I am Groot

He smiles at that.  “B !”  He exclaims.  To the giant tree being it’s the best thing in the world since it means he can eventually (may be not) speak and impress Rocket.

He just nods his head.  One of his branch hands holds onto Akira’s as he nudges him forward.  He doesn’t want to do this alone but he doesn’t want to get Rocker involved and have it not work

“B?”  Surprisingly that’s the only thing that he can say other than I am Groot

He tries to call her Bev.  His mouth open but with his vocal cords he can only say.  “I am Groot.”  (I can’t say it.”  He looks sad and says.  “I.  . .can’t…speak…normal.”  

            “oh, that’s okay, you can say b? that can always work” she said, looking at him with a kind smile on her lips.

He looks to it then to Akira.  “Maybe…I…find…home…and…do…things…right.”  He says then motions to the portal.  If he can go to the Guardians from here then he can go home with Rocket

He smiles knowing it helped.  “I am Groot.”  He says, probably the only time I am Groot will make sense.  

“Do…you…want…portals?”  He meant it as go into the portals.  He really doesn’t want to but if he goes in and ends up back with the other Guardians, then he and Rocket can leave !  He could do something and not be called stupid over it.  

“I am cautious of it, but if you want to go yourself then I will go with you.” Akira grinned, nodding his head as if he would reassure himself. “I’ll keep you safe out there.” Of course, he wanted to go back home to Ryuji, Ann and the others. Heck, he was even missing Morgana’s wise-cracks. Maybe if he slipped through the cracks, all of them could break through and save them. As their leader, he had to get back somehow.

He shakes his head no and shows…”Just…me…and…Rocket…my. . friend”  

                “oh so your friend is also here, uh?”

He smiles at her smile and nods and shows her the words.  “Happy…offering.” He’s trying to say that it’s help her be a little happier but all he knows is happy and offering.  

           "well, this helps me to not be nervous so i appreciate it” she said with a small smile “can i know your name?”

Groot finds a flower and hands it to her, hoping it can help ease her a little bit.  

            she looked at him and smiled a bit, taking that flower “thank you, i love flowers”

He shakes his head no at that.  He forgot what he was told was the reason.  

         "well, thanks, i guess….”

Again he points to.  “Is…that…bad ?”  

“Oh no, certainly not. You’re the first being in a while that hasn’t tried to rip my head off which is always a good thing.” She jested with a soft laugh to reassure him.

He awkwardly scratches at the back of his twig like head and points to the words.  “I…get…that…a…lot.”  

Peeking at the words, she realised he mainly talked through written word. “I’m not surprised. I’ve seen a lot of different beings in my time, but you’re certainly a first for me.”
