— helping to pull it through the rotation with a surprisingly powerful 𝘵𝘶𝘨, coming away to give Quill the opportunity to reset the wrench.

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

In his shortened form, Groot was able to get a little closer - almost intimate in proximity as he hung from Quill's shoulder.

"I am 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵."

Matter-of-factly, as though he had recently had an epiphany. All the while, long, strong vines extended to grasp at the wrench, —

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

I am Groot.

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

As the water washed over him, Groot extended his arms - a mist surrounding him that settled pleasantly on his body.

"I am Groot." He nodded appreciatively, before curiosity turned to the plants.

Moving towards their planters, he pulled himself up to look in. "I am Groot?"

"I am Groot!"

— his memories where he might have seen that shape before.

[ This is a familiar design, but I do not know why. ]

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

Groot reached slowly towards the Omnitrix, wooden hands resting over the device as he hummed quietly to himself.

[ This is a very clever watch. I was not aware Terrans could make something like this. ]

Groot's head tilted slightly as he admired the pattern, trying to find in —

“Huh? What do you mean? Are you saying other people can’t understand you?”

Ben was just as surprised as Groot.

Omnitrix: <𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗣.>

“Universal Translator? Since when did you have that?!”

Omnitrix: <𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗣.>

“Always?! Seriously you’re gonna have to run me through all your—

At the back of the ship, it was a certainty that the empath [@IdolOfTheCosmos] can be found. Despite her ability to kick chins without leaning back, he enjoys her company. She seems to understand people.

"I am Groot!"

"I am Groot!"

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐑. @surfingherald]

“And I am Norrin.”

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

A hand came against his face, brow furrowing in thought as he considered it. His friends had let him rest - but now he was awake. Was it fair to crowd them immediately? Or did they need time.

"I am Groot."

Profound in his observations. He turned to Quill. "I am? Groot?"

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

"I am Groot."

A nod as he steps around the cabin, unsure of what to do with himself. The Flora opts to climb into a chair at the front, pointing out into the stars.

"I am Groot?"

[Gʀᴏᴏᴛ @ColossalFlora]

"I, am Groot!"

Groot blinked several times as the response came so...suddenly. No charades, no gesturing, no drawing it out.

[ You... understand me? Already? ]

[𝐵𝑒𝑛 𝑇𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑦𝑠𝑜𝑛 @OmnitrixHero10]

The watch Groot looked at glowed a little bit as it was activating it’s universal translator for Ben to understand him.

“My watch? It’s called the Omnitrix.”

For the boy, it seemed like Flora was speaking in plain English though would the alien find this surprising.

Those beady little eyes have focused in on the marks around the man's face. These appear to be very, very interesting.
