After Nozomi cleanses her Soul Gem, Kyoko sticks around the area instead of asking Yondu to take her back to base camp just yet. She knows there were others who said they were on their way, or who might show up to check on her, so...
It feels awkward. Really awkward. She doesn't know how to handle strangers being worried about her. She doesn't want pity, but -- They offered to help, too. And didn't sound like they were looking down on her when they talked on the SCA. And... Talking to them until Yondu found her, it -- She'll... admit that... it made a difference. It gave her something else to think about besides all the bad thoughts swirling through her head, persistent and heavy and trying to drag her under.
She's still seated on the same tree stump, her injured leg in its makeshift splint, and she's working on some of the food she still has left over from the team care package.
