Ulla isn't always good at being kind when she's afraid. For proof, just look at how she acted when Taylor cornered her after that breach. But she doesn't want to hurt Taylor, and she thinks it's a good sign that she managed to go talk things through with Warren rather than blindly lashing out, this time around. She can try to carve out that sort of space for herself when she needs it. So she just nods and squeezes Taylor's hand in return, with a soft, "Thank you."

She shifts the arm around Taylor's shoulders so she can bury her free hand in the other woman's curls, cradling the back of her head. "Do you want to stay here tonight? I have blankets, and I'd like the company."

It isn't just that she knows Taylor would rather not sleep alone. She has no experience with any other parts of a relationship, but she knows she likes this. It was the only thing she did have, with Signy. Nights curled in bed together, holding hands, legs intertwined, laughing and talking till late into the night.
