The bandages on the girl on the left suggest that there's more to this story than meets the eye. Perhaps she had an accident, but wasn't too hurt, and they're both crying tears of relief? That's the most optimistic scenario I can imagine, at least.
Nanoha using 'befriending' as an umbrella term to describe her lesbian activities would actually make much more sense in a conservative medieval setting.
We started with Bardiche, went to Cardiche and now arrive at Horcediche... sorrynotsorry.
Anyway, more NanoFate is always welcome, specially at the start of the year.
This one is still one of my favorite NanoFate pictures of all time, it's beautiful.
@V-Oblivion: alternatively there are a couple of images of Fate riding dragon-diche, and speaking of horses there's also an image of little Vivio getting a pony-ride from her Fate-mama.
