Robin listens intently at Tali's description of the Krogan. In truth, it didn't take a master of observation to have noticed how large the alien was, or that fact that it was armed (even if Robin wasn't familiar with that exact model of firearm). Tali's clear fear of the Krogan had been pretty hard to miss as well, what with how quickly she pulled Robin out of there.
At the same time, though, he's hardly the first (bounty hunter? mercenary? schoolyard bully? Whatever he was, it's really hard to tell sometimes) to approach her with a threat. As scary as that situation can be, Robin's developed something of a method to dealing with them: Completely overwhelm them with her powers before they have the chance to do anything. And, as Tali has seen, it's a pretty effective method.
"That was my ability," she says, just loud enough for Tali to hear her over the club music. Carefully, she looks over their shoulder, through the door to see if they were followed. It's a well-practiced motion, but as she does so the tiniest bit of her stoic facade begins to fade.
It's back, though, by the time she turns back to face Tali.
"I ate a Devil Fruit. The Flower-Flower fruit - it lets me create copies of my body parts wherever I want," she explains. As she says so, another arm blooms out of the inner part of her elbow to demonstrate.
"It doesn't really matter how strong he is, I had him surrounded - I could have grabbed him from anywhere, with any number of arms. I wouldn't have let him shoot at us."
That's sort of the beauty of her powers. It takes a little bit of focus, but she's technically got everyone surrounded, at all times. Being able to reach out from anywhere really has its advantages.
