The unsheathing of the sword--even if only halfway--has Klaudia backing up even more, dropping the light spell that she was half-focused on. Her gaze snaps to the caravan and back to this man. They wouldn't let someone murder her right here on the road, right? ...Her level of confidence in that is not super high.
That book in her hands is now being held up like a shield in front of her, in lieu of anything better; and her shoulders are hiked defensively. The iron rod in her pocket is meant as a weapon, but she's equally unsure if she should make any sudden movements for it.
...Maybe she can throw the book at his face and run. Someone's bound to notice, then. She'll file that away as Plan B.
"Hey, hey-- Just a moment! A second of your time. I have a consideration for you: What if you put the sword away? The whole way. Because in case you didn't know, pulling a sword on someone is not the best first impression to make on an island that you can't leave! That's a thing that most people can agree on, so let's agree on that right now, okay?"
