That Natsu and/or Lucy believe it would be enough to serve that purpose, even if it's a lie.

@FTGM: Oh right, something like that happened in Bleach. I forgot about that already... though there it happened in a way that should never have affected Ichigo in any way other than making him angry. It was just so terribly obvious that this wasn't his real mother that she should never have had any trouble stabbing through "her".
