While they talked, people came in, went out again, formed groups themselves or joined Jubal and Ben.  Jubal found in them a most unusual feeling, an unhurried relaxation that at the same time was a dynamic tension.  No one seemed excited, never in a hurry... yet everything they did seemed purposeful, even gestures as apparently accidental and unpremeditated as encountering one another and marking it with a kiss or a greeting - or sometimes not.  It felt to Jubal as if each move had been planned by a master choreographer... yet obviously was not.
