- Maybe we should ask Rohey. Perhaps their tea is expensive... - Veserod couldn't help but glance at the table, as if wanting to check if the refined Gregor would still have his head. - What exactly do they do?
Gregor Filanemo possessed natural dexterity and was meticulous in every movement, and therefore was currently outside the risk zone of losing his head. — Hmm... For now, my knowledge is too superficial for me to accurately convey each of the numerous stages of this ritual, but I think that its tasks interestingly combine what we were talking about not so long ago. On the one hand, it requires adhering to very strict rules; special gardens and houses are built for its performance, and certain utensils are used – these are aspects of an advanced civilization, one that thinks too much about every movement. On the other hand, life in a civilized society creates a relentless pace of everyday life, which blurs one moment with another and forces a person to seek a way out of this insane cycle... The tea ceremony allows one to rest from this, to temporarily forget about worries, to create a serene mood, gives the opportunity to enjoy beauty, and helps to see the truth – to look with an unclouded gaze at both life as a whole and at the events of one's own life.

— Yes, I'm overseeing the process, so to speak, but we have more than enough helping hands today.
