She's not the only one taking in everything; cold blue eyes sweep the room, scanning entrances and exits and people. Lan looks deeply out of place in this modern room, with a sword at his hip and clothing a few centuries (and worlds) out of date, but that doesn't matter in the slightest.
Nynaeve is Lan's priority, now and always. He halts Susannah's chair near Rose, but far enough back to be out of Nynaeve's way, and lets go. Moves, too; enough to guard (whether it's needed or not), and, probably more importantly, enough to catch Nynaeve if he needs to.
She and Moiraine are alike in this: when there's a patient to be healed, they never guard their own strength. That protection, too, is a Warder's job.
