She nodded. She hadn't been looking for siblings either. But it still happened.
"Huh. That's...kind of a...decision you made." Wildly swinging one way or the other, but one nonetheless. She stopped, and gestured to a vividly pink bush of flowers. "Is this what you're picturing Ulla? For your colors?"
"Not a decision I expected to, though." She ambushed herself with
feelings.
"Probably, although I'd like a variety to choose from. Uncle Istra
requested bright colors, but I'm sure he'll have more specific opinions.
Papa declined to state an opinion on the clothes, he'll wear whatever we
decide."
"To be fair, Uncles tend to creep on me. I didn't expect Corvo- who told me he was attacking people when he arrived- to adopt me and spoil me rotten at his home."
She wanted to see him again. It would be fun to see him, Jamie, and Emily again.
"Then we'll take a few of these, and we'll get a few more flowers around here." She told Ulla, before bringing out a pair of garden scissors. "Let's get started."
Ulla frowns. "Corvo killed my inmate when he arrived. It was the last
straw for me as the monitor of unpaired inmates. It broke something in me,
and I had to hand that responsibility to someone else after. I didn't
trust myself to keep being kind or fair to people who hurt those who matter
most to me."
She shakes her head, because that's an old hurt that probably wasn't worth
opening up again. She wouldn't have, if Aerith hadn't outright mentioned
the attacks. She'll follow Aerith's lead toward the flowers instead.
Belatedly, she adds, "But I'm glad he was good to you." Because Aerith deserves that.
"No, that's...understandable. I didn't expect for us to get along so well, after he admitted to the...spree. And why."
She shook her head. "I would struggle with that too, in your position. Being kind is...sometimes the hardest thing to be."
Something she felt the reminder of whenever she thought of a certain silver haired person on board. Ahem. She snipped a few flowers, before clearing her throat.
"He was. Anyway- maybe you might like...to see some of the sweet peas maybe? Or the other flowers I mentioned before?"
