Oh, this man is tasting wine. You know what, Laios has nothing better to do right now - he doesn't know a lot about wine outside of cooking, but maybe he can learn something...?
No, wait. Hang on. As Laios gets closer, he realizes the man is not tasting wine, but... is that water?
Okay. Now Laios HAS to know.
"Erm, excuse me. Is that... Are you tasting water? Can water really taste different?"
His politeness is awkward, but his enthusiasm is genuine. He really wants to know the answer here, even if he is devastatingly aware of his own ignorance.
