"Arkeans fit..." He comments idly, rubbing the back of his head 'cause he kind of remembers Krugarr using this kind of psychic discussion. It hits a familiar point he'd forgotten how to listen with.

"Centauri. Well, Centauri IV. It's what other people call it, what it gets translated as. It ain't the people's name for it but that's a little rougher to pronounce." Centaurian is mostly grunts, whistles, and clicks. When it's translated it's often filled with vowels that are the best guess for throat vocals and "w"s at best for the whistling. Yaka. Kruna. Even Yondu's own name are all twists from the actual tongue of the place.

But he's spoken with his throat since he was a baby, and the language he's made for doesn't visit his mouth as often as it should. Mostly to command his arrow.

"Dependin' on how similar your world is to Terra, if I could see the constellations I could point out the star it runs 'round."
