"I'll be in the Lab most the time anyway. I got stuff to do." He's got that beacon to make for Yondu, which meant taking his broom apart to do so. Plus maybe some of his tools apart for last minute builds that need the materials within them. "Just leave it on my table if I'm not in there."

Ok, sorted, a little drop of his head, almost a nod, before shuffling out the doorway.
