[ Quill can see the far away look in Tony's eyes. It reads all over his face, and he's seen that too. It's not good. None of this is.

He doesn't stay to see if he needs much else. They don't have the time. Well, this guy doesn't have the time. The blanket should help with the shock, once he gets them into space he can see about some warmer clothes. Space is cold, and this guys wearing some weird running suit it looks like. It's not gonna be enough. ]

You know a lot about spaceships and their engines? [ There's a hint of biting sarcasm to the question. ] I know my ship. I can get her going.

[ But the other Earth guy is trying to help. Probably as a distraction. He knows that feeling. He reaches up and rubs the back of his neck. ]

There's some structural damage. If I can find where Rocket put the building tool, I can show you how to use it while I work on the engines. It's not easy to use, though. Gotta be patient with it.

Think you can handle that?

[ By now, Tony isn't surprised by Quill's sarcasm, so when he makes that quip, he hardly thinks anything of it. Or maybe it's the blood loss, who knows. Either way, when he responds, it's not defensive in any way. It's more factual - and tired, because shit the adrenaline is draining quick - than anything else. ]

I may be from Earth, but I can figure out my way around an engine. So yeah, just tell me where to go. I can handle it.

[ He'll push through. He has to. As much as his body is starting to feel like it wants to just crash once and for all, he's not ready to let himself do it. He's almost afraid of what will happen once he stops moving, and the grief rears its ugly head once more. ]

...how long have you been living in space?
