Hopefully, by acting overtly dunk her opponent would see her as less of a threat; potentially letting his guard down enough for her stupidly slow reflexes to buy her a window to get away. She closes her eyes for far longer than she should have, stealing her nerves and pulling her combat magic knowledge to the front of her hazy brain. The man has been waiting for far too long for her to respond and she is certain that if she doesn't act soon, he will lose his patience and come after her. If he comes into the stall, her options dwindle to basically nothing.
