That much she summed up after he went against his orders and spared her. Punishment for that where she came from was far more than a week, and quite painful. She had the scars to prove it.
Natalia quieted again and looked away, a reasonable attempt to control her frustration. But, then she felt the weight of his hands on her shoulders and tensed under them, though didn't move, or, shrug them away.
Trusting him was still a work in progress, however she did find herself wanting to believe what he said. And after a long moment of consideration, she looked up and nodded.
"Da, xopowo." she replied quietly, and a moment later gave a very slight, almost unnoticeable grin. "It means 'yes, okay'."
