"Mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead...Claudia isn't prone to wearing her headphones around the Warehouse. Generally, it's better if she can keep her ears open, and it's not one of those cases where she's pissed at someone and wants to make their life difficult

Jamie hates coming through in buildings; it almost always means there's someone there, and awkwardness inevitably ensues.

However, in this case, the someone seems to have some kind of music thingummy in, which might make her easy enough to slip by.

. . . Jamie attempts to saunter very quietly, in case she opens his eyes and catches him, and starts trying to come up with plausible explanations for his presence in a warehouse.

Unfortunately for Jamie's luck, Claudia's peripheral vision is better than her singing voice. (Which is... not terrible, but she still hates having an audience.)
"If you ever lose your way--oh, hey, Jamie. A butterfly will--"
...WAIT A SECOND. She pulls the headphones off; this is clearly going to require some follow-up.
"Jamie! When did you get here? Did you use the door, or just... pop in?" If she had to guess, she'd say the latter - Toronto Sector's both a good walk from here and in a different direction - but this place is big enough that people could wander around for months on end without ever seeing each other. So it's better to ask.

. . . something is very weird here.

Jamie is sporting a distinct deer-in-the-headlights look for a moment before pulling himself together - however she knows him, and however she knows about him, at least it looks like he's not going to get imminently thrown out. A start!

And the number one rule when walking the bounds: whatever you're given, run with it.

"Popped!" he says brightly, and endeavors to look like he was in no way sneaking out at all. "Quite unexpectedly, actually."

[claudiometer]

That's proooobably a good thing. Sneaking out would take a long, long time to pull off.
Claudia blinks at the deer-in-headlights face (she's pretty sure she told him to let her know if he ever popped in?), but shrugs it off. "Cool. You haven't been stuck in here too long yet, have you? Just making sure we didn't all miss something important."
