“You can’t be considered a party-goer if you’re not participating in the party.” Achilleas chimed back in. His eyes narrowed as well as he continued. “Are you saying my tea isn’t good enough for you? I brewed it with utmost care from the supplies on hand in this lab. I guarantee its flavor is spectacular.”
Petrakos, the March Hare
“People participate in many ways,” Solal defended. “One cannot define ‘participation’ for another.” He said, though to avoid making the situation worse, he took a small sip of the now cold tea.

“There you go!” Duvosa said, smiling at Solal in encouragement. She looked back over at Achilleas and Ria. “He’s right though. There is no need to make him feel bad for not eating or drinking. It just means there is much more for the rest of us!” She grabbed a little pastry and stuffed it in her mouth.
-Duvosa, a Card Guard
Achilleas pondered that opinion with a hand on his chin. He nodded slowly for a moment before then shaking his head. “I would tend to agree except that these things are meant to be shared and enjoyed together. All the effort I’ve been into making this ‘tea’ would be lost if only I were the one to drink it. Besides, clearly we’re thinking things irrationally with a metric to measure enjoyment and not comfort.”

“Duvosa is drinking it,” said Solal, pointing out that Petrakos was not the only one to drink the tea, whether Solal did or not. “Enjoyment and comfort are both too abstract to be measured.” He commented.

“I disagree,” Ria replied without hesitation, her gaze fixed on Solal. “They may not be measured with a set of scales or measuring tape, but they can be measured. If I were to ask each and everyone of you to tell me on a scale from 0 to 10 how comfortable you are and the same for how much you enjoy yourself, we can measure each person’s comfort and enjoyment and than calculate the average level of comfort and enjoyment. From that we can draw conclusions and try to make this tea party even more comfortable and enjoyable next time.” With that the normally so shy and demour scientist took another sip of her tea while her eyes remained on Solal; one eyebrow raised, her lips slightly pursed.
