[Adam is generally not in the habit of obeying people who shout at him randomly on the street, but one glance is enough to tell him that, perhaps, he ought to listen this time. There's no reason to assume a strange - elf? - with a sword shouting at him is going to attack him if he doesn't listen, but there's no reason not to assume it, either.
In any case, he hasn't seen this man before, and Adam is by now familiar with the disorientation of newcomers. Hopefully that's all that's going on and he's not about to get stabbed. He would really rather not get stabbed today.

He answers carefully, polite.]
