The threat doesn't seem to bother her at all; if anything, it seems she's used to it and even giggles at the notion. But when he mentions that he's a guardsman, her eyes light up even more and she lets out a very familiar giggle of excitement.
"You are a guard! I'm going to be one when I grow up - my brother is one of the guards who keeps our town safe back home, and once I'm twelve I can join him." If it's even possible, she seems to get even more excited and less aware of Ivar's annoyance with the opportunity to brag. "Can I come watch you work? My brother never lets me, he says I can't until I can summon a risen to keep me safe, but I'm just fine with a sword and I can handle myself, I really can."
It seems about this point that she finally realizes she's skipped past the most important part of meeting new people. "What's your name, anyway?"
