The girl who had saved Howard after his encounter with Soma, familiar with their predicament and having asked for nothing in return, had told them they would meet again.
Howard hadn't expected it to be under these circumstances.

However, the young man was evidently not in league with the girl and the elder, as Howard could easily discern the man's cautious, almost fearful vigilance towards them.
Indeed, caution is prudent when facing unknown individuals.
Noticing Howard's gaze, the girl, who had been conversing with the elder, turned and warmly beckoned him over, then said something to the elder.
