Her response confused him. "Zayoberry? ...I probably just slaughtered that," he concluded with a sheepish look. "Is that not where you're from?" Hopefully he had opened the door for Gamora to explain. Trip was raised between both sides of the states and never felt he really belonged anywhere. Except on Earth. He'd definitely say he was from the planet Earth. One of his favorite things about being a SHIELD agent (second only to beating the bad guys) was the traveling around the world.

He couldn't help but smirk when she called him less offensive than her crew member. He really would have to thank the guy if he ever met him. "I won't worry as long as you promise to let me know if I've said or done something wrong. Which I have a feeling you'll have no problem doing," he said with a playful grin. The expression was meant to be friendly. She had a little insight of his ability to assess a situation. Maybe he was wrong but he doubted it.

If he was wrong, Trip had no problem being corrected. There was little that got under his skin. Unless he was dealing with liars and traitors. He had no compassion for anyone who betrayed his agency or the people he cared about.
