"Dad, give me the tools before you get hurt, with your paws-" Rocket told Rocket Senior.
"You just mentioned grabdpa's paws, that hurts his feelings like when the other teachers point that out." RJ told Rocket seeingva hurt look on his dad's furry face handing him the tools.
"It's not my fault I don't have thumbs, it's how I came into the world." he said going to his room closing the door gently since the baby-raccoons were getting ready for bed knowing they like RJ needed their rest and was lying on his embiggened bed sniffling which turned into crying, which made Nebula worry after Rocket had told her, what had upset him.
"Ssshhhh buddy it's okay mayge we could get you prosethic thumbs, like my left hand." she told him.
"T-That's a t-thing." he replied through sniffles seeing her nodding, unaware Rocket was listening as Shocket told him Captain Terra who happened to be hee big sister was approaching Terra
"I think she's checking that the Terrans are keeping their promise, honey plus how's the friendship mission with Linda." Rocket said to Shocket.
Good, but surprised you're not rushing to join Emily.
"I have things here to deal with." Rocket said hanging up.
He saw Nebula join him, explaining his dad was upset, about his lack of opposable thumbs and had told him about prosethic thumbbs impressing him, saying he could do that, hisfurry cheeks going pink feeling bad he'd hurt his dad's feelings as he loved him looking forward to Rocketsgiving hoping Emily and Shocket wouldn't start anything.
"Is grandpa feeling better, now Nebula taljed to him." RJ asked rubbing his eyes
"Sort of." Rocket told him starting his winding down routine for bed hoping his dad was
"Grahdpa cone on, it's a school day." RJ said the next morning getting onto Rocket Senior's bed.
Rocket fouhd this hilarious coming into his dad's room guessing what was bothering the chunky raccoon-male telling RJ to go get ready for school sitting on the bed with his dad feeling his big furry arms around him explaining it was because of the other teachers making fun of his paws seeing Rocket Senior nodding sniffling.
"Dad if you let them get to you, then they win and your kits are counting on you, they love you which their parents tell you." he told him seeing his dad kiss hisfurry head.
"Thanks buddy as you're right they need me, I gotta get ready and put on my boots." Rocket Senior told him seeing him leaving but after his dad joined them for breakfast, Nebula noticed his boots were getting old asking if he should get an new pair of boots.
"Shoe shopping's a nightmare when you've got massive paws like mine." he told her making her grin.
