Ione wasn't actually in the common room before, but she is now, about sixty seconds or so behind Sasha.
She had been in her own quarters researching, but Cantata isn't that big, and even if you have your senses dampened down as hard as you can sometimes it's impossible to not feel things. The kind of emotions that might inspire punching walls and breaking mugs often reverberate if they're not behind strong mental shields are difficult to set aside. And Ione hasn't entirely adapted to the people she's with, so her natural impulse when feeling things like that is to make sure no one is dead.
Instead: Sasha the boss-lady, sans anyone bleeding out. This may be a positive start, but when the mission commander is reverberating-angry ... not really.
Knowing that Sasha is likely aware of her capabilities and, if she's up to paying that close attention probably knows why she has turned up, Ione moves close enough to be in conversation range without crowding: "Are you all right?"
[Note that zuhrovet was consulted OOC before determining that Ione could feel that without physical contact!]
