[ Gamora isn't especially good at the persistent checking in like Peter is (probably because she isn't great at letting someone worry over her either, considering the multitude of times she's tried to brush off Peter's concern with her own injuries, but she's at least gotten a little better about it). She simply doesn't have the same tenacity that Peter does when it comes to offering to take care of someone, because before Peter and the rest of the Guardians, it's never been a part of her life.

You have nothing to prove, Quill.
[ It's the same thing he'd said to her, once upon a time. ]
