Nothing life-threatening, okay. Rocket relaxes just a smidge when she confirms that, not that she'd sounded frantic or anything. Fully expecting to hear that there's some last-minute courier thing she needs him for, he's not expecting the curveball she throws at him shortly thereafter.
"Wait. This is about a birthday?" It's on the tip of his tongue to say something cutting about this, taking their time out from the endless work that Thanos stuck them all with, but he closes his mouth before any of it comes out.
Yeah, it's frivolous and Rocket kinda doubts that Steve would be wanting a shindig if they didn't bring it up first. Maybe even if they do. But fuck it. They've all been working for weeks now, and there's only so much despair and heartbreak they can all collectively take at once. A little breather won't hurt. Especially when they've had so damn little to celebrate lately.
"You know, that ain't a bad idea. Where d'you need me?"
