[...Well getting hit in the head with a pumpkin is ONE way to jerk him out of it.]
O-ow, dammit, what--???
[And then he sees her retreating, looking at him with fear-filled eyes, and regardless of his own trembling and the tears against his face, he's suddenly burdened with shame.
...
A press of his hand to his eyes, wiping the tears away. He was okay. He was going to be okay. There had to be a way for him to power through it, for her sake.
It's that need to comfort her, to care for her, that he tries to focus on, to strengthen and balance out the spike of fear still coursing through him. Only then does he slowly attempt to move again, sliding the blanket into his arms while pushing the pumpkin away with the heel of his shoe.
He's sorry. He didn't mean to scare her. Can he approach her?]
