The turtlekin tilts his head, but he's absorbing each detail she puts forth, even if in some cases he might not quite understand some of it. But he more or less gets the idea, curiosity piqued at there being something to a weapon that hasn't been yet employed by the Empire.
The potential for new ideas has been in the Empire's hands and they haven't thought to use the people who hold them for little more than manual labor. Which Donnie supposes is a good thing, not that he figures anyone would be willing to indulge after the treatment they're likely to receive. His expression pinches slightly, hand worrying at his neck as his thoughts slip back to darker days, knowing the Empire didn't just ask if they wanted things badly enough.
"...I don't suppose you can draw out the mechanics..?" he asks, holding out the container of graphite powder to Natalia. "Although I guess the real question would be how compatible ammo would be with the specifications, even if it's made to fit. I could probably customize a rifle for you but I'd really need to understand what makes it special."
