Description "In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder,
Hair falling forward, mouth all askew.
Fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead:
"Passengers missing, we're looking for you."
And she dreams through the noise, her weight against me,
Face pressed into the corduroy grooves."

- Vienna Teng, "Recessional"

For a long time now, I've been wanting to draw the image in my head whenever I listened to this song. Fate's (possible) feelings for Nanoha, I thought, would fit perfectly for this.

Unfortunately, I'm not very happy with the background. Might (or might not) fix it sometime in the future. -_-

Anyway, enjoy.

Edit:
Uploaded a better version where the seats were treated with some Ruben-magic. Thanks ~rubendevela , for letting me use it. (if you didn't notice, he washed it with some orange-y light)
