[Being that Kalmiya has already shaken the worst of the mental disorientation, there's a lot about this reaction that doesn't escape her notice. At first she's just impressed by how quick he is, but the way he shoves his arm at her even though he's nowhere near within reach causes her eyes to widen a small margin in surprise. It's a gesture very reminiscent of the one she'd taken upon waking up here, when she tried to magically blast her "husband" into oblivion.
For now she puts that aside, though. That's something very colored by her own perspective and it's not helpful at the moment. The details that are more immediately relevant are his very tense face and body, the resultant tremble in some of his muscles, and the telltale clamminess of someone in such a panic that they might as well be somewhere else.
Much as she wants to directly call him on his bullshit, she's not stupid enough to risk drawing more attention to the situation by doing so. There are plenty of people around who aren't panicked, which means they don't know anything strange happened, and Kalmiya has seen how strangeness is received here. Her tone remains soothing as she kneels down on the grass right where she is, feeling it wisest not to get too much closer yet.] Yeah, they are.
I know you're fine, but I think you should take a few deep breaths anyway. Smell all this nice summer grass, yeah?
