The reassurance that the shakes are nothing to be feared brings about a childish curiosity. A need for the scholar to investigate, and to find out what, exactly, these things are. Why the earth trembles, and why they seem to grow longer every day.
This is the farthest that Newt has been—always keeping tucked in the safety of Easthollow, especially after the attack on his sister, Leta. If his parents knew, they would scold him up and down.
But in truth, Newt never meant to wander this far, and he grows scared the further he wanders lost in circles. The sun is going down, and every creak leaves the scholar jolting. His ears airplane, and a whimper escapes his lips.
