She was already leaping before he could finish the sentence, one foot outstretched in a flying kick that was intended to knock the apparent intruder back onto his rear. While Webby was typically unfailingly happy to meet a potential new friend, she also took her self-assigned duty as protector of the McDuck home and secrets very seriously.
