Taylor offers to take the beautiful dessert, leading Ulla towards the back of the greenhouse, to the quiet corner where the hives are surrounded by flowers. Because if she's holding something, her hands won't shake. She can't even send her nervous jitters out into the bees - Ulla knows her well enough she'd know something was up from the change of their sound. And besides, she wants to feel this entire afternoon.

She's in her blue dress today, her special dress, with the butterfly jewelry that Rags and Kiryu gave her. She has a closet-full of delicate, impossible gowns sung for her, but this dress is what she wears when she wants to feel her family with her. And this dress has a pocket. Very important.

She's spread a picnic blanket among the flowers, with a tray for a table, comfortable cushions, and the sorts of snacks they both like. The sort of date picnic they've had before, but Taylor's put so much nervous attention into each detail.
