This is the sentient lifeform who tried to talk Groot out of his moment of self-sacrifice, despite the fact that it was either Groot or probably everyone on the ship. (Okay, not even probably. They would have died. Xandar would have died. Everyone in the galaxy would have eventually died.)

However, this is also the sentient lifeform who fled Half-World the first chance he got and left a lot of people behind. And would have abandoned his other friends to go find a quiet place to wait out the death of everything. Being a selfish pragmatist makes one very, very unromantic.

"No, I'd have faith that the other person knows what they're doing and hope we both end up alive at the end of it."
