[ gamora is careful about approaching the kree, because she sincerely doesn't want to make him think he's being approached out of suspicion, doesn't want him running off before peter's even had the chance to get the remote away from him. the man immediately snaps to look at her when she comes close, halting in his tracks to give gamora a thorough once-over.
gamora doesn't stop until she comes up beside him, and she just offers a small (hopefully disarming) smile to the kree.
she notices the way his hand slips back into his pocket, tucking the detonator away as she speaks to him, as she gets him to stop his careful approach of the stage. there's tension in his posture, mistrust and something bordering on hostile, even as he manages a polite tone with her, as he turns his attention properly into the conversation itself.
she can see peter out of the corner of her eye, but she doesn't so much as glance his way as she manages up another smile for the kree; he even seems to relax minutely when she doesn't display any aggression, as she just stands and sips quietly at her drink as she listens to him.
it's that smile, though, wholly unlike the small ones she's given to peter, the one that's made its way to her face on occasion; here and now, it's completely lacking in anything genuine.
but it does the job well enough, keeps the kree's focus on her. ]
