“I dunno,” I answered her, feeling legitimately nervous.  I didn’t want to refuse her outright and blow our cover, but I definitely didn’t want to get high.

Yeah, figured as much. It’s not really Taylor’s thing.

I was uncomfortable enough with the idea to begin with, but doing it here, in this kind of chaos?

And while you’re here for a specific, undercover purpose?

“Trust me,” she told me.

Obediently, I opened my mouth.

I guess she has a plan. That, or she Knows the pills to be fake.

She pressed one small pill down on my tongue.  I closed my mouth.  She turned to Brooks and gave him one as well.

As our bodyguards led us through the crowd, she leaned over until our heads were touching, “Sugar pills.  A little sleight of hand on my part.  Just for appearances.  Don’t stress.”

Ahh. A bit of both, then! I guess she came prepared for this, and probably picked Decadence because it looks the most like the pills she brought.
