Lena heard the voices and stuck her head around the door. "Oh hello! I'm Lena." She went to shake hands with both of them and to relieve Svetlana of the bowl of salad. "This is great, thank you."
Svetlana just nodded quickly.
Thomas joined them, smiling benignly. "Hello there, I'm Thomas Kemp. Dinner should be ready very soon, come in, come in!"
