Who: Fate, Nanoha
What: Concern for a Loved One
When: April 13th, afternoon
Where: Royal Base, medical ward
Fate entered Nanoha's room in the hospital ward, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Nanoha," she said, with a small smile. "Yoshino sent you these. Would you like me to find a vase and some water...?"
... To be honest, there was a lot weighing on Fate's mind. Since they'd left for the ordeal in the Dark Area, there had been a flurry of activity and complex thoughts that seized Fate's attention. The outcome of what had happened, both in an immediate sense, and as far as broader events, was unclear.
But... that hadn't been what Fate had focused on. Nanoha had come back from the mission seriously injured, both as a result of using her limit break and the injuries she'd suffered while fighting Starscream. Fate hadn't made it out very well herself... after flying Nanoha to safety on all but extinguised magical power, she'd collapsed and been out cold for an entire day.
Since awakening, and being given a mostly clean bill of health, though, she had not left Nanoha's side.
She had to be there. This was where Fate belonged.
... And, she knew, there was something she had to do. To say.
