"Eheheh, really? They're always running to you, though." Nanoha wanted to raise independent children in a way that she couldn't be as a noble lady, but she was always worried that she went a bit too far. Luckily for her, Fate was nearby to keep things from getting out of hand.

"The way you pamper these kids, it's hard to imagine you as the mighty fighter that you are!" Now, if Fate was left alone with the children, she'd probably spoil them rotten. Nanoha had a feeling that there was a story behind it, but she didn't want to pry right now. If Fate ever wanted to say anything, she would do it on her own time, or at least when they had gotten to know each other better.
