[He's surprised to find that a few start a conversation with him, concerning the subject of photography and web. It's easier for him to talk about these items of interest than, say, struggling to find an idle topic of irrelevance, so Michaels falls into the rhythm of banter with them. He reaches a certain level of comfort, but still retains his telltale personality of being quiet when the attention is away from him. He'll give Iona a little nod or wave when she glances over at him, to let her know he's fine.
Though he's not a drinker, not even a social one, he finds he can't be rude and not take their offers of craft beer and hard cider. He drinks a little throughout the conversations (sometimes merely to have something to do when others talk), and eventually (probably sooner than the rest) reaches the point of fogginess, resting his chin on his hand.]
