Awww she's so cute playing with baubles, only they have to go on the tree so we should distract her so she doesn't get upset when we use them, plus I want to make the holidays special for her, she deserves that as well as Santa breaking and entering to give us gifts along with eating the cookies Hulk made, those things are good.
"Why are you decorating a tree, won't that upset your tree friend." Ranger asked makijg Rocket sigh at his older brother, not understanding Terran holidays and their traditions seeing Casey trying to put the bauble in her mouth, so Rocket swiped it before anything happened.
"Sorry sweetie not everything is safe for your mouth, besides Ranger, it's for Christmas a holiday on this planet." he said seeing Casey nuzzling his furry leg but grabbing onto his tail.
"Owww, Casey sweetie please get off, daddy's tail ain't a snuggle pillow like what uncle Thor gave you." he said unaware this was amusing Ranger making Riley paw-palm entering.
Recently Casey was fixated not just with her own tail and snuggling it, she also loved her dad's tail snuggling it as much as she could which Thor and the others found cute but Rocket sighed, he knew Casey didn't know better, he wondered why she did it though.
"I have a thought on your dilemma, maybe it's for comfort." Riley told him.
"She snuggles her blankie and Groot stuffie, she doesnt need to snuggle my tail." Rocket said seeing Groot get Casey off his tail gently hearing her crying but calmed down after Groot rocked her gently.
"Yes but you're her dada, she wants you too and worries when you go on missions, you ever think of that." Riley replied.
He knew when he went on missions, Groot looked after his little girl guessing his sister might be right about why Casey was fixated with his tail, her way of getting comfort from him that he was okay feeling bad hearing her sniffling pointing atiny paw at him, especially his tail.
"Is that why you do it, because you worry about me." he said to her.
"Rocket, she can't talk yet or she might not."" Riley told him.
That statement made Rocket a little sad, he would love it if Casey could talk and anything was possible in the universe, why couldn't Casey do it.
"We'll just have to wait and see, Iknow you can do it." he told Casey who was back on his tail because it made his little girl happy.
Later that early evening, Rocket was drying Casey off after having a bath because she'd gotten cold while playing in the snow with him, like building her first snow-kit and making snowballs which Rocket had recorded but seeing her shivering from the cold of the snow had made him worry, so had wrappedher in his furry arms going back inside and had given her hot chocolate which she loved making him chuckle, including popping marshmallows into her mouth, putting some in his, which Kamala thought adorable.
He was also goijg on a date with his soulmate, Lylla Otter so he was getting Casey ready for sleepytime early seeing her hug him, placing a little paw on the top of his tail which was adding to soothing her and while Lylla was here, Groot was goijg to watch her knowing after the snow play and warm bath, she might go to sleepytown easy or he hoped so because he planned to introduce her to Lylla, just not now.
"Atta girl being calm while dada puts a diaper and jammies on you, plus he hasa friend coming over so uncle Groot is gonna hang with you, but dada will put you to bed when it's sleepytime." he told her knowing she understood him of sorts.
