Oh...?

[A bad puppy? Mantis furrows her brow slightly, abject confusion reflected in those big buggy Bambi eyes.]

Do you mean that he bites you? Or that pees on things he should not?

[Look, she is very concerned about this, Rose is a nice persoon and deserves a boyfriend who won't do these things!]

[She relaxes significantly once Rose says that she'll show Mantis how to do it. She's never been to a restaurant before. She's never been served food either. Ego always just made it appear, and on Starlord's ship they just eat those silver packs more often than not.]

I am not food.

[Mantis laughs a little as she says this and looks thoroughly entertained by the very thought that something might consider her this. How silly! But oh, another empath? Mantis has never met one before, and she's intrigued.]

I have always been able to control my abilities. I think it is a natural phenomenon for my kind.

[They were all dead, though, so she doesn't have anyone to ask for sure.]

How do they eat emotions? Do they lack emotions of their own?
