The weapons are noticed, but Ben doesn't comment on them. He's met Nexus inhabitants who carry weapons before. He himself carries a blaster at his side. There may be an anti-violence field, and the Nexus may seem like a peaceful place, but there's also no need to take chances, especially when Ben's been warned that the Nexus isn't free of risk or threats. Clearly he's not the only one with similar thoughts.

He can also guess that just because someone looks human here doesn't mean they necessarily are. It could be that this woman has something strange about her, but Ben can't pit his finger on exactly what else she could be besides human.

"As I said, I'm hardly an expert, but I can't disagree with you on the second part." Ben shrugs in reply to her answer. "I haven't seen you around the Nexus before, but I'm new. There's a lot I haven't seen yet, I think."
