Natalia was taken aback when the stranger grabbed her wrist tightly, and she gasped, looking at the hooded figure with not only shock but also malice. Just when she was about to go into fight or flight mode, the figure addressed her by name (or, a least, her street name). Letting go of her wrist and taking back her cloak a bit, the figure turned out to be a female. Natalia was surprised yet again, but she decided to remain calm since her opponent had released her.

Hearing that she was early and would have to wait a while, Natalia decided that it was likely in her best interest to respond to this shadowy woman, if she wanted to keep her job and receive her pay when it was over. “Sure, I suppose I can wait here with you...” Natalia had her guard up, but she tried not to act too sketchy, for fear of being dismissed from a payout that she desperately needed. “And thanks,” Natalia took the coat tentatively, examining it fully before donning it herself, in case any Tom-foolery happened to be taking place, “It sure is a bit frigid out here today, isn’t it?” She asked her.
