[ He is silent for a moment, trying to assimilate what happened and why is Minimus so angry. Frankly, he would be just as pissed off if he were in the bot's skin. Metal skin. Uh, whatever applies. He frowns visibly, lips pursing when Minimus blames himself. ]

Ey no, none of that. Other people's mistakes are not your fault.

[ Peter is a jealous person. He is not proud of the fact, but he is aware that it is a bad trait he has. He also knows that the reason he got so annoyed when Gamora looked at other people, or when others showed interest in her, was that he wouldn't know what to do if she wasn't part of his life. Being loyal to your partner  means a lot to him, but he also understands what it's like to be alone, to think that you'll never get to see your loved ones. When loneliness and pain claw at your chest and make an empty hole to crawl into and stay there. It never ends well. ]

I'm not sure how relationships are for you, guys, with your long lives, but I figure it's not that much different from any other sentient creature. We're not so different. [ The guardian starts, his voice conciliatory and a little careful, but honest. ]  Admittedly, I don't know Megatron and Drift as well as I would like, but I know they have a complicated past together. They might have felt really lonely on this ship, with no one else they knew or trusted around, and not knowing it that would ever change. 

[ Peter reaches out to touch the holoform cheek, to try and get her to look at him. ]

I'm not trying to excuse them, they should have talked to you about it when you got here. You have all the right to be furious and to never speak to them again if you don't want. I'm just trying to say that broken-hearted people would try anything to make the hurt go away. Even if it's only temporary, even if causes bigger problems in the long run. We shouldn't judge others by their lowest points, but by how they answer to their mistakes.
