There's no anger in her tone, and she's not exactly taken aback, but his sudden snappishness does more than his second mistake to let her know this might not be what she expected. Still, it's early to assume he's losing on purpose. He's sacrificed on knight and left his bishop more or less useless in the corner, provided she doesn't move into its line of attack.
She moves a pawn, taking a cautious move. If he isn't faking, she'll have the opportunity later on to make up the space on the long game. But on the short, it's a less obvious push.
