"Here Rocket-chan let me help you with chopsticks as I use them a lot in Japan, plus it's okay to slurp your ramen. It's good manners in Japan plus feeling a bit better." Rocke said to Rocket. It was early evening on Knowhere and both Rocke and Rocket were in a Japanese resturant and were eating ramen because Rocket was curious about Japanese food just not wild about sushi but ramen sounded good.
"That's good as Herbert taught me table manners and that it's bad to slurp butif you say it'sgood manners, then okay." Rocket said slurping making Rocke giggle drinking sake which was music to Rocket'sfurry ears as seeing him sad earlier had upset him and made his heart hurt.
"Mmmmmm, this ramen stuff's so good." Rocket said inbetween slurps.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it Rocket. Thanks for helping me feel better. I should tell Piper that I get lonely, I just don't want her to feel bad." he told Rocket which Rocket got.
"She lavas you like I do, she needs to know." he replied seeing Rocke nod.
"Good thinking buddy, and she'll understand." he told him seeing him nodding.
Piper was relieved seeing Rocke back, after she'd put Juniper and John to bed hearing him telling her how sometimes he felt lonely when she was working with Dazzler making the female-porcupine understanding hugging him. "Ohhhh Rocke you should have told me, how you were feeling." she said to him. "Because you're working and bringing in the money so I couldn't tell you and you worrying. But Rocket told me I shouldn't hide my feelings." he told her.
"Ohhhhh Rocke, that's good he told you this as I was concerned about you." she said to him.
He nodded yawning, getting ready for bed tired noticing Piper was just as tired getting into bed drifting off into sleep with a smile on his face relieving her. She knew he got lonely when she worked for Dazzler so happy that Rocket was helping him with his feelings like his loneliness so let him be drifting off into sleep herself but that next morning, she saw Rocke was still sleeping leaving him be as waking him up would bea bad idea or having to deal with a cranky Rocke leaving him be making her and the kits breakfast. "Daddy's sleeping in as he had a lot of fun with uncle Rockie yesterday." she to,d Juniper and John as they were eating cereal and drinking juice.
"Okay, mommy, but you okay." Juniper said to her seeingher nodding.
