Sixth [Action/Accidental Video]

[Like the others, Fate has no idea the Vine is recording her as she sings. She's currently in the Orchards, helping pick a variety of food for her and her friends' dinner tonight, and she just happened to brush against the Vine as she set a few things into a basket she had taken along with her.]

Haruka sora hibiiteiru inori ha kiseki ni...

[Not everyone will be able to understand the song, but hey, she's not singing with other people in mind.

It's slower, a bit softer than normal, but the emotion is still behind it, and the warm smile on Fate's face shows that she definitely means what she's singing. Also, that is exactly what her singing voice sounds like.]

mayanaka no aoi ni todokete nagareteku namida no tsubu
mayoinaku tsutsumikomu nukumori ni deatta
masshiro na yuki no you ni doko mademo sunao na kotoba
tetsu no hane matotta boku wo ugokashiteku...

[And she'll continue singing until someone calls out to her on the Vine, or if anyone nearby approaches her.]

It's nostalgic, somehow. Or maybe I'm just oddly nostalgic today. For once I think I miss peaceful spending time with everyone as much as most of the rest of you do.

It seems like ages since things have truly been peaceful, hasn't it? [Fate sighs.] Even here, things don't stay calm for long.

At least most of us are together. Were I greedy I'd ask for Zafira and Shamal and maybe even the rookies--

[When you're as old as Signum, anyone with less than a decade of experience is a rookie]

--but I have to say, if I had to be stuck somewhere, I'm at least glad to be stuck somewhere with you, Hayate, Nanoha, and Vita.

[She catches herself, suddenly realizing something feels off.]

I'm being maudlin today, aren't I?

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

A bit. [She laughs this time.] It's nice, though. Sometimes you can be a bit too serious, Signum.

Someone has to be, and I'd rather it be me instead of you.
