It's actually a good bit before Raleigh actually gets herself free from the crowd and making sure that there were enough cups and that the oven was off and oh, of course they can put on a kettle for tea--
All of that stuff kind of combined to make it a little bit hectic, and that's why when she finally saw Coop - and saw that he'd apparently made a buddy for life with Oscar - that she doesn't notice the pillows at first. It's not until she plops herself down - her leg's having an Interesting Sort of Day - and she's actually cozy-comfortable that she shifts, her eyes widening. "These... weren't here a half hour ago." Her eyes narrow in suspicion even though she's smiling. "You wouldn't have anything to do with the super gorgeous pillows that just happen to totally match my couch, now would you?"
The whole... asking Coop out thing had sort of been a success, but they hadn't hashed out the details, and she's got not idea that he'd talked to Sylvie about it-- if she had, she might have hesitated before inviting both of them to this thing, but since it's a one-time thing, no strings, the whole deal-- she didn't realise it was the sort of thing he'd have talked to her about. She's recovered since the whole Museum incident, and she's just really happy to see him-- it's the most that she's actually seen anybody, really, the last couple of weeks, since she mostly had her head down with work since Christmas.
