Geralt riding ahead of her wasn't too surprising, guys liked being in charge. It was the dismounting and drawing his sword that was- well. He didn't seem to know what a sense of humor was, and if he met one he probably would try to stab it in the face.
So Abby was absolutely clear he was serious.
She gently brushed the neck of her horse before jumping down to the ground. Now, normally, when someone jumps off a horse they land on the ground, or a chair, or a hapless cabbage merchant in their way. They land is the point. They don't just vanish between horseback and the ground.
She didn't ask that power to wrap around her on the way down, it strongly suggests everything around not pay attention to her, just ignore the tiny girl who is a little freaked out. Freaked out enough she's hiding in plain sight-ish. Of course, there are clues Abby hasn't gone anywhere. The only footprints being where Abby landed, someone is still holding the reins of her horse. That she literally didn't go anywhere.
