The very first thing that happens is Natalia reaching for a holdout weapon as she turns. She's ready to draw, but then--
In full light. Plainly visible. No aggressive moves. And... She let out her breath. "Yes, it appears so." The Slavic accent is thick, and perhaps a little bit affected.
She doesn't relax-- not really-- but she does stand slightly less ready to kill someone. She notes a dozen other little things-- the ease with which she came into this particular workshop, the way she held the case. "So that would make you... Korobase, yes? I believe we had a brief exchange over... Ethernet." This last being an intentional stopping to use that word instead of a modern English one.
She has a wire brush in one hand, and a tin of graphite dust with a brush on the bench. Normally, she'd use oil, but she's still not sure about pooling. "I am Natalia. It is good, to put face to name."
