Nanoha had always been able to read Fate like a book. So when the two of them had met up in the hotel (formerly claimed by the Outsiders) for a small meal that Nanoha had cooked herself, it didn't take long for the mage to realize that something was amiss with her best friend. There was something bothering her immensely, radiating off of her so strongly it was almost palpable.

Of course, she waited until they'd retired to their bedroom to say something, since she got the feeling this was something best done in private.

"Fate-chan, what's bugging you?"
