We followed Tag and Sig through the Honey Gate and walked out into the glowing blue sea of flowers. Talli noticed us come inside, and she came running over to me.
"Ashia! Good timing; everyone was just about to start getting ready to harvest! Now we can get a bumper crop with you here!" Talli said with excitement.
"Oh? Last time you were running out of room to hold Nectar, but I guess that means that the Trolls are making good progress?" I asked.
"No, they haven't started yet, but Pixie was just here showing off her evolution to me. Looks pretty nice, and I think that the new Meca-Nectar that she can create is really interesting!" Talli said with excitement, but I could see where she was going with this, so I pulled up her Evolutionary Menu.
[Evolution] Activated!

{Meca Nectarist}
Talli flashed with light, and she began to change, and her uniform turned into a flowing white dress with golden flower prints. Talli looked Bee-autiful in it, and I was excited to see what her stats were, but when the light cleared, Talli looked down and lost it.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Did they get smaller? Why did Pixie's get bigger?!" Talli said as she grabbed at her tiny Chest Pads.
"I Kill You! And not all men are interested in the Ballooning Nectar bags. I happen to think that you look good with what you have," Will said as he appeared directly behind Talli.
I expected to see Talli jump or get startled from the black-covered mountain that had just popped up behind her. Instead, Talli closed her eyes and leaned back into him; my cute Bee is growing up, even if she isn't growing out.
"When did this happen?" I asked, looking at the two with a raised eyebrow.
"Will likes to keep me on my toes by visiting me often, but I know he just wants to visit. It's been nice having him stop by," Talli said with a smile.
"You know me, Queen. Just trying to help where I can, and coming down here is calming and relaxing. Plus, this one always has something new and interesting to tell me about, and I like the sounds of her voice. I wish I would have come Bee-fore, and then I could have told the Queen to give you my Gene!" Will said, draping his arms down and over Talli's chest, and she leaned her head on his arm.
"I don't think that Assassin is really a stat for Talli, and you will protect her, so there is no need for that, right?" I asked with a smile as I unconsciously pulled Xani close to me.
"Yes, my Queen. I will take care of this one and make sure no harm befalls her. It will also give me a good excuse to visit more!" Will said as he craned down to kiss the top of Talli's head, and I activated my scan as Xani leaned into me.

"Wonderful, now you can help your sister with the production of Meca-Nectar. I am very excited to see what interesting new and fun ideas that you come up with! Will, always good to see you keeping everyone on their toes, but I will leave the two of you now," I said to the two of them.
"Yup, I also heard that you're going to finally fix BB's hand! Good, that woman is becoming insufferable! I have never seen someone so determined before!" Will said, looking at me with a grin.
"BB? Leah? Yes, I plan on going to see her right now. I was hoping that I would have more time to walk through the flowers. Unfortunately, this has taken up more time than I had expected," I said.
"Sorry, Queen. I know that you love walking with the flowers, but next time you come, we will walk through them," Talli said with a smile, and I nodded back with a smile.
"Yes, I would like that. I want Xani and you to work together on the Crystal Flowers and work on unlocking all of their secrets. There is something special about the Nectar that they produce. Races all over the world are using it for many different things, so the more we know about it, the farther ahead we will get," I explained to them, and both Will and Talli nodded to me.
"Ready to go, my most radiant Queen of Queens?" Tag asked.
"Yes, but I would like to know how the two of you are doing? You both have been through so much, yet both of you have walked through fire and emerged," I said to them, leaving the sentence unfinished.
"Yeah, we came through, but my Excellent brother helped me decide that we want to make a change in this world. Tag and I will stand by your side through any storm, and we will always Bee here to protect you, but we want more than just that. We want to teach this world to Bee excellent to one another," Sig said proudly, and Tag grabbed his shoulder.
"This world needs a big change, and we think that big change is you, my most majestic Queen of all Queens! Together, with your help, we will, just like Sig said, teach the world to care and be the most excellent it can be!" Tag said with the same fiery determination.
