[It wouldn't be too hard to find the others. Galenia stepped out of the crowd, raising a hand and calling out a very great number. And, just like that, Dieguez obeyed every burning impulse that flowed through his veins and ran toward the bunch, all while loudly muttering,] She can't be betraying us; she can't.
[And yet...there she was, bidding with the rest. A part of him was certain there had to be a good reason, even if such a thing eluded him at this time. Mere minutes ago, he'd trusted her. Sure, it wasn't to the greatest degree. But, it was there. Another part recalled the promise Quill had made, to placate him, weeks ago.
The last number that escaped her lips brought a hush to the party. A hush that hid daggers. Cautiously, the remaining pair from their group took their places next to Galenia. Rocket stood at her left, with his hands in his pockets. Gideon slouched at her right, with a very uncharacteristically hardened expression on his face.
When Dieguez arrived in their vicinity, would he take a place by her side as well?] Quill! Is she betraying us??! [Surely the Conman would have known; he should have predicted such a thing would take place, after getting to know her. His experience should have allowed him some insight into her personality that the rest were not privy to.
Unless, of course, his affection for her had blinded him.]
