Ylva raises an eyebrow at Theo's conversational gymnastics, managing not to grimace when reminded of her swift ejection from what had more or less been home.

Ylva scrambles for an answer that isn't 'nowhere, because I only found out I was going yesterday', seizing on the first place that springs to mind.
"Steepslope Research Centre. My... have a friend who works there."
