Hey, that tickles. [ he laughs a little. he tries to pocket his phone where his cassette player is, but upon realising there's really no room in his pocket and that the weight of cassette player and wonderland device is going to be heavy, he tosses it over his shoulder. groot's is gone, so maybe his should be, too. those things aren't important anymore, right? ]

[ turning his head, peter looks at him from the corner of his eye. he lifts a hand in case groot's going to fall forward. he frowns once he realises what's gotten groot so worried. ] If anyone steps on you, they have to deal with me. No one's stepping on Groot. I'll throw them up the rabbit hole or even behead them myself!

[ okay, he may forgo the beheading, but no one's allowed to step on groot. ] Has anyone stepped on you? I want names, Groot. I'll go step on them!
