[This is a development she was not expecting to encounter. Logan... he possesses an obstacle that will... prove difficult to over come if she doesn't go about this carefully.

She lets out a sigh of relief, her stance shifting from defensive to something, almost relaxed. Blending, molding herself to the situation... depending on what is needed. For him, she feels that 'pretending' might be the best course of action. She isn't sure how long she can fool him, but if she can draw him in... get him close enough, she might be able to incapacitate him long enough to deal with him later.]

Logan? What is going on?

[Logan raises his hands in a gesture to try and reassure her that he wasn't here to attack or detain her.] Natalia. You know I wouldn't hurt you. You know that. [He says calmly, keeping eye contact at all costs, especially because he can still see the way she's calculating in her mind, planning incapacitating moves and the best strategic escape route.]

None of us know how we got here. We're tryin'a figure it out. No need to do anything... rash. Not yet at least...

[His hands are where the majority of the threat is.. having them visible isn't enough to take all of the edge off, but enough that she takes a step closer to him, it's a dance. Each step careful and mindful of her partners.

She nods, her brow creased with worry. Part of her knows he's telling the truth, as long as he believes she's not ta threat, he won't do anything.]

I know.. I know.. Can't be too sure, strange place... strange people... It's good to see a friend.

[Look, she's even holstering her weapon. A step in the right direction right?]

[plaidsamurai]

[Her unease is making the hair on the back of his neck prickle. The gun slips into the holster, but the tension is still there, both of them ready to spring into an attack at the first sign of trouble. Natalia, there's distrust in her eyes despite the fact that she's easing back, but the strange thing is... she is his Natalia, the scent is dead on, not like some of the others, so something else was off.]

... yea. [He agrees with her statement with his own suspicions.]

[He eyes her, brow furrowing for half a second before easing.] Just behave yerself, kid. [He says, to most it would sound good-natured, but he knew Natalia wouldn't miss the edge of warning there.]

[owe-him-a-debt.livejournal.com]

[She can feel the suspicion in him. It's thick enough between them they could almost choke on it. Never the less, she proceeds cautious, but schooling herself to let the tension melt off her enough to offer a twitch of a smile.]

You don't have to worry about me.

[She doesn't miss it. She knows better.]

I can take care of myself.

[plaidsamurai]

[Logan gives her a curt nod, turning to walk away, giving her his back. He wasn't afraid of her, she knew it, but she could always use a reminder.] Ain't you I'm worried about, darlin'.

[owe-him-a-debt.livejournal.com]

[As long as, it remains this way, then he isn't her concern.]

Don't wander too far, closer you are the easier it'll be for me to come bail you out if you get in trouble.

[There's enough good humor there, right?]
