She paused to take a photo of a cluster of calla lilies and then turned back to Anna-Kat. "Yes, I see," she said. "That's good. Less to have to fix, right?" She thought it was particularly inspired for someone who could do what Anna-Kat could do to work at a florist's. Too bad there wasn't any kind of career to be had from phasing through things.
