Ray does tend to be overly friendly. He can see the possibility that Lydia overheard his name, but his ego is too large to let him think he'd forget her. He nods; a draw is totally acceptable.
"Well, I was on my way out, to find somewhere less ... stepford candle party-ish?" Why does Ray Palmer know about Tupperware parties? Who knows. But soon enough the party will wind down and it'll be creepy gas time.
Something about Lydia makes him want to stick by her. Or-- confide in her? That settling feeling combined with his cluelessness when it comes to his sometimes-overbearing nature makes up his mind.
"You know I wouldn't mind some company, actually. The way the others look at us sometimes I feel like we should have a Specials buddy system." The invitation comes with a bright smile he can't quite shake. Though warm and genuine, charisma for Ray tends to fall on the side of extremely business-like, unfortunately.
