"Do you see it yet?"

Reea continued looking, but after a few more moments, she tossed her hands in the air.  "Sorry, I still don't."

T'Lov let out a short sigh.

Reea was looking at a rock garden.  It was about ten feet square and filled with rocks of all shapes, sizes, colors, and kinds.  There were round and smooth, flat and sharp, and oddly-shaped ones.  Growing through the rocks were plants, mostly scrub and a type of cactus, flora one would commonly see in a desert.
