When you see a catastrophe like a whole town on fire your attention tends to focus exlusively on that, so matter how cool-headed a person is. On top of that the way between Magnolia and the forrest was just grassland without any visible landmarks like weird trees or stones.

Besides we don't know if Geoffrey really keeps his cool under pressure. Sure he kept calm when confronted with Mavis illusionary army, but then he figured that illusion out at first glance and thus never was under any pressure.

Being confronted by four small-fry who couldn't even defeat his underlings and had to resort to bluffing is hardly the kind of pressure or stress that would allow us to properly judge his nerves.
