She's fussing because she really wants the people here to like her and injuring random people in a shop tends to not make the best impression. Also because she's used to having to apologize for being clumsy or otherwise in the way, so overcompensating a bit out of caution until you know the rules is a thing.
"Sorry," Scorpia said one last time. "I'm just still getting used to... well, pretty much everything around here, so I don't..." She trailed off with a sigh, face-clawing. "Yeah, I'm just... gonna shut up now." Now that she'd effectively ruined any chance of making a good first impression with this person. Good job, Scorpia...
When the young woman asked about her stinging, she looked back at her mildly confused. "Well, yeah," she said. After a quick glance over her shoulder to make certain there was nothing and no one behind her, she briefly flexed her tail by way of demonstration. "Kind of goes with the whole 'scorpion' thing. Normally my venom can temporarily paralyze people and knock them out for a little while, but I don't know if it works the same way here."
