Farran Sherwin cupped a hand to his ear and said, "I can't hear you. Do you believe in fairies?"
The hall erupted into chaos as children sprang out of their seats, spilling popcorn under their feet as they yelled, "Yes!"
The tinker staggered as if he had been struck by a sound-wave and the children giggled.
Farran cocked his head. "Listen. Can you hear someone?"

He widened his eyes and whispered, "She's coming."
