The boy was afraid but otherwise fine.  He got a pat on the head by a Female Engagement Team Member.  When the firefight had started, the FET had removed their headscarves and donned helmets.

The farmer was worried and very upset.  These people are incredibly poor and that hay is important to their livelihood.
