As they made their way through the darkness, Goldie kept asking the tall black female for directions, which was exactly what Marionette was doing. Every few minutes, she'd tell them something regarding where the others were, both her and the golden bear being in the lead. Chica was following behind, while Freddy was at the tail of the group, keeping an eye out for anything that would be considered threatening. 

Eventually, the bear's head pivoted over to the chicken, a thought making him increase his pace and walk along with her. He didn't say anything though, just twitched an ear.

Chica, however, noticed him, turning her head towards him, though she kept walking. There was a strange emotion written all over the bear's face, forcing her to finally question, "What's the matter? You seem quiet."

Hearing her voice, Freddy gave an unexpected response by cringing and bringing a hand to his head, and after a slight shake, his gaze hovered to her, a small wire on his arm emitting a little spark as he did so.

"Just wanted to thank you for ..." He sighed, thinking of the right way to word it out. "Well ... supporting me back there." 

Just as he finished, the chicken burst into light chuckles, her way of laughing being a bit hilarious, but unique in its own way, something sending another flustered sensation in the bear's mind.

"What?" He asked, looking away from her as his ear twitched. Smacking himself lightly, he attempted to shut the random buzzing in his head, that had only begun at the moment he started talking with the female. 

Noticing the other's 'uneasiness', the chicken stopped chuckling and instead started to walk a little faster, all while mumbling a "You are very aware that you were handling the situation quite well, I just stated a fact." to the bear. 

Hearing that, Freddy also increased his speed in the slightest. "I know that, but I was being thankful."

"Is there a need to thank me?" Came the female's question, her loose jaw bouncing to the side a little, which she adjusted afterward. "I did what a best friend would do." 

Her words left him dumbfounded, forcing him to stop. "Best friend?"

Scoffing softly, the dusty-yellow animatronic also stopped to look at him, both their eyes meeting for the tiniest second. "Yeah, we are best friends, right? I just did my part."

With that, she continued walking after the two other animatronics, the bear taking a moment to process what had just happened, before moving forward as well.

At one point, Marionette stopped, a hand still on her head as she was trying to find where the others were, Gold looked at her in a quizzical manner. "Found a clue? Let's teleport."
