Mercedes Lackey Quote

She decided at that moment that she wanted Gina for a friend... if Gina wasn't already a friend.She rather hoped that the Champion was. The more she thought about it, the more she hoped. Really, Gina had been very nice to someone that she'd had no real reason to like. After all, if it wasn't for Andie, where would she be now?'On some other uncomfortable Quest?'Well, maybe. Or maybe still at the Chapter-House.And Andie was the one who had thrust herself on a reluctant Gina. The Champion had no reason to be happy about that.'But she said herself that having me along made getting around the countryside easier.'Still, when it came right down to it, Andie had been an inconvenience. Yet Gina had never made things uncomfortable for Andie. And once she'd been revealed as being another girl-'I'd really like her for a friend.' She looked around at the other young women clustered about the makeshift table, which looked as if someone had taken a slab of the fallen stone of the fortress walls and set it on four stumpy columns.Actually, someone probably had- that someone being one of the dragons.'I'd like to have all of them for friends,' she found herself deciding in surprise. Uncommon trial and hardship, danger and uncertainty had brought them together, but they were making the most of it, and even seemed to be finding ways to enjoy themselves. They'd come to some sort of understanding, it seemed, because she honestly couldn't tell any differences of rank among them by the way they behaved toward one another.
