If Yondu is good at it, it's likely that he's good at it when he isn't actually trying to do it, or that's what it feels like. Considering talking sense into Peter Quill or communicating with him in a way that wasn't wantin' to strangle the shit out of him was a monumental effort.
He did love the boy but he was definitely not father of the year.
Still, he'd be glad to know that he had a motivating impact. He won't say positive. He likes Crowley too much to insult him with the word positive. But motivating? That can work too. And if anything, after Crowley showed him the first kindnesses he'd had in a long time since he showed up? Pity or temptations or fits of misplaced caring or whatever it was, he'd want to know he gave something worthwhile back to him.
"Guess I should try talkin' to 'em... Some of 'em are bein' bigget bastards than some of my old crew. That's a real high bar to leap." Some of them are doin' pretty decent, though. A good starting point. Maybe Crowley's just right in that he needs to get their help as much as he's trying to strangle the cooperation out of 'em.
