There's no sound at first. Maybe that fall really was that bad? Maybe Inigo somehow got knocked out cold through sheer embarrassment?

But after a moment or two there is a sound. It starts quiet, but then it gets a bit louder. It sounds a little like a whine, or the start of a crying fit, even though - by the time Inigo sits up enough to be able to look at Della - there are no tears on his face.

Though he does look very, very embarrassed.

"H-- How did you.." Inigo starts, but then his gaze drops from Della's over to the higgledy that's now happily skipping around Della. "Jumblie! I thought you were supposed to keep people out!" How could he get betrayed like this by his own little tiny sun creature.
