Unfortunately, Zoya doesn't possess a calendar, but she doubts the specific day and time are of interest to Nikolai. He wants to know if she's been hiding from him. She hasn't. She'd have found him instantly if she had known he was here.
Later, she'll be angry that she hadn't thought to search for him and that he's not in Ravka where he needs to be.
His second question prompts her to furrow her brow softly. "I found myself in Thorne, yes. I take it that you're not passing by from"—and she waves her hand dismissively—"some other place."
This is a very casual, easy conversation between a King and his very temperamental General. (She's doing her best to remain even-tempered.)
