Rarely is Yondu enthusiastic about something, but he is about that. Getting it right, finally, was something that he needed. He hadn't needed to protect T'Challa in the same ways he protected Peter (for one thing, he could leave Peter on Earth 'cause apparently without his help his idiot crew couldn't recognize him somehow).
But he sees how exhausted T'Challa is and tempers that. "Don't do too many in a row," he tells him. "Take a break, I flat out passed out after the mission where I did too much runnin'. Keeled clean over. I don't doubt you're capable but... I dunno. Who the hell knows if some never-before-seen void worm attacks and a bunch of us are down for the count."
He might not be his Yondu, but that protectiveness and concern kicks in, almost predictably. He hadn't talked to many people about what he found out about T'challa, still wrapping his head around it (also not knowing whether it was fair to the man). But at the very least he's another Ravager, and some other version of him put forth the effort to leave a little bit of whatever decency he had with the boy.
