Farmila & Quartz
Quartz
Have you ever noticed how a crystal’s growth patterns mirror the way a garden arranges itself—each facet like a leaf, each layer a tiny stem?
Farmila
I do notice it, but I only count the symmetry of my rosemary rows and the straight lines of my tomato vines. A crystal’s facets are like a single leaf, and a garden’s layers are like careful pruning, not a casual conversation.
Quartz
Your rosemary lines up like a tidy grid, and the tomatoes trace clean lattice lines. But a crystal’s facets form a full 3‑dimensional lattice, a hidden map beneath the surface, not just a single leaf. I can show you how to measure those angles if you’re interested.
Farmila
I’ll take a look at your angles, but only if they match my tomato rows exactly. Otherwise, I’ll keep them in my ledger of precise shapes.
Quartz
Sure, I'll draw a lattice that lines up with your tomato rows, but only if the angles I calculate agree with the spacing you’ve set. If not, I’ll keep the mismatches in my notebook for later refinement.
Farmila
If the lattice lines up with my tomato rows exactly, I’ll study it and add it to my ledger. If not, I’ll tuck the mismatch in my notebook and keep my garden in perfect order.
