She was an idiot. Gilda felt like she wanted to go curl up in a corner and shrink into nothing. Of course that wouldn't help anything but the thought made Gilda feel better in some weird way that she couldn't explain. Still, hiding did seem like a viable option at the moment. Gilda bet she could barrel down that door and plunge down to the ground to hide. The surprise might stall Fleetfoot enough to let Gilda get away.
While Gilda actually did consider that it wasn't really an option. There was no way she was leaving until she had to, no matter how much of a foal she made of herself....erm...chick she made of herself? Cub? That would have to be thought about later on.
Gilda froze as some of her worse fears were confirmed. Fleetfoot could see right through her. She was scar-....concerned about any of what Fleet was saying might be true. As Fleet spoke Gilda still hadn't looked up from her talons but decided she might as well slowly nod in confirmation that she was afraid of...all that. She didn't have an answer for Fleetfoot's question though. She was really hoping it was rhetorical.
Then things started looking up and so did she. She swore her ears were broken for a moment. This waaay to good to be true. At the same time she was loving it. That choked up feeling that had been creeping into her throat vanished. She was absolutely ecstatic. Fleetfoot, the Fleetfoot had just said she wanted to be...friends? Gilda wasn't sure anyone had actually asked her that before. She had just passively become friends with Dash and hadn't really tried to make all too many other friends.
Her mind was blank for a moment. She felt like she could cry(key word being 'could'). "Y-you're serious...no joshin' me?" Gilda almost wished she wasn't in here so she could start flying. "Oh...Oh my gosh and help with my flying?! I could hug you if you weren't all messed up. Thank you so much Fleetfoot. I promise I won't let you down, ever." her wings were half extended and slowly working themselves in circles. She couldn't help it!!! She swore she had never ever been this happy!
"Like....I...Uh..." Ugh, she was acting like a cub. She took a deep breath and did her best to calm down and relax a little. She even managed to get her wings onto her sides. "I-is there something I should do? You sure you don't need anything? Are you sure you- oh forget it. You're stuck with me now." she said, trying to make a joke. She wasn't sure how funny it was....sounded sorta creepy after she said it. "N-not...literally of course...but please don't take that back. I can't even explain how cool this is. It's...the best! I so owe you...I mean, we're friends now" she tried to keep her smile under control, at least a little. She failed. "But still!!! I swear I'll be the best ...friend ...student griffon ever!"
