Steven absolutely did not notice Layla. The angle was all wrong, and he was doing his best to pay attention, really he was, all of this is very fascinating and informative and probably very useful, it's just he's had a very long day and he's antsy.

So someone's hand landing on his arm makes him jump a little, but then he hears her and it's her. "Layla?" he exclaims, head swiveling around in surprise. Maybe some relief of his own, even.

And Marc is suddenly crowding up behind his eyes, though he doesn't take over, not yet. Steven counts that as a blessing. "Oh my days, Layla, you're here too? Are you okay?" He pulls away from her arm to turn to face her, taking her shoulders in his hands like he had the last time her appearance gave him a shock. He is not being very subtle, but then, who expects Steven Grant to be subtle?
