[ If she wasn't her own level of flustered and annoyed, Gamora might have found Peter's reaction a lot more entertaining. She, however, manages to keep her composure even with the odd flutter Rocket's obnoxious words kick up in her chest, and she takes her own steps back, glad to just follow Peter back to the entrance with the other three.
Drax gives the two of them a heavy look when they walk by. Gamora chooses to ignore it.
At least the mocking seems to stop all the way back to the Milano, this go-around with fewer traps, and despite the hard time Rocket had been giving them both, he just ends up being insistent about flying the ship so that Peter can take care of his head.
Gamora debates on simply retreating to her bunk to avoid thinking too much about the strange moments with Peter during the job: short instances of contact, of closeness, (of that stupid smile that made her heart leap). They've been largely successful at avoiding things like that since the party, and Gamora's been on board with it, because it makes it easier not confronting her own feelings. It's simpler not having to ask herself what she really wants from Peter or what significance these emotions have (unfamiliar, untested, almost uncomfortable), but despite the inclination to make herself scarce, she instead makes it to the medical supplies first. With the proper amount of painkillers and a bottle of water, she goes to look for Peter to offer them up.

A small gesture, but a genuinely nice one. ]
