Stan's obviously eyeing the two of them, trying to determine whether Tosh is Ginsberg's girlfriend, and, if not (or even if so, if Ginsberg knows the guy well enough, and he thinks he does) if he can get away with hitting on her. Perhaps fortunately, Tosh speaks again before he has the chance to start up with something ridiculous, and Ginsberg shrugs.

"Yeah, it's an okay workplace, except for the pest problem."

He looks meaningfully in Stan's direction as he says it. It's a pretty weak joke, but Stan laughs anyway, and flips him off. For a moment, Ginsberg's so relieved to be back home, in a room with people he actually likes, that he can hardly stand it. Then he remembers himself, and doesn't start any emotional blathering. Instead, he just smiles at Tosh. "Give me just a second," he says, "I've got to tell someone I'm leaving, and then we can go."

With that, he leaves her for a brief moment as he goes off down the hall in search of Peggy. If he knows her, she won't question him leaving, at least, not more than perfunctorily. In the meantime, he figures Tosh has enough to look at with all the sketches on the walls, and maybe a decent conversation, too, if she strikes one up with Stan.

He's back within three minutes, coat and a pile of papers in hand.
