Gene's been seeing Sonja out and about, much as he's been out and about trying to gin up support for his solution to the Palace problem. Politicking is exhausting, honestly, but he's trying to be diplomatic, no matter how impatient and irritated this makes him.
And in all his talking, he still hasn't met this Foreigner yet. She's a newcomer, and reasonably quiet, but different from how Alayne is quiet. Alayne is always trying to make herself small; Sonja seems to be observing.
So he approaches when they find themselves in the same tea shop. "Hey. Don't believe we've met yet. Sonja, right?"
