[Girdershade]

Swift nearly moved to slip out of the house just as Fizz started running for the door, but Fleetwing's interception piqued her interest enough to stay. Throughout the rest of the conversation, a wry grin stretched across her face as she heard Fleetwing's words.

The pegasus was not the most eloquent speaker ever, the most educated, or even the most creative. However, he was honest, and didn't attempt to manipulate Fizz to his own ends. He gave a more or less unbiased account of the situation (if not one accounting for alternative lifestyles ) and armed Fizz with a less naive worldview.

Pleasing, indeed. Naive innocence lost may sound like a bad thing, but if it saves her from much worse it might be a good thing after all. Fleetwing has definitely earned Swift's respect, at this point. Perhaps she would not yet volunteer her (literally) undying loyalty, but there's a foothold now. Fleetwing is kind without being coddling, a virtue rarely seen in the Equestrian Wasteland.


In any case, as the group exits, Swift continues smiling until Bucky makes things awkward.

[Sneak] It is a subtle move that might not be easily noticed, but the Ghoul places herself near enough to Bucky that she could strike his weapon with a hoof, should the need arise...
