Salem's first instinct was to peek into thor mind to see what was going on. Not a very friendly thing to do, but it appears that Salem had already pissed off the locals enough that they were pointing their guns at her. Even if she had no idea what she had done.
But they were talking to her like they had met before. That was bothering her. She had never been here before. She most certainly never would have openly insulted a place. Not to mention it was not just the people in this saloon. The townspeople had recognized her on sight, even running away with the fear of being shot.
Salem flinched in pain as she hit a mental trap in the shotgun wielding man's mind. He flinched in pain and shook his head, trying to throw off the disorientation. Meanwhile Salem was blinking in surprise even more.
