   It could be rephrased as, "She couldn't imagine how they're being there would   
   be an awkward consequence."  I don't know enough of the context really, to   
   determine whether it might be a physical or relationship-related situational   
   question.  But I'm thinking they're just 'good company' to have around, and   
   ordinarily well-behaved.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
