[So he's nosy and perhaps fancies himself a hero... all right then.]
I'm sure there's more to it, but they wanted a strong reaction to someone threatening violence. They were in control of that reaction, and it also revealed who respond most strongly to that kind of advance.
[As for what they wanted from her? Well, she thinks they might have been testing her words to Bradley. Her life had already been wagered in that last foolish bet she had made.]
If someone approaches Ayaka with a loaded gun, what will you do? Everyone knows the answer to that question.
How many could say the same for what you'd do if I were the one being approached?
[Maybe he would, regardless of who was approached. But hopefully her explanation still catches on. People reveal themselves in times of crisis. She had, unfortunately, revealed herself to be impulsive and childish.]

[She could have been crueler to them. Would have, maybe, if things had been different, if she hadn't thought about their birds. If she let a little more of her father's despicable blood burn in her.]
I'd be more interested in someone speaking up who wasn't close to them or someone I'd expect to who didn't.

I don't like being mocked as a fool.

Was there one that you were hoping to see, in that case?
