Gamora and Melinda
A tree person wasn't the strangest thing Melinda had ever seen, so she wasn't even fazed by learning this about him. She did understand sacrifice, though. "He sounds like a teammate I'd like to have. That kind of loyalty is important. I hope, too, that you get to continue to be a part of it."
She wouldn't be alone that way.
"I think I'm going to check in with Phil over there," she said. "Maybe we can talk again sometime."
Melinda still felt like the two of them were similar in many ways. Gamora was definitely someone she wouldn't mind talking to again.
