Satisfied with the result (as minor as it is), she gestures for him to take a seat before she takes one herself. She doesn't really mind if he waits there for his friend and while she rarely seeks the company of others, it's refreshing to have someone with her once in a while.

"Not all of them, no. I'll never escape the library if I did." She chuckles at the thought of that (since she'll probably never hear the end of it from the library assistants) and opens the atlas, flipping through the pages until she gets to the map of the Pacific Ocean and the countries surrounding it.
