[oakay]

[The little tree thing happily waves now he has the attention.

Hello, person. He is lost and his friends aren't here, he would like you to kindly offer him a ride around the mansion to find them.]

I am Groot? [There's a bounce.] I am Groot.

[cranston]

[ Ok, didn't they just go over this? ]

Yeah, I'm Billy. Do you know where you're trying to go? I could probably take you there.

[oakay]

[Well, duh, you dumb asshole! What part of 'I am Groot' are you not getting here? He bounces more insistently now and holds his hands up.

To help the person along, vines slowly start to spread out, intent on making contact so he could pull himself up. When words fail, actions always help.]

[cranston]

[ Rude. If Billy had any idea what the little tree guy was thinking, he'd be offended. But Groot's thinking is right; actions are better than words in this instance. ]

Oh, okay. [ Billy reaches down and picks up the little guy carefully, holding him up to eye level. ]

So, where to?

[oakay]

[Clambering his way up the Billy person, he latches around his upper arm and points onward. He's not sure where he's going but if they are going and not staying then odds are, they will find more things.]

I am Groot. [He clings to the fabric of the shirt and -- Oooh. Soft. Nice. Do you use fabric softener? He would like to keep this shirt when you're done being his ride. He nuzzles it lightly.] I am Groot.

[cranston]

[ Billy's a smart kid. He's starting to figure things out. Things like, "this tree guy can't actually say anything besides his own name." So, without asking any more questions, he starts walking in the direction Groot pointed. ]

I was on my way out to the garden. I don't know if that's where you wanna go, but... I'm just gonna head in that direction and you can stop me if you want me to turn or something.

[ Moving slowly, so as not to dislodge the passenger on his arm, Billy heads down towards the doors leading outside. ]

[oakay]

[Nod. Nod. Nod.

Outside is good. He likes outside. If they can't find his team-mates then at least they can chase squirrels. That's always a fun thing to do, birds too. He turns to his ride and frowns in a curious manner, intending to ask if he also enjoys chasing small rodents.] I am Groot? [Would you care to partake in some squirrel harassment, dear friend?]

[cranston]

[ Sadly, Billy doesn't get the nuances of every individual "I am Groot," so he thinks Groot is asking a completely different question. Something more along the lines of, "why are you going out to the garden?" ]

I need to get some lettuce for my pet turtle. I could probably find some in the kitchen, but I think fresh is better. Right?

[oakay]

[Turtle? Ah yes, a shell goblin. He could kick your shell goblin's ass. Clearly Billy needs to just feed Groot that lettuce. He likes lettuce. If Lettuce is popcorn. And he's pretty sure those two are one in the same. Right?] I am Groot.

[He points at himself. He is better, you should be looking to feed him.]

[cranston]

Yeah, I know.

[ He's pretty sure Groot's doing more than just telling Billy his name, but he doesn't really know what else to say when he doesn't know what it is he's really saying. ]

You can meet my turtle if you want. His name is Zack the turtle.

[oakay]

[Zack? Groot would like to defeat this Zack and claim his shell to give as a trophy. And his lettuce. Groot nods his head in agreement.] I am Groot.

[He climbs up his arm and finally sets himself on the shoulder, looking eagerly ahead. His ride seems like a nice enough guy, he hopes he too will be impressed when he defeats his shell goblin.]

[cranston]

[ Having Groot on his shoulder is a little more comfortable than having him holding onto his arm, so Billy walks a little faster and they make their way out to the garden. Once there, he carefully picks Groot up and sets him down on the grass while he kneels down to start picking some lettuce. ]

So are you like, an alien? ...Say "I am Groot" once for yes and twice for no.

[oakay]

[Hmm, was he an alien? He looks down at himself, at his hands, considers it all for a moment and then looks at Billy with a small nod of his head.] I am Groot.

[Wandering along, he inspects a rather pretty looking flower not far away before biting the head off it and chewing it slowly, looking at Billy thoughtfully. What was he picking? Was that the lettuce? It didn't look like popcorn. Groot points at it.] I am Groot.

[cranston]

Cool. That's cool. [ Billy has met aliens before, but he's not allowed to say that so he won't. Though the other aliens he met could say more stuff than just their names. Maybe if there was an alien that was a sort of middle ground between the little Groot says and the nonstop chattering of Alpha, Billy thinks that'd be cool.

He looks up from the lettuce to see Groot pointing. ]

This? This is the lettuce for Zack the turtle. Do you want some? [ He holds out a head for Groot to take if he wants. ]

[oakay]

[Groot nods his head and uses his vines to envelop the lettuce and pull it in towards him. He sets it on the ground and eyes it curiously. He bites a giant chunk out of it and chews thoughtfully. It's not popcorn nor as good as popcorn but he likes it a lot. He clearly must take over this lettuce patch to stop Zack, the shell goblin, from stealing off of his new food.]

I am Groot!

[He gives his ride a thumbs up and grins.]

[cranston]

[ Looks like he likes it! Billy picks a few more heads of lettuce and goes to go pick up Groot for the walk back to his room. ]

Alright, buddy, hold on tight.

[ With Groot settled on his shoulder and the lettuce in hand, he'll make his way back up to the mansion. ]

[oakay]

[Groot reclaims his proud spot on Billy's shoulder and beams at him, holding his lettuce and curious where they are going now. He hasn't found any of his team-mates but he has found a worthy ride. One that had good food.]

I am Groot!

[He pets Billy's cheek. There, you now know you are a good ride, friend.]
