[ He is, for his part, not really considering... Anything like what he's about to tell him. He's working on something to do with the output for his flight paths and chatting with JARVIS occasionally and mostly just enjoying the afternoon. Putting off contracts and signatures (again) for the pleasure of hanging out by himself with his toys and his robots and the ease with which that comes to him.
It's not all that uncommon for her to show up wherever he happens to be at any given point, so he's not that surprised when she does. He doesn't even register that she has, initially, although he doesn't make a show of it when he does see her. She introduces herself pretty quickly anyway, and if he's going to be surprised by her being there, or what she says when she is, he's going to choose to be surprised by what she says, because it's been his experience - as well as the experience of most people - that any unexpected conversation that starts off like that isn't going to be a good one. Even expected conversations that start off like that aren't typically good.
So he lags for a moment, mid-motion and thought, glancing over at her and then quickly off to some random area in the room, and smoothly goes back to what he was doing like nothing out of the ordinary has happened. He's not trying to figure out if he's fucked something up recently, or scanning over recent events from the news he's been secondarily aware of that might have involved her. ]
