The earthquake took Jeff by surprise and from the look of things, it did so for everyone else. Lucky enough for him though, he managed to stay standing long enough to notice the tree coming down. Doing his best to handle the situation, he turned to Sila who was unable to remain balanced from the quake and proceeds to grab her and pull her and himself away from the tree's timbering path. 

"Sila are you okay?!" Jeff as he then looked up to note the buff blonde man who had from his guess caused this quake. The idea brought Jeff into an panic. How could one man knock that tree down? Let alone cause an earthquake that shook the whole town and why the hell would he even do this?! 

Going against all sense of reason in his head, Jeff yelled at the man with the questions. "Hey, why did you do that? You realize how many people in this village used that tree for food?!"
