"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." She addressed Iliana again. "I had a bit of time on my hands and decided to come by for a visit." She glanced towards the other two professors before continuing. "Or I can come back if it's more convenient."
Seeing Angela coming through the door, a huge grin spread across Iliana's face. "Angela! Hello." She rushed over and promptly gave the woman a warm hug "What a pleasant surprise," she added. Shaking her head slightly, Iliana returned her smile and said, "No, you're not interrupting at all. Would you like to sit down?" she asked as she walked over and stood beside Marcus.

...and Angela.
Marcus immediately got out of the chair and graced the librarian with a huge smile. "Nice to see you Angela" he said graciously. He was going to say that she wasn't interrupting anything but she wasn't speaking to him, so he shoved his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his feet for a moment.
"How about I go and make the coffee's and you...um...entertain" he asked looking at Iliana.
Sure she was eager to spend the day with him. But she was also elated to have the company. Being out on the grounds, she seldom got the chance to visit with her colleagues. This really was such a pleasant surprise.
Hearing Marcus' offer, Iliana smiled up at him and said, "Marcus Lawson, you are a dear. Thank you." She reached down and squeezed his hand briefly and then headed over to the sofa and sat down.
