm feeling for a bit, and then it was ruined by those disgusting-ass teeth.

A professional asshole indeed.

A few minutes later, Groot returned, covered in a green substance of some sort, and Rocket could only look on with sympathy.

That was when Yondu had an idea. Groot would help them get out by retrieving Yondu's yaka arrow.

Knowing Groot, this isn't going to work. Rocket thought.

On the 1st try, Groot came back with a piece of smelly underwear.

On the 2nd try, he returned with a live and squealing orloni.

Then, Yondu beckoned Rocket to try instead, but that didn't make matters better. Groot retrieved Vorker's eye instead.

"That's Vorker's eye. He takes it out when he sleeps. Go. Look again."

"But leave the eye here."

"Why?" Yondu jerked his body to face Rocket.

"He's gonna wake up tomorrow...and he's not gonna know...where his eye is!" Rocket finished with a wheezing laugh, banging his raccoon hand on the metal cage-like feel of the floor.

The next thing brought back was a desk.

"Thats a desk. We told you it was this big." Rocket said exasperatedly, using his hands to show Groot the width of the yaka arrow.

       However, the situation didn't get better if you asked Rocket.

If anything, it got worse in his opinion.

       As Groot showed both him and Yondu the severed toe.
"Tell me you guys have a refrigerator somewhere… with a bunch of severed human toes."Rocket told Yondu, feeling uneased by the bloodied toe. Yondu shaked his head slowly, obviously unnerved by the ghastly sight.

       "Okay, then lets just agree to never discuss this." Rocket replied, becoming more grossed out by the human toe by the minute.

        "The drawer you wanna open has this symbol on it. Okay?" Yondu said, pointing to the ravager symbol.

        And Groot misintepretation took flight again, this time he put the ravager symbol on his head

         "What!? No!" Yondu yelled, officially giving up on this shit.

"He thinks you want him to wear it as a hat."

"Thats not what I said!"

"I am Groot."

"He's relieved you don't want him to."

"I am Groot."

"He hates hats."

"I am Groot."

"On anyone not just himself."

Yondu's patience was already wearing thin.

"I am Groot."

"One minute you think someone has a weird-shaped head… the next minute it’s just because you realize part of that head is the hat. That’s why you don’t like hats?"

"This is an important conversation right now?" Yondu said with a tone that implies that of a statement more than that of a question.

Then, there was the final try.

Groot sneaked into Taserface's room,
using his vines to open the drawer.The prototype fin was in there, but....

Inside also contained a small round can of candy. Groot was about to grab the round can of candy to go, but then, a voice spoke up.

"That ain't it."

       Kraglin dropped the Yaka arrow right in front of Yondu, apologising for doing a mutiny.

       "Get the third quadrant ready for release."Yondu ordered Kraglin.

"One more thing. You got any clones of Quill’s old music on the ship?"Rocket asked, dying to have some wicked music to listen to for his 24th prison breakout.

      Upon knowing Kraglin had some, Rocket smiled viciously. Things here are about to get freaky.
