Liz hadn't been expecting anyone, but once Uhura was within fifty feet, she heard the very loud thoughts coming from her. It wasn't unlike her to overheard a voice or two and usually she was good at ignoring it, but this was a familiar mind with a very frantic thread of thoughts running through her. She pretended not to notice, knowing that she Uhura wouldn't want her to know yet. Usually Liz was one to block everyone and she'd managed to master that skill over time on the ship, but it didn't meant that she always was, especially if she was too busy zoning out on finalizing notes.

She looked up when she heard her finally knock on the door. Liz smiled, brushing her red hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear. She lifted a hand and gestured for her to come inside, holding down her desire to blurt out that she knew what had happened already and that Uhura could talk to her if she needed it. Obviously that bit was already known since she was indeed still standing there. "Hi," she smiled, "want to shut the door?" No use in pretending she didn't already know that there was something up. Liz could have seen that even without being telepathic.
