Naomi paused at the first sight of the rifle. He was armed, and she was not, and if she remembered anything from her days as a street rat, it was never to provoke someone who had the upper hand. [b]Never.[/b] Pride and morals be damned, if you wanted to survive, you would take that advice. "Er, wrong way," she muttered, waving a little to distract him from the cactus he was facing. But at least he seemed to have heard her, which was good, she guessed. "But, I'm not armed, see?" She raised her hands in the air, proving they held no weapons within reach. Besides, she was pretty sure whatever weapons she had were blown off her body and either in smithereens, or so buried under all the rubble that she had no hope of finding them in time to fight back, if he decided to shoot. A quick look over told her that he was partially enhanced, if that was the right word, but anyone could see that. It wasn't hard to miss, most people would have been immediately drawn to augments in the first place. He probably had an eye, if the fact he had been facing the wrong direction told him anything. There was probably something else too, people who had implants tended to have more than one. She could tell he was tall as well, even from a distance, easily enough to tower over her relatively short stature. Some scars too. She wouldn't deny it, she was curious as to where they were from. After all, scars told stories, and she always enjoyed listening to a tale or two in her free time. "Oh sorry, I haven't exactly answered your question, have I?" Naomi suddenly remembered, rolling back onto the heels of her feet. "Well, I'm Naomi, Naomi Lyons if you want to get technical. Well, I'm female, uh, if that does any good. Mercenary, but I can assure you I don't have any interest in attacking you right now. If I was the person who did this, I wouldn't be stupid enough to catch myself in the explosion." She nodded to the covered wound on her arm. "And... Well, actually, that's all the information I can really disclose for right now. You know how the business is."
