"Life moves slowly here. There are arguments over the rules of bowls, and the correct amount of time to steep tea. The Station Master seems to avoid the villagers. There is an unusual unique quality to the starlight which filters through the underside of the caps."
Hybras seems to be something of a dismal, sleepy retirement town in space. Many of its residents are octogenarians, and despite the rampant fungus, Blemmigans, and the giant ants, the colonists are unusually welcoming compared to most of the High Wilderness's settlers. They'll gladly invite travelers in for tea and games.
The Wizened Mayor claims that the reason that he and the townsfolk are staying in Hybras is because they are enjoying a "second youth." They were all workers from the Brabazon Workworld, and their old age is the result of the Workworld's time acceleration. They are using what little time they have left to simply have fun.
