Rocket pretends to think about it. "Oh, sure, I can keep a secret." He often doesn't, but he can. Depends on if there might be payoff later, and how much he feels he can wait that long.
Besides, it's nice to see her smile a little when she's not faking it for morale.
And it helps to lighten the mood a little when she's coming out with stuff like that. Serious talk, veiled as it is with prettier words that make things sound better. More normal. Or what used to be normal, anyway. "No problem. I was gettin' tired of canned beans and peanutbutter anyway," he says, shrugging casually, though by now he's spent enough time in her company for her to read him better than to take that at face value. It's part of how he copes, pretending to hold that sort of sentiment at a distance, not always admitting that it matters to him too. They're all he's got, now.
Like the lady says, they're all still alive, so it's time to find somethin' good to do with themselves instead of just surviving. No matter whether Rogers is appreciative or not, Rocket sure as hell will be. It's been a good day, playing delivery truck service. Headin' home with a full load of food is bound to raise everybody's spirits, even if they've gotta wait for the main event before they can dig in.
