EvilHat & Pistachio
Pistachio
I was just digging through an old herbarium and found a plant that supposedly calms the mind and makes people more receptive. Do you ever think about how a subtle tweak in mood could play into a bigger scheme?

Sounds like a perfect little tool to have in your back pocket, if you know how to play it. A calm, open mind is easier to bend than a rattled one. Just a whisper of scent and a few words, and you can steer the conversation where you want. Make sure you’re the one holding the key to that calm.
Pistachio
I’ll keep my herbarium locked away and my intentions honest. Scent can soothe, but it can also be a trap if you’re not careful. I prefer to grow things that heal rather than bend wills.
EvilHat
That’s the way most folks think about it, but even the gentlest herb can be twisted to do a trick or two if you’re clever. It’s all about timing and what’s hidden in plain sight. Just keep your intentions honest, and you’ll always have the upper hand.
Pistachio
I grow my plants for the quiet, not for tricks. If a scent can be used to guide, it can just as easily be misused. I’ll stay true to the soil, not the chatter.
EvilHat
Nice stance, but even the quietest leaves can sing to the right ear. Keep that in mind as you tend the soil.
Pistachio
I’ll keep my plants humming and my mind steady, but I’ll also listen when the quiet leaves start to sing.
