Hannah's shake helped a good bit too.
"Mum! Honestly, just ONCE get Caroline to fix the boiler!" he mumbled into the.. dirt...?
Oh bother.
Tobi took a hold of little Hannah's hand, and held tight as he pushed up off the ground and righted himself to a sitting position on the bench.
"Oops?" he said, testing the waters. He took some slow careful breaths for good measure.
"Nothing, to see here, I'm good!" Not afraid of Magical Creatures, did not freak out and faint. None of it happened. It's all in your imagination. Go about your business, I'm not the coward you're looking for, Move along. "Did anyone else have any more ideas?" Change the subject, change the subject!
"Dude. What just happened?" Zeke asked. He could see Hannah giving Tobi "the look." The one that frightened children. Her "determined" look. Tobi was soooo not off the hook on this one; once something like that caught Hannah's attention, she did NOT drop it.
Good luck, man, he thought after Tobi's attempt to change the subject.
