It's not-- C'mon, it's not like you'll never see me again. [ Probably. ] Just-- I need some time, okay?
[ The quality of his voice has changed, too, and now he's the one pleading. Maybe if this had happened a several months ago, before there was this thing between him and Kasumi, he would've leapt at the chance of escape. But, no, there is a thing between them, and Yondu was right. It's a weakness, it's a vulnerability.
And it should be scary and worrying, and maybe if you told him a year ago that an attachment would land him in enemy territory, he would have been terrified. But right now? Peter wouldn't give this weakness up for anything.
Peter's an idiot. He knows that much. Peter's a dumb kid from a planet he barely remembers anymore, and he threw himself at an all-consuming, destructive weapon to save a galaxy, once. He'd do it again if it meant he could save just Kasumi, just his crew. Luckily he's just throwing himself at a man with blue skin and a wicked smile, and he thinks he can handle it. ]
It's just-- it's easier this way, alright? [ Because Peter's all about the path of least resistance; and usually that path means running, but not this time. ] I give him what he wants, he'll leave all of you guys alone. Simple.
